245s on 10.5s will strech theoretically.. but 245mms is about 10inches .. depends on the tire maker

both front and rear inner fenders got modded? even at driving height? i am surprised. 10" normal offset should fit in the rear easily, with 10.5 +35 i would expect no inner mods needed. lol i actually thought you'd go more aggressive front and rear

btw, when you said inner fender, you mean the fender flap right?

these numbers are straight from JB Design. Its definitely not as agreesive compared to a GS but looking around, if I do not roll the rears that is the range. If there are pulling or rolling front and rear, I can squeeze 10 and 11 with mid 20's offset.

i will keep you posted after i do a test fit next weekend.

hey Solo! its Emerson, did you pick up a LS430??? guess we are in the same boat now...you dont wanna run a 9F and 10R with +30 offset? you can look on the Fabulous page and look at their specs also and they are running a 245/35 and 285/30 looks like just trimming the fender though...

solo, if you are doing it anyway, i don't see why not shave the whole fender to gain that extra space. that could give the car a different stance than normal setup

yeah, those numbers are for shaved fenders. keep in mind its 20's too. if it was 19s, the offset can be more aggresive. i'll post what i find out.

i was rocking 20x9 +37 R disk with 245/35, and 20x10 +47 O disk with 275/30 Work Rezax II that i got from Alan at Work Wheels off his 430...sold those awhile back, now just saving for new wheels...the front had like 2mm clearance from the caliper...really close, rear had tons of room...think i couldve went with like a +37 with no fender mods for the rear since there was alot of stock camber already without adjusting anything

hope that helps a little bro

true, 20s probably will have less clearance. but still, 10.5 +35 that doesn't sound super aggressive (the kind of setup solo would run )

Do you guys know if 20 x 9 and 20 x 10 with ET35 will be ok for non-vip setup?

I already rolled my fenders and going to run 255/40/19 and 285/35/19 tires (PS2).

Thanks
