20x9 +32 offset / 20x11 +37. Are you kidding? Good luck bro. If you plan on lowering your car, you will rub like crazy! That setup is way too aggressive for a daily driver.

I agree, this setup is aggressive from all angles. Wheel width and offset. I am running a 10" with a 42offset I rub occasionally (when I have the rear passenger side really loaded). You would have to do ALOT of fender modding (possibly flare) to fit this combo.

I know that member SoCalSC4 was researching a 11" fittiment for his car, perhaps he can chime in and offser some insight/advice.

My new wheel setup in the rear is a 20x10" +39 offset and I had to shave the inside of the fender so i wouldn't rub the side of my new tires. 20x11 +37 will make the wheel stick out pretty far so you would need to do a body flare to keep it looking right. I would avoid this setup....

Well....if you are staying at stock height (no drop)...you should be able to fit it....albeit this setup will stick out past the fenders. You will probably rub when driving it cuz the stock suspension is bouncy.

not a chance, you will rub like hell

9 and 11 will fit on the GS, but not with that offset, that's way too aggressive

Yeah I have the Nitto 555 which has a very square sidewall design, also I only have an occasional rub if I have someone of considerable size back there, like 200lbs plus, which is not often. I think I have rubbed 1-3times thats about it.

interesting, my nero is very sq too. maybe you can just go ahead and shave down the fender tab a little bit? that's what i did just to be safe, even though i never rubbed

Yeah I guess, I have yet to do any fender rolling front or rear, I did remove black fender guard in the front though. I must have pulled that thing down 4 times in 2 weeks!

gotta learn how to drive man actually in the front, at around the 10 oclock and 1 oclock position you should see two pretty big tab. i push them all the way up, that helps a lot

Fronts you can probably get away with a heat gun and bending those tabs up like rominl suggested.
Rear, trim those fenders.

I took those things off about a week after I lowered the car! The thing that got me was passengers, I had my driveway entry speeds, steering wheel angles, etc down to a science when driving alone. When carrying a passenger, I would just do the same thing, and.......well you know the rest lol

I mean that black metal strip that runs along the edge of the fender. Not the tabs. The metal strip is secured by screws, I simply removed them. Thing is, you have to be much more careful because if you grap the fender you can actually pull it down.

I take driveway entrances at somewhere between 0.00 and 0.05mph
