Default Help

Just picked up my 2011 GS350 AWD
Im looking for a set up of 19x9.5 all around tires will be 255/40/19 with stock height no fender rolling
any member with this set up or at least 19x9.5 in the front not lower on any spring, no fender roll with any rubbing issue?
will my set up runs into any issue with the front being too aggressive and will rub?
One of the wheel vendor on here told me 19x9.5 in the front will not work unless fender rolledl or camber needed.
offset will be +35 to 40
Please help

I cant image you having any issues with that set up. at stock height "fitment" is the last thing to worry about.

Default New here...

Okay, so just picked up an 08 GS AWD just ordered Ksports coilovers and was just about to order the vossen CV2. Given that it's awd I know I'm not supposed to run staggered to avoid diff issues. I would like to have the wheels go concave all the way around so i need to know what offset I would need to run and what wheel width. Any help peeps I've been through all 107 pages and i think I might have it but I Just want to be clear thanks guys

hello fellow 3gs owners!
finally ordered everything for my 07 gs450h... nf210's, 9.5 and 10.5x20 +38 kränze bazreias!
now the only thing im not sure is dimensions of tyres. i want to avoid any fender work... but since the nf will drop the hybrid lower than the other models im not quite ready to get tires... i like a stretch but i wont put 215 on the front :P
what would you guys recommend? 235/30 and 245/30 R20 ?

Staggered has been fine for me (07 AWD) for about 60k miles. Just make sure all the tire's overall diameters match. I've seen a couple 3GS online with 10.5 all around but looks like fender mods are needed. good luck!

I don't personally have that setup, but from what I know from this site and from other CL members posts, those specs should work fine for you.
