Default 20x9.5 +10 / 20x10.5 +5 or +10 on Air/Rear Camber arms?

Hello,

I'm a relatively new member & I just purchased a 07 GS350 two weekends ago. I did SOME research these past days and I have a decent thought of this.. Honestly, I'm on the fence as to if it'll work.

I plan on buying Air Rex / Accuair in the coming weeks along with SPC Front Adjustment Ball Joints, and Rear Camber Arms from Megan. I'm ok with maxing out the camber adjustments.

There's one thing I'm not set on, and it's the fitment of the wheel.
I want to go aggressive but stick to stock body lines, (no flares, pulling, just complete shaving of the fenders, front & rear.) The car is not my daily, so I won't have to worry about damage too much.

Since a lot of 3GS owners are more knowledgeable.. I ask you a pretty simple question.
Will 20x9.5 +10 / 20x10.5 +5 or +10 with 225/35/20 front 245/35/20 rear work/tuck when air'd out, shaved fenders, and Front & Rear Camber adjustments?

Sounds to me like you have a great game plan on air you can have more poke and don t necessarily have to have the rim tuck under the fender cause you can ride high enough to avoid tearing **** up, I'm static so I need to just tuck cause I ride so low my rim edge when driving will compress until tucked yet I don t rub, your specs are slightly more aggressive than mine so my fenders in the front are shaved and hammered flat ill still hit if not careful but they seem to hold up and flex slightly cause the inside is smooth. Throw wheels and suspension together and see how much body work you ll have to do might need just a shave and slight pull. My tires are 225/30-20x9.5 +17and. 245/30-20x10.5+26but the front to be honest makes my butthole pucker!

Knshro13, what arms are you running?
How much space did you have towards the fender? Enough to run +5? After reading your thread on RCA's last night, looks like I have another item to consider buying.

lkapimp216, thanks for the input. I've definitely been reading up on your posts..

damn that looks good. rear lip kit is sick.

im running about -4.5degrees of camber for the rear to tuck the wheels on shaved stock body.

I have about 5mm left where the gap is the biggest. so no i dont think i can run another 5mm spacer unless i add negative camber.

Short and simple, NO

20x9.5 12 offset, 20x10.6 6 offset
UAS on Megan coilovers, camber and toe arms
Aired up it has 5 degrees camber
A lot of pulling and body work to make these fit...

My current set up:
Fronts 19x9.5 +5 (forgot tires size, 225/235/35/19) -3.5 camber
Rears 19x10 -8 235/35/19 -6.2 camber

arms are
Megan camber arms
Fig engineer toe arms

I only shaved and rolled my fenders, i dont think you really need to do crazy body work. Im running static and due to sitting flush i have about 2-4mm between my fender, so im hitting my lip of my rims slightly alittle.

You should be fine.

Btw, clean ride mike & sticky
