Hi guys, new here. I'm looking to fit 19x9.5 +15 19x11 +15 on my 2008 GS350. I plan on rolling fenders but don't want to shave. I'm all stock but plan on lowering as well. Will these fit?
Tein flex coilovers
Flattened fenders/ fully cut quarters shaved flat & cut holes in shock towers for a arm clearance. The a arm was hitting really bad before that.
19x9.5 +22 225/35r19
19x10.5 +22 235/35r19
Rear stretch

My car: 2007 GS350 AWD. Black Onyx Pearl. 185k miles. Stock Suspension, no mods.
My GS has been my reliable luxury car for the past 4 years. I've put on over 30k miles on it without having a single issue besides regular maintenance.
I recently scored a great deal on a set of RC350 Fsport 19s with 235/40/19s on them and I have them installed. Im in the market for some new tires, and am strongly considering 235 45 19. I want to go up to 45 for a) Comfort B) Wheel well gap (currently 2 finger gap on rears.
Im here for your wisdom: 235 45 19 feasible on stock suspension? Will I need to lower the car/ roll fenders?
I don't see myself spending money to add suspension mods because my GS has a lot of miles and is cosmetically imperfect, plus I'm hoping to upgrade to the 4GS soon. I plan on still keeping this car around, or perhaps pass it on to family.

I came into my Blue Onyx Pearl AWD 3GS 2K miles ago, just about 2 months now and I already want a wheel upgrade. I have been looking around for a while and those 19” RC wheels were one of my top picks. I want the best fitment possible but i also have a dirt driveway, so stock suspension is a must as well. I’d love to see how it came out especially if you upgraded to 45s. LMK and feel free to send some pics of the car as well! I’ll add a quick flick of mine because I know others in the forums like to see the new members.
Did you need to modify the car to install those very big wheels?

Pros: custom made to order, hub centric, made in Japan
Cons: approx 8-10 weeks waiting period for manufacturing and shipping, wheel is expensive
Brief description maybe of why you chose it: Work SC2 is a multi spoke wheel with a polished face and anodized black lip. Design is unique and classy. There are no rubbing issues at all.
I have a stock 2010 GS300. I am
not interested in modifying the actual car, only in installing the widest possible rear wheels for the highest amount of possible rear grip.
Here's my current summer setup. Fronts are 19s 8.5j et45 on 225/40 tires with a 20mm spacer to clear the front calipers. Rears are 19s 9.5j et35 on 255/35 tires no spacer. Stretch is little to no. Car is lowered on yellow speed racing coilovers. No fender work has been done yet, as it only slightly rubs the fronts on big bumps. Been running this setup for the past 2 summers with no issues.
I have recently ordered a set of Work LS406 wheels. Fronts are 9j et32. Rears are 10j et32. I have been trying to figure out if I can run the same tire setup with little to no fender work. Fender work will be done if needed but I am looking at some advice so I can do it before the new wheels arrive, so I am prepared to just put them on and start rolling.
Any advice from the more experienced people is welcome! Will post pics once I get them on.
