Default Am I going to rub?

I have searched and read and read and read but I'm more confused as ever! I just ordered the tamale df210s for my gs460 and my cv3s and pirellis came in last week! Front offset is +38 and rear +45 my question is will my fronts rub running 245/35 20 on that 9 inch wheel? I'm confused after reading all these pages!

I am running nearly the same offset and tires on the front.... I am rubbing on left turn lock out. Im going to heat up that section of the well and push it in a bit. The problem is that the pirelli tire is very square from what im told. A different tire might do a bit better (falken?) Hope this helps.

If you grind down the weld and heat form the fender liner I am sure you can avoid rubbing. Also brand of tires matter, like falken 452 are rounded so they fit easier.

yep, depending on offset, mine is +40 with 275/30 and althought it doesnt rub most of the time, on deep pavement dips, or with 2 rear seat passengers, the rears do rub. gonna have to roll the fenders in the rear.
