Question about tire size for my GS
I have a 99 GS with the new GS350 18x8 wheels. My car is lowered using the tein Flex kit, but not slammed or tucked. I am currently using 235 45's with about 2 fingers clearance in the rear and 1 in front... No issues with rubbing at all. I was wondering though, if I could use a 225 50 tire?? Eagle F1 all season tires...
Thanks,
Rock

Yes, I want a taller tire, since my car is lowered.... Plus I am being offered a good deal on this size... I just want to insure I won't rub anywhere inside the wheel well.. Especially up front. I have H&R 25mm spacers in the rear.

If you have OEM GS300 16" wheels/tires, then you are talking about 0.7 inch additional overall diameter (or +2.61%) with 225/50/18. It may not be a problem or very little rub if there is up front.
