Hey guys! Thinking of buying a set off a G35 with the offset front and rear +20 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. If I put the "fat-tire" set up 245/40/19 and 275/35/19, with my L-Tune S/S setup, will I experience rubbing or it will be aggressive but will look nice?

Thanks!

Not an expert on the 2nd gen GS but I believe if you roll your fenders it would work...You might also have to skip the fat tire setup and get the typical 35 fr and 30 rr sidewals to avoid any rubbing issues..Try contacting Rominl, he's an expert at this...

no way it won't work, not even close.

leave those g35 coupe wheels for the sc430, that's all i can say

I don't see why they wouldn't work.
they will fit.

question is, will they rub?? I don't know how low your L-Tune S/S setup is, but I think the size and offsets are aggressive and will look good on your GS.

if you really want the wheels, just get a more narrow tire, like 235 f and 255 r.




coming soon for me on a 2nd gen GS are: 19x9+18 19x10+15

Henry is correct

Take it from your trusted wheel vendor, IT WON'T WORK. It would be easier to just order a set of wheels suited for your car. We have specials on Status, MRR, ect.........

all I read is that they wont work, or that Henry is right.

please elaborate on the reasons y'all don't think this will work.

Sure Gato, no problem.
With wheels of 8.5 and 9.5" widths and 20mm offsets, along with 235/35/19 and 275/30/19 will stick out the fenders of the vehicle. Even with negetive camber, there is no way that this combination of wheel and tire will clear the factory fenders.

Now if your talking about rolling and flaring the fenders, that may change things, other wise it won't work.

I dont agree, sorry.

these are the specs he is trying to run:

fronts- 19x8.5+20 (245/40/19)
rears- 19x9.5+20 ( 275/35/19)

and for example here is mr. aristo's set up as follows. with absolute no fender mods and he is not rubbing.

fronts - 19x9 +24 (245/35-19)
rears - 19x10 +29 (275/30-19)

if you do the math, they turn out to be relativley the same, except the tire size. all he has to do is run a 35 series instead of a 40 series.

mr aristo has absolutely no fender mods done? please confirm. i just find it way too hard to believe, unless

1) he's stock height
2) he is on air bag and drive high, and very bad camber and slammed
3) he has extremely bad camber to clear, which makes tire wear very bad

for the record, i have 8.5 +36 front and 10.5 +41 rear. that translates to 9 +42 and 10 +35. the front i can go more aggressive, but with something equivalent to 9 +38, i already rubbed the edge and had to bent tabs and rolled fender to clear. for the rear, right now i already shaved EVERYTHING to the edge completely to BARELY clear.

in my case i maxed out my camber so my car is drivable with least amount of tire wear possible. i don't make my car just look good, i want to make sure it drives reasonable too. if today i dont' care about the drive, i can put very bad negative camber and i am pretty darn sure i can fit those offsets too

so, what do you say now? more info on mr aristo's car and how it's setup, driven, alignment spec, etc? for sure i would like to hear it, and i would love to know what it has that's different from my setup, which i know personally is right by the edge already and how much work i had to put in to get it to work

if I'm correct, you do roll 20's. so you are not comparing apples to apples on clearing issues.

here is a link to mr aristo set up. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ghlight=ARISTO


also, BklynJay, is asking if running a fat tire set up will cause rubbing?? I say YES. thats why he should run a 35 series front and 30 rear.

they will be aggressive and look good.

BUSTN

20x8.5 +20 225/35r20 and 20x10+27 245/35- with about 15mm before the tire gets to the rear quarter.This car is just lowered and no extra neg. camber has been added.Further, I did trim the rear lip and took off the plastic arch.It has not rubbed yet...I would like to go more aggresive in the future and lower.

20s won't have that much of a difference when the wheels are past the fender already, that's my point. it's still apple to apple. don't make 20s like they are that different from 19s

looking at mr aristo's car, seeing how stick out those wheels are and how low his car is, personally i really can't find myself believing that he's not rubbing driving normally and no fender mods. sometimes when something is just off it's off. we have several wheel experts here (don't even count me if you don't, i can care less), they all know what they are talking about. imho there is a reason why they all say it's not going to work, at least not without a lot of work.

BUSTN, you are running stretch tires, that makes huge difference when dealing with clearance. that's most likely why you are clearing no problem.

The bottom line is that they will work. he would just have to reconsider his tire specs.

I believe there is a huge diff, when talking 20 vs 19 on a gs.

in any event, you decide to get aftermarket wheels and want them looking good, there is simply some fender modding involved to make them look right.
after all, Toyota engineered the car for factory spec, nothing less, nothing more.

other than performance, it is also why we change the stance of the car, wether it be with air, springs, or coilovers.

and I don't think mr. aristos wheels are sticking out.
