Default 20x9.5 +39 non staggerred???

I got a buddy that is selling some wheels to me pretty cheap. He got them for an LS but never put them on.

Anyways, they are lexion 201 20"

20x9.5 +39 are the specs for all 4 wheels.

How would they fit with a 2001 gs430 on df210/kyb gr2's?


Thanks in advance!

depends on tire sizes. You'd need a stretch in the front, probably 225 or so, in the rear i'd go 255 with a shave and/or minor pull.

i guess it depends what you want it to look like. i reckon you could go 235 fronts as i have 9" +27 with 235/35 no probs and yours are 6mm less aggressive overall (taking into account your extra width but higher offset). you may have to roll a bit & remove the black plastic trim.

rear yeah 255 would be okay, bit less stretch than up front. may not even have to remove trim or roll.

245s will fit on the fronts, no roll or trim required. You won't need anything on the rears done either.

I don't think you would need to go with 255/35 in the rear. A 275/30 should work fine with that wheel width and offset in the back. I would run a 235 or 225 up front to be safe. You may run into some problems with a 245/35 if you hit a hard dip while turning.

The only other thing is that the wheels may look a bit funny because your front wheels will be aggressive but the rears will not.

Depends on what you consider way off. It should be about 2.5MPH slower at 60.

9.5 +39 wont be aggressive up front.. itll just be 'okay' at high ride height and not much camber.
rear will be sunk haha

sunk to the point where you should run a 15mm spacer, bringing your effective offset to +24.


i think some of you guys are missing the fact that he's on DFs. The rear will definitely require a shave if you're running 20x9.5 +39 with a 15mm spacer dropped almost an inch and a half. The front will be fine, but to make it look right i'd suggest a 10mm spacer.

ek9max: You should definitely consider running spacers in the rear for these set of wheels to look "right" on your car.

I would try to go for 245/35/20.. might be a mild stretch since 245's fit best on 9" wheel.

Stick with the same tire size front and rear. Use spacers for the rear to push it out.. and rotate your tires!!!
