i'm looking at Dunlop SP Sport Maxx at 245/40/19...
OR
at 245/35/19

i understand the 40 might have some rubbing issues? might have to foll fenders... but my car isn't lowered so i shouldn't expect it (confirm that). with offset at +38?

or do i need to go with 35s to avoid rolling of fenders and avoid rubbing.

98 GS4, not lowered, 8.5 front, 9.5 rear, +38 offset

note, i'm in flushing queens heh

 

Since it isn't dropped, it should not rub the fender liner. If you plan to drop it, then there is a possibility of rubbing. Just look at Sputnick's thread about needing a baseball bat on this forum.

 

hahah yeah i read that, i was like "whatttt" i don't wanna resort to that unless i have to 100%

baseball bat to lexus cars... i can understand honda's maybe? but a lexus?

 

Hey JT, did you read henry's(rominl) thread in the tire section? He has tons of info on tire selection for the GS. I'm running the fat setup and I did get rubbing issues on the left rear. Then again it could be the fact that i was dropped to no finger gaps. I have since raised it to 1 finger gap. I also have 38 offsets in the rear and I'm running 275/35/19's. You should be fine.

Also you have to fix your sig. Final dimensions cannot exceed 450x100 pixels.

 

Do you plan on dropping the car?

 

naa... even if i do lower... it won't be this year... maybe not even next year and by then i'll have to change tires anyway. so, i would say no

 

So, fat set-up it is.

 

so 245/40?

 

Yes that is a fat set-up. The tires are more meaty. Member GSLEX has 19's staggered fat setup.
