anyway im running a 20x10.5 +26.5 with245/30-20 & -3.5 degress camber and can t shave any more so your going to need almost 1/2 inch of pull on the rear, the front will need to be shaved or rolled depending how high you ride will determine how much you ll rub my front is shaved and the left over metal hammered over and flattened on the inside and fenders had body work and repainted. and Im running a 20x9.5 +17 w/225/30-20 the tire sizes are good that you listed. you riding 19s will grant you the ability to go a few more mm aggressive I would guess under 5 tho so you may be close but front and rear will definitely need work heres my fronts in progress

What's the impact on ride quality?
new to the forum. bought an '09 GS 350 last year.
i would like to lower it and put on some 20s, but i'm worried how much this affects the ride quality. (part of the reason i bought this car was because of how smooth these car's drive.)
any thoughts?
what springs should i go with (f-sport, eibach, etc.)? is there a noticeable difference in ride quality depending on which springs you go with?
finally, do 3 piece forged wheels offer a smoother ride?

3 piece wheels don't ride smoother, they can decrease stopping distance and increase acceleration if they are lighter but there are 1 piece wheels just as light.
Multi piece wheels main attraction is they provide that look of quality and pop unmatched by 1 piece wheels.

Just purchased some tires and rims and totally confused myself. Before I get them put on the rim 20x9 +38 offset and 20x10.5 +45 offset. What would look best on a 2011 GS350. The tires I got are 245/30 and 285/25. Now looking through the topic I see eveything from 245/30, 275/30......245/35, 275/30. I got some tanabe NF210 springs so it will have that mild drop. Which of the tire would look best on the car. I know thye won't have much of a side wall so I'm looking for the best rear wheel tire size that will look good as welll as have some side wall. What looks better a 275/30 or a 285/25, also the wife drives the cars so it has to be somewhat practical for her.

Mike thanks for answering, I went through all the post and still missed your sizes. What do you recomend for the rear? Rigt now I purchased the 285/25/20 Which is better that or the 275/30? Which wuld be a good matching tire for the 245/30 front?

285/25/20 will work well and a better match to 245/30/20 front

2011 GS350 RWD. I just put them on this morning, I'll install the NF210s later today or tomorrow.
20x9+38, 20x10.5+45 Niche 2pc touring II 245/30/20 F 285/25/20 R. I was going to go with Vossen but I like chrome more than the stainless look.

Can someone please recommend a setup for my '07 GS350 AWD? I want to go with a 19" setup and don't want any problems with rubbing or having to change the springs. So basically, I want to keep the car stock but add 19" wheels and tires.
