Default Wheel fitment question.

Hey guys,

I have a quick question.

My current wheels are:
19x9 +24
19x10 +29

How sunk would these be on a 3GS RWD?

Sunk? They're fairly agressive I don't think they'll have the concave look at all. Are you going for an agressive or conservative look? Plan on doing fender mods.

I'm running 20X8.5 et 38 and 20X10 et 45. Typical offset for 3Gen GS's. Braver soles can work with more agressive settings.

Planning on going as aggressive as possible with fender rolling and a slight pull probably.

Thanks for the feedback. Just doing some research

Hmm I'm running these wheels on a TL with 5mm spacers in the rear. Figured the 3GS could run more aggressive offsets!

Not sure. Planning on air but we'll see. Gotta buy a GS first

Im running a 20x10 +40 with 275/30/20 falken FK452 and it works out pretty good without and fender mods. I notice rubs with a full car going up driveways.

I tried 20x10 +25 on the same tire....no good!

with a little fender work, you should be fine. running 20x10.5 +25 in the rear, with a little poke. +29 should be pretty much perfect...

What's ur rear camber at?

I was always under the impression that the 3GS could run some super aggressive wheels. Like negative offset aggressive!

I had a set of Maya's from a previous car (350Z) with the same offset. I tried to put them on my GS350 and didn't like the look. Then again, I'm not into having my rims/tires sticking out, or "aggressive" as some would put it. I think the rear poked out about an inch. At the time the car was not lowered, so with it being lowered, the camber would probably pull the top in a bit.

Still, I would think you would need to do more though, like ryan said, a little fender work and I think you would be ok.

3gs doesn't allow you to go very aggressive without modification. there are 2 3gs that i know of that are running aggressive offsets (i think around +11, but maybe single digit) but they both required a ton of work. my camber is not too bad. got 30k out of my last set of tires, at the same height that i am now. i think a 10mm spacer will bring your fronts out to where you probably want them.

This is me right now with a 19x10 +24


Will go for this look, maybe more aggressive but ABSOLUTELY no poke. Hate that.

Mike, yes.

just sell these rims and get something new IMO these rims wont go with a GS. Just ask the guys over at Fizz. Dont they have a white color GS lowered with rims?

My GS is for sale if you really want a GS. All you need is rims

I'm not planning on keeping these wheels. I'm just curious about offset. How much you asking?

And don't worry about it... if/when I get a GS, it won't be stock.
