19" Wheel & Tire offset question on 08 GS350
 

Hello, I am new to the forum.
I have question about 19" wheel on my 08 GS350.
I was thinking about getting 19X8.5 for the front and 19X9.5 for the rear with tire size 245/35/19 & 275/30/19.
My car isn't lowered. Will it rub?
The offset is 32 and 35 for rear.

Please give me your opinion. Thanks.

off topic...your name is familiar...but did you used to drive an acura tl? with the inspire rear spoiler? if yes (or no), welcome to club luxus! :D

yeah... that's me..
I can't believe there's somebody still remember my name from other forum.. :eek2:
I still have TL.. :cool:

i knew it! :D i alway connect your name with the inspire spoiler you had! :D in fact, i still got pics of your TL somewhere on my computer! LOL! if i recall correctly, you had the lowenhart BR5 wheels on your TL? i got rid of my TL last october in a trade in for my new ride.


to answer your question...personally i would go with a higher offset if you plan on lowering your GS in the future. to be on the safe side, check the link below and see if it fits (note the comments given):

Thanks for the reply.
I have Lowentart LD1 on my TL. ;)

This will by my wife's car and she doesn't want that lowered. :(

aha! i knew it was lowenhart something or other! :D

what do you mean by that lowered? :confused: you plan to lower a little bit only? if yes, i'd strongly recommend proper wheel fitment (correct offset & tire size).

let the wife drive the TL...and you drive the GS...that way, you have a new mod project to work on! :D (big OK smiley would come really handy right about now! LOL!)

my goodness, i also thought the name is familiar..... nice to see you here too man, after so many years

i think both front and rear are marginal, the tires might be the problem when you lower it

I have the same set up and lowered

Hey Guys,
I have somewhat the same set up but my wheels are 20" high offset
they rub a lot now on every dips, speed bumps, railroads
anything I can do people say to lower it with new camberkits
I'm just afraid if I lower it it will rub more I have
