Black Saphire beauty to be exact.

After way too much reading on what will fit and what won't fit I decided I'm just going to make it work one way or another.
Wheels are STR 607 20x9 front and 20x10.5 rear.
+35 offset all around(not by choice). The rear was supposed to be +40 which would have fit PERFECTLY, but I got screwed into +35.
Tires are 245/35 front and 275/30 rear.
A VERY mild drop on f-sport springs which I don't think have settled 100%. I'd say I lost 1/2" all around so far.

Front only had minor rubbing on the fender liner which was easily fixed with some heat. The rear required some minor shaving and I still have a bit more grinding to do. Nothing crazy, but the +40 offset in the rear probably wouldn't have required any mods. The tires are slightly stretched which I'm not a fan of, but it's not that bad. Rears could have used a 285, but that would have required more fender work.

You won't hurt my feelings if you don't like it, but your honesty is appreciated. I'm into this whole thing for $1500 so it didn't break the bank.

Looks pretty good.

Like I say, you can't go wrong with a clean lookin' 5 spoke

looks good, how much are they? for the rims itself

I'm a big fan of 5 spokes and I originally fell in love with the Vossen CV3's, although they're a bit more expensive.

The rims were $840 shipped.

I'm really kicking myself for accepting the +35 instead of the +40 rears. That 5mm would have made a huge difference. A 20x10.5 with a +40 offset would fit like a glove in the back of this car.

I see, not a bad price, is like $210 each, I'm thinking about the Vossen CV4 or CV5 at the moment, waiting for danielle to give me a price quote for those 2, already ordered tires from tirerack

danielle posted the pictures for CV3, CV4, & CV5 here https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-my-3gs-2.html

looks good. love the 5 spoke... always have

I've never been a fan of staggered setups, but I really like the look on these cars. The extra meat on the back looks awesome.

I had to shave about half of the lip off the rear fenders to clear the rear tires which eliminated the screw holes for the trim piece. I really wanted to keep that trim piece, but clearing the 20x10.5 +35 was more important.

I'm updating this because this information seemed to be VERY hard to find when I was searching for what would fit and what modifications were necessary.

A 20x10.5 275/30 with a +40 offset would probably fit with no modifications.

20x10.5 275/30 with +35 offset will require shaving the rear inner fender lip about 5mm.

Looks good, might look better if its a bit lower.

Schmexus

I agree. I'm still thinking about different springs. I didn't get the drop or ride that I was looking for.

how does it ride with rear passengers any rubbing at all?

Schmexus

Not sure. My kid is the only one who rides back there and he doesn't weigh much. I noticed it has rubbed the insulation up in the wheel well though.

How have the springs settled after a few more months on them ? I'm gonna be running the exact set up here soon.
