You should be fine with no fender mods. Offset are very conservative.

Sorry couldn't find anything on these sizes,Maybe I missed it.
Will this size give me any fitment issues? What tire size can i go with without any rubbing on Megan EZs 99 Lexus GS300? Thanks!

just popped 2 used tires within a week, running 18x9.5 +36 with 245/40/18, used to run 235/40/18 with no problems but when i got wider tires the drivers rear popped twice, is it because the tire is too fat? i drive a slammed gs300 on tein flex coilovers btw.

Looking for tire size suggestions for a mild stretch on 19x9.5" front +22 and 19x10.5" rear +22. Fenders are already rolled slightly and running Megan LPs so can adjust height to fine tune.
