i had similar problem with stem location and just didn't bother. i have no tpms and my dash light came on. i bought that toyota tech program from amazon (found on another thread) and deleted the code so no more dash light. now i just check the tire pressure every time i fill up gas.

Depends what your width and offset is.

It depends what tire as some come wider than others but you shouldn't have a problem with those offsets. If you do end up rubbing on big dips going fast you can take off the fender liner or shave the rear fenders. In the end, you shouldn't have a tough time with that set-up at all.

Be careful and make sure you heat up the fender and take it slow. People have reported that the paint may chip from rolling the rear fenders. Most people on here shave the rears and roll the fronts. Post pics when you're done though!

I have a guy in town that rolled my other two cars really well (my Integra and is300). I'll be having him do the job on my gs430

The GS should be easier for him then the integra. The thickness of the metal on the GS to the integra is pretty noticeable. I wish I had rolled my rears tho. I want to pull it 5-7mm but im pretty sure it's going to wrinkle the metal.

Go back a few pages... Wanted to tag you but didnt know how, wanted to say thanks for helping me with fitment questions. Managed to fit those offsets (19x9.5/10.5 +22) WITHOUT camber arms.

Cant wait to see those g25s on your ride. Keep us updated!

Nice, glad you made it work without camber arms. I wonder how it looks without the arms.

Well I finally had a chance to put some wheels on. I got some Vossen VC7's in Matte Graphite Machined. 20x9 and 20x10.5. I used 245/30/20 and 285/30/20 for tires. I originally had 275's but it gave me the stretched tire look which I don't like. So I went with 285's and they work much better. No issues so far, but I'm not dropped yet. I will be dropping it on some Tanabe NF springs. So hopefully there is no issues.
