Offset Question (I've already tried searching) (Please help)
 

I've searched and read about 15-20 different threads AND the wheel fitment guide by Rominl, but I still have questions about offsets. I did search and hopefully I didn't miss anything or offend anyone for asking another offset question. I tried posting in the tire forum also and got one helpful post, so I thought I'd give it a shot over here also w/ all the GS experts.

I plan on getting staggered 19s in the future w/ fat setup (245/40/19-front and 275/35/19-rear). I see in the guide that a 19x8.5 +38 (front) and 19x9.5 +38 or 19x10 +44 (rear) is conservative.

My question is...is there a range of offsets that I can look for that will give me no rubbing issues w/ a fat setup? or I need to stick specifically to these recommendations. I don't plan on a bbk and would like most lip possible W/O fender mods. My '01 GS430 is mildly lowered on CS V.2 w/ 2 finger gap. Basically, any recommendation for a 19 staggered set up w/ lip action and fat setup (245/40- and 275/35-) w/o rubbing and fender mods. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Anybody out there w/ 19s and fat setup that can chime in??????

I used to have the fat setup with 19X8.5/10. 38 /45 offsets...no rubbing..you probably wouldnt want to go much more aggresive, especially in the front.

Thanks for your input. Just wondering, what tire sizes were you running and were you stretched?
