You shaved the front fenders or rolled them? Shaving them is asking for trouble. Especially if you're rubbing. Doesn't take much to deform them.

I would suggest going down on the width of your front tires by 10mm. That should do the trick.

Yeah I just ended up shaving them. The guy who did it for me has a lot of experience rolling/shaving these cars and recommended shaving the fenders. He said rolling them always causes minor dimples no matter how careful you are. He warned me about my front tires being to big.

These fenders I know are very delicate so I wanna take care of this ASAP! So should I just play it safe and go for a 225/35 ?

Hi I have a stock 2001 gs300 that I plan to drop a bit, but not slam. And I was going to get 18x7.5 +35 rims on front and rear. What size tires should I get on those? I'm quite new when it comes to car stuff so I have no idea and if someone could help that's be great!
And if someone could give me tips on a good setup id appreciate that too!

Yeah the Super Sports from Michelin really are the s***. In my opinion its the benchmark for performance summer without going to track tire.

I don't have really anything against Eibach, I just love jap quality stuff that's all

Congrats on making your first post in the proper section. You're off to a good start

As for that size its pretty weak. I hope you haven't paid for them yet. Our vehicles are quite large and the wheels you've picked a pretty small wheel. If you want to run a conservative setup that requires no fender mods or stretched tires etc. I would recommend a 18x8 at least or 18x8.5 with a offset between 30-40 and run a 245/40R18

Would a 18x8.5 rim with offset of 48 work just as well?

a 48 offset is pretty high but technically would work but would look very sunken in. I still recommend between 30-40

Hi everyone my g35 sedan was recently totaled and i have always wanted to build a GS and plan to pick one up soon, i am very familiar with fitment and stance and i just had a couple questions to familiarize myself with what a GS is capable of fitment wise.
I plan to run 19s on my GS and i was wondering how wide you can get with a roll and a decent pull front and rear, i plan to run negative camber and stretched tires.
What coilovers would you guys recommend to get slammed and any recommended camber and toe kits?
i know these questions may have been answered many times before but i just wanna get to know what i can do with a GS before i buy one.
Really would appreciate the help! haha

Aerry, i would start a new thread and introduce yourself and what you have planned...

Most if not all your questions will be answered in the thread...

Then why not search and spend time reading? You're right - the info is already out there. Making your first post a request for people to spoon feed you info that's already out there may not be the smartest play.

Also - what you're asking is a very relative question. Everyone has their favorite coilover setup. Everyone's opinion of "a decent pull" is varied. I suggest you search, find someone who has the exact setup you want and use their setup as your starting point. Trust me - it's all been done before and you likely won't be the first to do anything on these cars. So finding the setup you want shouldn't be too difficult. Try searching www.rimtuck.com

Thanks for the words of advice guys, so after some reading I came up with some sizes.
Do you guys think I can pull off
19x9.5 +10 215/35 front
19x10.5 +5 235/35 rear ?

Those sizes will fit just fine with some good fender work and camber.

Will my tires rub if I have no offset on my 20x9 and 20x10 lowered on coilovers???

Rub on what? Do you mean 0 offset? What's your tire size front and rear?
