I am purchasing these rims http://www.ebay.com/itm/271163963113...84.m1438.l2649 to go on my black 07 gs350. Will I need to do any mods to put them on? I am going to use a 225 35 20 tire.

 

Also how am I supposed to know if the rim will clear the big brake calipers in the front or not?

 

Nobody knows this? c'mon

 

Do your homework

 

According to the specs everything looks fine. Offsets etc... You shouldn't have any issues with the calipers. Those tires should't rub. To be safe you may consider a 225/30/20. Just my opinion I'm know wheel expert.

 

Why not get a staggered setup? IMO those wheels would probably not look good in the setup you want.

 

I have been doing my homework but I cannot find out. Is it the offset that would tell me if the wheels can fit? Also staggered setup seems like to much work with rolling and fender work blah blah blah. I just want to put wheels on a drive.

 

if you get the correct offset, staggered is fine

also fyi, your tire size is incorrect.

 

you didnt even tell us if your on coils, lowering springs, etc.

your getting aftermarket wheels. 20's at that, most likely your gonna be needing fender work unless the offsets really conservative.

my suggestion, go to the IS fitment threads, see an particular stance fitment you like and work your way from there.

Wheel fitment, tire size, etc. is a science, and once you get that down, you'll know how the particular width, offset, etc. change the stance

 

^ did you click the link? its a 20x8.5 wheel with a 35mm offset. it will be fine unless hes crazy low. i ran the same setup and i was tucking tires.

 

Ya no coilovers or anything fancy over here. Everything stock. I have had several sets of 20's in the past on my other cars. Just bought them and put them on never had a problem. But the front caliper on these cars is what worried me so I thought I would chime in for some input on this.

 

So there is no chance that these rims will touch the caliper then? I just want to make sure before I buy them.

 

use this wheel calculator to determine the correct wheel/tire size you want

search the forums but im almost postive 35mm works with the bigger brakes. 38mm works on the 300 because it has smaller brakes iirc.

 

I run staggered AWD, 10.5 rear width, and with stock suspension I do not rub, in the rear. These GS's just look a lot better with wider rear wheels. Skinny wheels in the back just doesnt look right unless your on air suspension and have it slammed to the ground.

Also these wheels although the price is good but, there kinda bland
