3GS wheel thread
Need opinion before I put my springs on. I have the NF210 springs ready to install. The current specs on the front are overspec (35's). What are my odds on rubbing? I see some are having issues, some are not. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Current Specs: Asanti AF146
Front 20x8.5 ET +38 245 / 35/ 20 Pirelli Tires

Even with round tires you will eventually experience rubbing after the springs settle.
Your wheel offsets are conservative so the rubbing may not be continuous...like on sharp turns and uneven surfaces.
I didn't want rubbing under any circumstances so thats whi I went with the 245-30 tire.

A lot depends on the tire. Is it square blocked or round shaped edges? I think Pirelli's are kinda square.

Wheel fitment question:
So i got a set of 19x10 +35 for my AWD. I test fitted the front and it seems to be hitting the inside arm. How big of a spacer would i need to clear the fronts? will i have any issues with the rears? Also, the wheels came with new federal tires but super stretch with 225/35/19. I plan on being pretty low, will these work or i still need to get wider wheels? I plan on rolling the front fenders and shaving the rears on BC racing coilovers. Any input would be great fitment gurus, thanks!

I wish i had gotten a picture of the Black 3GS with 4GS F sport gunmetal rims we sold last month. It looked REAL good.
