Are the offsets correct? What's the wheel design like? You should have all kinds of clearance with a +30 since it's pushing the face farther away from the hub. I put my 20x10 +30 up front and I had plenty of clearance.

I forgot what my vendor told me the type of wheel design my wheels are. My wheels are from Rennen International, CSL 2 series. The spokes is kind of concave and flat. But exatacly i see alot of people on the forums running +30s up front or even less and never ran into this issue. Im just so annoyed after getting everything ready for the summer i run to a stupid issue like this.

I got in contact with a fellow member and was suggesting a 10mm wheel spacer up front, but i tried a 8mm and still did not clear. Also even tried my +20 up fronts and it sits on the hub, but still against the caliper and scrapes against the inside of my wheel. I hate doing the math and i believe i would be ok with a 12mm spacer?

So who's running 11 width on the rear?

I need to order a set for daily/aggressive fitment. I'm curious if a 11 +30 with 265/30/19 & -4 camber will clear the inner strut?

I'll start digging around...

I will be next year lol. Im more worried about clearing the fender more so than the strut since the +30 is fairly low for our cars

what is the lowest offset you can run on a 20x10 up front with a 235/35 tire, without rolling the fenders?

Decided to just rock Vossens as my wheels for now.. Vossen CVT in 19x8.5 / 19x10. I did not get the standard Lexus offsets, but rather the more aggressive offsets that were meant for the Nissan 350z/370z. Ran 235/35/19 / 265/30/19 Toyo T1 Sport tires.

I also switched out the Teins I had for some BC Racing coilovers.



I'm loving the look.

19x8.5 +15 / 19x10 +20

My rear is perfect right now, the front will go down about 8mm in height then it'll be perfect

Yeah it looks like spot on perfect fitment. No rubbing issues? No fender mods?

Thanks, for the info, I was thinking of going with wider rims, 9 front/10.5 rear with more conservative offsets and wider tires but your setup looks great with the slightly thinner rims and more aggressive offsets.

Thanks buddy, get those upper arms in and you'll be running more camber!

Yeah, the offsets I chose took some work to make it fit well, but nothing a good shop can't do. Glad my tech is very experienced with what sections to shave and not to shave.

Thanks for the positive feedback.. I'll get more photos up this wee/weekend !
