Default 20" rims offsets - will it fit?

Hello everyone,

I plan to pick up some 20" rims. Will these offset fit my 2008 GS350 with no rubbing or mods needed?

front wheels are 20x9.5 and back wheels are 20x10.5 with offsets of +38


Front

245/35-20 offsets +38

Rear

275/30-20 ofsets +38

Yea, you shouldnt have a problem. The problems begin to show when you start lowering it

Yes you can make those work. You will be flush in the rear more then the front but they will work. Are you going to lower the car?

Well the front tire is overspec and 20x9.5 is pretty aggressive in the front. Will need fender mods I'm sure.

^ agreed. those offsets are pretty aggressive.. you will need fender mods both front and back if you are lowering your car.

ideally you want something like 35mm-38mm offset for a 8.5" wide wheel up front and something along the lines of 43mm-45mm offset for a 10" wide wheel in the rear
