the rears sit flush almost 100% what would I need for a slightly stretched look? 245?

What about front?

I have 245.35.19's on my 19.9's up front. The tires look natural: by no means stretched.

with that size tire, I am pretty sure rolling will be sufficient - if not, a little more negative camber will take care of it without doing any more fender work...

What size tire should I run a 20x10 +35 if I do not want to mod the rear fenders?

Thanks

seemy original reply... it will most likely work with a rolled or trimmed fenderwell... if not, getting some negative camber dialed in will make it work...

Thanks Cody

Are the fenderwells larger or smaller on the GS400/300?

I may be getting a GS4 and be putting the 20x10r and 20x8.5f +35 on that car in the near future.

For Now I need to start researching shaving the fenderwell. If anybody wants to save me time, what would I need and how difficult/easy is it to shave fenders?
