35offset is fine if you are not going to go LOW. I had 35offset wheels with 245 tires and when I slammed my car it rubbed a good bit. If you dont want to go low then 35offset is fine

if you have 2nd Gen GS then I would stay away from 255 tires, espcecially with that offset. I had 255s at first, and when I changed to 245s a lot of the rubbing went away (this is at stock height).

I would recommend a 245 tire.

A 255/35/20 will rub when you make sharp turns such as backing out of a parking space, if this bothers you do a 245/35/20 on the front and the 255/35/20 on the rear.

yeah damnit, what a weekend

but D helped a lot already, thanks. yes 35 is fine if you get the ride tires. say so3 245, you shouldn't rub at all. if you use 255, most likely you will rub a bit.

for the record, i have 32 offset in the front with 245 perelli, and i rub a little bit. so there you go my reference

oh sorry if i confuse you more. 32 is even more aggressive than 35, so if i rub a little with 32 245, 35 245 can only be better. now 35 255, i am not sure, you might rub just like mine. i rub less than 10% of the time

They will fit. When it comes to those types of wheels, they only make 2 or three offsets, so they call th3 34offset FWD and 20offset RWD dont worry about it.
