I recently just bought some Varrstoen Es2 19x9.5 +22/19x10.5 +22 to put on my 99 Gs300 that has the Ls400 big brake upgrade. I know ill need to run spacers in the front to clear the caliper. They come with tires already on them 225/35 & 235/45.I just have lowering springs on at the moment(will do coil overs next).My question is will i need to roll/pull my fenders any if at all to run them on my current set up?

I'm in a similar situation. I purchased Bremmer Kraft BR07 19x9.5 +35 all around for my 2GS w/ LS BBK. I was already running spacers in the front because I was on stock wheels. I did a test fit today and it looks like I will still need 1 of the 2 spacers that I have up front in order to clear the caliper. I have two questions:
1) Would it be wise to take the second spacer from the front and move it to the rear to give a balanced stance? If so, will I also need to get extended wheel studs for the rear?
2) Will I need any fender modifications front or rear? I'm currently on stock ride height, but Megan coils are next to come.

Opinions and knowledge requested!
I got a 1998 gs300 black on black, with stock suspension. I'm planning on ordering Lumari Kya 19 inch staggered wheels (8 in front, 9.5 in rear) with Nitto Invo 245/35/19 tires in the front and 275/30/19 in the rear. Would i need some wheel spacers to get an aggresive look im going for? I like the look of the rear wheels to be flush with the fender, maybe just a little bit of the wheel poking out. For an aggresive look without camber. Going to lower it about 1 or 1.5 inch soon afterword with coilovers. (Haven't decided on brand yet) in everyone's opinion would I get a good function and form look? Without the need to roll/shave fenders? Planning on painting the car soon as well.
Thanks in advanced!

I was looking to get a very similar setup of te37 reps in 18x9.5+40 all around
im on stock suspension and brakes on my 98
you think thatd clear the front brakes/strut without a spacer??
i couldnt find anything exactly to these specs fitting on google
