time to play that game: will these wheels fit
Current set up: Lexus g spider 18x8.5 +45 all around. Front fenders are untouched (minus the blow dryer to the area where the tires rubs the fenders when 20's are on). My rear fenders are pulled and rolled a little bit and I am running a 25mm spacer. I would say I could have went with a 30mm spacer and been flush. My 20in Vossens are 10.5 +45 in the rear and i probably could run a 5mm spacer.
With all this said, would I be able to run a 19x9.5 +12 offset in the rear, for a flush look, no rubbing, and no negative camber?? Front I would have 19x9.5 +22, which I'm not even sure will fit/rub or not.
So 2 questions. Thanks CL for always being helpful.
Questions about tires will come later.
*Update* I plan on getting 19x9.5 +22 offset all around. Look at bottom of page for tire question.

What wouldn't work the rear or front? If its the rear I would just go +22 all around. I def don't wanna pull the rear fenders more.

According to the wheel calc..compared to vossen front wheels, new front wheels: inner clearance-10mm and outer position-extend an extra 22mm.. new rear wheels: inner clearance- 36mm more and outer position- extend 10mm more. So basically they both will be rubbing??

If they rub I might go with 18x9.5 all around..rear wheels extend 3mm more in the rear compared to my gspider +45 offset with 25mm spacer, so I think I would be flush there. Compared to the Vossen rears it would be 1mm less aggressive. Compared to Vossen front wheels these front wheels: inner clearance- 2mm more and outer position- extend 14mm more. That's the info I got...any suggestions? I would rather have 19s but if its not possible without more fender mods, its a no go.

This weekend I lowered my rear and checked how many millimeters i have to spare for a more aggressive set of wheels. From what I found is that I unfortunately will not be able to fit the +12 offset in the rear, 2mm too much according to my measurements, but I will be able to fit 19x9.5 +22 offset all around. If i pair that with 245/35/19 tires would i be rubbing? Right now im nowhere close to rubbing but im running IS tire set up 18x8.5 255/35/18.

My main objective is function then fitment although I want the best fitment possible. Will I be rubbing with 245/35/19?
Also I never realized I have to get new tpms programmed. I have 2 sets of wheels and didn't bother to get either of them programmed, but the light on the dash goes off and resets sometimes even though my stock wheels w stock tpms are about 100ft away locked in a tool shed. I'm not even sure if I should get tpms in the new wheels.

I'm not trying to track it or anything like that, I just don't want to have to baby it when I'm driving on these nyc roads like I had to with my 20" vossens. I want to be able to drive like I do with my 18"s..I want to be able to hit a bump without cringing and wondering if I bent the wheel. I also want more style/flashiness than the 18"s g spiders I currently have mounted.
