Okay I have a set of Asanti wheels that I just picked up. They are 20x9 +25 all around. I drive a lot so I want something I can rotate. Anyway I wanted to know what size tire I should run on these? I'm not lowering the car any keeping it stock ride height for now. In the future I might put some f-sport springs on it. I'm trying not to do any fender mods. But after reading lots of these posts I'm scared I might have to. Any advise I would really appreciate it.
The car is an 08 gs350 rwd.

thanks for the feedback. with a 245/30/20 tire size i wouldn't have to shave or roll anything right? and would it be possible to run a 235/35/20 on there?

NP

The front being a 20x9 + 25 offset could be aggressive

Normally on your body GS we would use a 20x9 +38 offset.

so yes i recommend rolling the fenders 100%

as for the tire sizes a 245/30/20 has a overall diameter of 25.8"

a 235/35/20 has a overall diameter of 26.5" which means you will rub the inner liner being that your offset is aggressive.

Are you sure that the offset is correct??

Thanks for the help.
I just got the wheels and test fit it with out the tires to see if I would clear the front calipers. Sadly they touch so I'm going to have to run like a 5mm spacer which means that I would have to get longer studs. And by adding the spacer to the front make the offset go from +25 to +20. So I'm going to have to roll the fenders for sure now. And I'm a little scared because I heard of people rolling them and it left little dimples in the fender. I don't want that.

If your able to return the rims to get the correct rim do it! Most if not all tire shops will not touch your car if it has spacers installed.

You must have bought used wheels.
Since you're so concerned about fitment you should have got new wheels that fit the way you want. My car is lowered with staggered wheels and there is no rubbing and I did not need to roll the fenders.

Those look like Work wheels. You have 3 piece wheels on your wife's ride? My wife would bang those up so bad.

Specs on the vsxx? Looks good

Gonna guess your front offset is under 20 and the rear is above 30? I've been look at offsets for months now.
