1. What car is this for?

2. What are you willing to do to make them fit?

3. Do a search, find out what fits and calculate fitment.

roll for sure, depending on tire size, probably have to pull the fender too...

2FiVE8

yea you caught me v8 aristo.. hahha oh sorry this is for a second gen gs and the tire size is 235/35 front and 245/35 rears

V8_Aristo

I knew it.....

Anyways, you need to roll the fronts and shave the rear completely flat (maybe a tad pull).

good eye P ...LOL.

You do realize they don't clear BBK. Just wanted to point that out.

2FiVE8

im not planning on doing a bbk so ill be fine, so if i have to pull out the fender in the rear does that mean repainting it too...or is it possible to pull it without damaging the paint? also should i think about maybe lookin for a set of rims with better offsets...what do you guys think

V8_Aristo

Pulling the fenders is a little tricky and most of time it requires repaint to get it absolutely perfect, but I've seen fender pull before that didn't need to be repainted. If you want to stay on the safe side and just shave the fenders, get something in a 9 and 10 with mid 20s offset. Those AME Shallens on the same site will have that result.

2FiVE8

when you say shave the fenders flat do you mean like cutting them off on the inside??? hmm the more im thinkin about it maybe i am better off lookin for either 19x8.5 and 9.5 with like low 20s offsets or like you said the ame rims that have a higher offset...i like the amount of lip but i would hate to have rubbing issues, most body shops can roll fenders right??

V8_Aristo

Before you go any further, you also have think of how low you are going to lower your car. The lower you go, the more camber the car will create. And with more camber, the more your car will need a lower offset to keep it flush with the body.

Yes, you can either cut off or roll in the inner lips on the fender wells. And a very experienced wheel shop will know more about rolling fenders than a bodyshop.

2FiVE8

thanks i will seek out a good wheel shop..also i would like to have the car kinda slammed so there would be no gap, so does that change anything??

V8_Aristo

Nope you're good.

Hi 2FiVE8:

I'm running WEDS Kranze ERM's in 19x8.5 front and 19x10 rears. I'm running Nitto 245x35x19 front and 275x30x19 rears. I lowered the car 1.5 inches running Tein CS coilovers, Daizen sways and TRD strut brace. No problem with rubbing unless I have 4 people in the car and hit a big bump. Even then it rarely happens. Mind you, I'm not slammed as some of the cars, but I am a little older and don't want to keep repairing bumpers.

What are your offsets and did you mod the fenders ?
