according to some experts here, a 285x25x20 or a 275x30x20 tire will fit without mods and rubbing, even with a df210-sized drop. (i had the same question.)

Default wheels and lowering

I was wondering if you may be able to give me some insight on my wheel and lowering situation? I recently purchased a set of 22s my concern is with the rear wheel it is a 9.5 asanti sent it at a +32 offset which is wrong and they are redoing it right now i can only ride a 255/30/22 without rubbing they re trelling me that the new offset is going to be a +37 and this will allow me to ride a 285/25/22 with no problem, so my next ? is do think that lowering the car on tein high tech springs will work, they only drop the car .6 on an inch in the rear. in case your wondring the front is a 8.5 not sure what offset ,but i have a 245/30/22 with no issues

Yes you can make this work with out fender mods.But you need more info then just 20 x 10.5 post all the specs of the rim and we can help outDF will give you a good drop and negative camber to allow for more room. I had the DF springs on my car for close to 8 mos.

Really dont know the specs, just saw vossen sells 20x10.5 and my cousin was thinking about getting a pair but not sure if they would fit without any fender mods. His car is a DD so he wont have a huge drop, i think he wants like a 1 inch drop.

^ best to hit up Vossen then. They will know what needs to be done since they are very familiar with the GS. Post back if you have more questions after talking to them.

Default help me decide and/or comments

Going to get new 20's and have narrowed my choices down to three designs. I'm going to get chrome with a Tanabe NF210 drop. Don't want to spend big bucks on 3 piece wheels so these are 1 piece. Kind of concerned about the work it takes to clean too. I'm in Hawaii and chrome takes a beating here. I am into the 5 spoke look and the color of my car is quartz shadow metallic. What do you guys think? Any suggestions would be appreciated.1 ADR, 2 Driv, 3 Euromax

i have a doubt about tire wear on my gs 430. I have 275/30r20 tires on the rear. The wheels in the back have 2inch lips. My concern is my right rear tire has been worn out. Only right rear tire. my left tire is perfectly fine. I had an alignment done on the car in April and my tires had plenty tread. I went to the Goodyear tech where i had the alignment done previously and ask him what was wrong with the alignment. Apparently, the alignment is not the problem because the alignment was perfect. Just in the ranges of what factory states. Does anyone know what could be the problem???? or has this happen to anyone?
