98 GS400 fitment questions
Sorry, but despite using the search function and looking through many thread I have a couple questions regarding fitment
So when I got new tires, the guy installing them dropped my wheel. Now that wheel doesn't hold air because he messed the chrome up pretty badly. They've yet to tell me what they're going to do to fix it for me if they're going to do anything at all. Regardless I've decided to get new wheels and sell mine if they fix that one since I don't like them too much anyway. Unfortunately I can't waste these brand new tires I just paid $600 for so they need to fit the wheels I buy.
I'm on a budget and I've decided on XXR 521s
Diameter: 20"
Front Width / Offset: 8.5" +32
Rear Width / Offset: 10.5" +30
** My current front tires are Hankook Ventus V12 Evos (not 2s) 225/35/20 and rears are 255/35/20, will these fit? I don't mind a slight stretch if so just nothing dangerous.
Keep in mind my car is currently on kyb g2 and eibach springs, so it's not that low, but I'd like to get rca's or coilovers in the near future (not slammed, just sitting a bit lower)
** Regarding front fitment; I have a Supra TT front brake kit (bought the car with it) and my current wheel width and offset is 8.5"/+20 and hardly clears. I have read about disk and that being the factor in it fitting, but I'm not quite sure which is why I ask you guys. The front fenders are rolled by the previous owner. Possibility I'll need wheel spacers?
**Regarding rear fitment; I'm at no/half finger gap between tire and fender with my springs. From my research I will need to remove the black thing shave my rear fender a bit down to where the screws go in. Is that all? From looking at the DIY it looks like something I could do. Or would it be wise to give it to a professional?
Any input would be appreciated. Just want everything to be right the first time around. Thanks in advance!

Just copy and paste what you've got in this thread and put it in the thread below. It's the wheel fitment thread for the second gen GS.
