Looking at 19" with 9.5 front +39 and 10.5 rear with +27. Will this work and do I need to mess with the fenders to fit it. Not lowered now but will be.
Alternative is 8.0 front +35 and 9.5 +39 for the rear.

I know this is a wheel thread but I haven't been able to get an answer anywhere else and there seems to be a good amount of activity/feedback on this thread. But anyway.... I noticed there is a spot for a sport mode light in my 07 GS350. Idk how to get it to turn on, I only know it's there because I saw the spot for it when I was cleaning the dash and the sun was at just the right angle that it showed all the dashlight moldings/spots or whatever. So I'm wondering if that's actually a possibility or if the sportiest thing I can do is simply put it in ECT Power and turn of Traction Control 😓😭😕 thanks in advance

Like this! I have settled on some new wheels but I'm struggling to see if the fitments will work.

That alternative set up is too mild for me in my opinion, but your non-alternative set up should be fine with the right tire specs and shaved rear just to be on the safe side, just use your own judgement once you put your wheels and tires on because it all varies when you lower it and use the right tire specs. In short, yes your 19x9.5 +39 & 19x10.5+27 will fit.

Your second fitment is too "normal" in my opinion lol.

Thanks man. A lot of ppl liked the look. I hated the sporty look as soon as I put it on. Sad to say.. The wheels are off to a new home already.
Your first fitment of 19x9.5/10.5 will work much better if you're going with the flush look. I would recommend rear fenders to be shaved and run 255/35/19 or 265/30/19. Depending on your front size to match the stretch. I would do 235/35/19 and 265/30/19.

I am just concerned the 10.5 rears +27 is too aggressive but looking at your pics with +22 it suggest ok. I want it pretty flush but don't want to mess with the camber. How much shaving is needed on the rear. Also want shocks/springs are you on? Trying to locate stuff in the UK for the GS is tough, just not a car that's anywhere near as popular as it is in the US.

20x9 Squared
Hopefully I can help and share the experience of my setup to anyone that looking to run 20x9 all around..
Im running on Concept One CS-55 Executive Edition wheels 20x9 all around. Tires are 245-35-20 Goodyear Eagle Sport A/S.. there is no stretch at all. The wheels rub just a lil bit when I make a full clock turns and no rubbing on bumps.
The ride quality of 20" wheels on my car is amazing, almost as smooth as stock 17 wheels. I did not lower my car(for now)
