Default Offset Question, Yes I did Search ;)

Hello everyone,

I did a search but couldn't find anyone with the same offset going onto a 98 GS 300.

I was told this is the Supra Offset and am not sure how it will look on a GS.. so just wagering opinion/facts.

The front is +45 and the rear is +37. The wheels are 19x9 front and 19x10 rear.

I'm not looking for anything crazy.. just normal.

Thanks guys.

the rear will be very marginal. 19x10, usually people get around +42 (a bit aggressive) or +44 to be save. with +37, you will most likely have to cut of shave fender for sure.

the front i think might be ok. i know for HRE, getting 8.5 with +32 offset would work no problem (on the aggressive side), so if you push the extra 1/2" to the inside it would be +44 offset. but i am not sure if you are going to hit anything inside. worst of all, i guess, is when you turn the wheel to full lock and back up the car you will rub a bit

In other words, It won't look stupid, but don't go making any really tight turns or full circle attempts?



EDIT: I read your post wrong! Sorry Henry. I got what your saying now. Thanks!

With all the "if's", it's not worth my time.

Thanks for the help.
