Default HELP....anyone running 20x9's up front on a lowered 2nd gen.GS?

I need to know if anyone running 9" wide rims on the front of their lowered GS is having any rubbing issues? Also how low is your car? I plan on doing coilovers and drop it down a bit more than Eibachs, and need to know if I am gonna have issues.i will be running a 245/35 tire in the front.Need info asap! TIA

Hey trance,

I don't have my car lowered but I do have 245/35 on my front 8.5 and I rub when I turn the wheel and reverse....as for MrSypher he has the same problem and his is lowered w/coilovers....and you know he's low!!! I think you might have some problems.....but there maybe a solution to getting away w/it...check out the link below of Synergy's car...hope this helps....and contact MrSypher about his rims...maybe he can give some better input. Hope this helps!!!https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...5&pagenumber=2

Mine is dropped pretty low(no gap at all), im running 9" wide rims with 255 tires. I get a little bit of rub on the plastic liner when turning extremely sharp, other than that its all good. If I had 245's on there I probably wouldnt rub at all. I did have to do some trimming of the liner and one metal tab on the fender well to get it to this point, but nothing major!
