Yes currently I am having issues with the driver's side rear tire because the fuel tank is there. I have my fenders rolled but still have a bit of rubbing on bumps. I will get my alignment done and get my camber adjusted and hope it should be alright.
With all the love here for aftermarket wheels, who here has some new condition original 16-18 F-Sport wheels they want to part with? I'd really like to have the 9 inch wheels for up front so I can rotate.
Would these RCF wheels fit our cars? They are 19x9 and 19x10
There is a member on here who has these wheels on their GS if you want to see what they look like. He posted in my thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...els-500-a.html
I went with the RC F Sport (not RCF) wheels myself - excuse the dirt from the *****ty weather in the pic:
Wanted to get some input as far as how this setup would work with my '14 AWD. Planning on doing coilovers at the same time and rear camber correction if needed. I want to be sure I'm within the 1% overall diameter of the wheels/tires between front and rear due to having AWD.
Front Rim: 20x8.5, +35 offset
Rear Rim: 20x10.5, +45 offset
Front Tire (which size?): 245/30, 245/35, or 255/30 (looks like the 245/35 puts me at 1.1% difference of the rears)
Rear Tire: 275/30/20
If I go with 245/35 in the front and 285/30 in the rear, that puts me at a .4% difference.
I have tried them all trial and error. Without a fender roll, 245/35/20 +35 on a 9 or 8.5 is the correct for the front. 255 will rub regardless of the wheel.
For the back 275/30/20 +45 on a 10 or 10.5 is correct and the largest you can go. 285's will rub. Note: 10.5 on back will give you a bit of a lip on your wheel. If you dont like that look you will need to size down the wheel to a 10. 9.5 is OK too, but if your wheels are concave you will lose some of the look. If not it won't matter.
I am running 9's and 10.5's on my 13. 245/35/20 and 275/30's.

Thanks a ton JoelC. I saw another user here that was running a 285/30 with no rubbing, so I was hoping to go with that due to having an AWD and would prefer to be within .4% tolerance than 1.1% for overall diameter difference between front and rear. Planning on doing coilovers at the same time with rear camber adjustment most likely, and will probably have a shop roll the fenders as needed....just gotta make sure the shop doesn't use the "baseball bat method" when rolling fenders! ;0
I will get the car lowered on tanabe springs..should I be clear of any rubbing? What tire sizes should I go with? Thanks.
Assuming the front wheel size depending on the design has enough clearance on the front brake caliper, you should be fine. Also note, you want to run something like 235/35/20 with 275/30/20. 245 front will work to but you'd be really close to the 1% overall diameter difference from front to rear.

not necessarily true. If you're worried about the larger size in the rear and the "stress", you can at least have different offsets but keep the same wheel and tire size.

The wheels are Vorsteiner VFF-101. I see most people have +40 and +42. Does +38 and +45 make a big difference? I just don't want to stretch the tires or not have them fully cover the wheel.

Oh perfect, you'll be fine with the Vorsteiner wheels with brake clearance and fender clearance.
