Fenders are only rolled and the tire sizes are 225/40/18 in front and 245/40/18 in rear.

I'm getting rear wheels with the same specs as those (not the same wheels) and wanted to ask if you are running any rear camber and how much did the springs drop the rear ? I wanted to see if I could get by without rolling the fenders and run a 285 tire.

I don't believe I am running neg. Last time i had an alignment was a month ago and that was with is300 rims with 225/50's on them so an extra 1.5 inch has been added with the 19's. Getting another alignment soon just to make sure.

The Tanabe's lowered about an inch in the rear, i could barely put my finger in between the tire and the finder, so I was rubbing like hell with the smallest of bumps . Bat rolled the rear fenders and no more rubbing.
Stock hight I bet you could get away with it, but I don't think so with the Tanabe's or lower.

Thanks, I have access to a fender roller if I need it but I'm still at stock height. I will probably get the Tanabe's since my struts are still good, I'm not trying to go super low but the front will definitely need to come down.

Default Help please?

Hi.
I'm kind of new to this forum..but I was wondering if someone could help me. I have a 92 SC300, and I was wondering if the rims from an 05 GS300 would fit my car..
The person i'm buying from thinks the bolt pattern is 5x115..but I'm pretty sure he's wrong because I researched and the 05 GS300 bolt pattern is 5x114.
These are 17 inch rims..supposedly.
Anyone?
Idk how to add pictures but hopefully this works:

i have a set of the many spoke gs350 wheels on the 2nd gen gs, so 3rd gen GS should still be 5x114

I'm thinking of getting new rims but going more aggressive this time..

I was wondering, will F 18x9.5 +22 and R 18x10.5 +22 fit with just a roll? If not how about 9.5 + 12 and 10.5 +15 i'm pretty sure i will need a pull for that one.

the 18x10.5+22 will need a slight pull. I just took of my Works that were 18x9.5+19 and 18x10.5+19 with 235/40 and 255/40. All four corners were rolled and I had like a 5mm pull in the rear and only had credit card clearance in the rear. But there was no rubbing or anything

I don't think a roll will be enough. I ran 18 x 10.5 et 25 with 275/35's on aggressively cut fenders lowered to no finger gap, no rubbing whatsoever. I think if I ran a et 22, I would have ran into rubbing issues. All these numbers are on paper though, I had enough natural camber to clear the fenders. Only had the wheels for 2 - 3 months, never had the chance to get it aligned.

Yes but you may have to have extra camber or have to roll the Edge of the fender lip back a little Front and rear. Aslso your tire size plays a major factor. Id say you can go as wide as a 255 40 and probably not roll the fender in the back but up front you will want a 225-245 40 just for tractions sake you may have ot roll the fender regardless. Do you have coilovers?
