Default 94' Gs300 -Questions and opinions

I will be dropping my Gs300 on Tanabe DF210's (about 2") in about 2-3 weeks and I am looking to get some Sportmax 502's or 006. Looking on their site they only offer the lip sizes and no offsets. from what im looking at they offer

18x7.5 with 2.25" lip (estimated +42)
18x8.5 with 2" lip (estimated +35)
18x9.5 with 3.5" lip (estimated +35)

Can anyone tell me my ideal tire/rim setup?

006


502

I'd do the 006's in that set-up.

ok, i was checking out 1010tires.com and it recommended i stay within 3% if OEM specs.

my stock specs are 215/60/16
I'm planning on running 245/40/18, and 225/40/18
the wheels specs are 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 with a +35 offset.


DO you think these will fit on a stock GS300 (1994) without modifications?
