GS408

Hi,

I have just one more question to ask. I have decided to go with 20 x 8.5 with the offset in the 30's all around on my GS. Can someone tell me the proper tire size I should buy for these. I just want the standard setup for 20's.

Any help will be appreciated.

You can either run 245/35/20 or 255/35/20. Those are the most common sizes I have seen.
If you do a search on the tires sizes you can defintely find more info on the topic.

If your going to go that big, I'd go with 245 30 20 all around.

go with 245/35/20 if you still want some sidewall. 245/30 is the right diameter but that's rubber band

and careful on the offset, if it's low 30s then that's aggressive for the front

thanks..... so 235/35/20 would not be a good choice?

it's not a bad choice, you can run that no problem. you just got a tad less sidewall. and i think it will give you a bit more clearance to avoid rubbing too

hey rom. i got a question what do you think about 19x8 front and 19x9 back with 32 offset all around on a 98 ls? would that work and what is your opinion on how it would look? didnt want to start a new thread, hope its ok

hahhaa changing topic fast man ok first of all i am NOT 100% expert on LS (i am better off on gs, is, and sc430), but the size you provided here, i think they should be no problem for the ls400. i don't think they are on the aggressive side, and i think they should sit relatively good with the fender

i hope this helps, and i hope i am right too, lol

thanks man they are in the forum for sale and the guy has a pic of them on a ls but i always see offsets of like 45 for my car and 32 seemed kind of low. i was trying to figure out if he did any mods

Just one more question.......

here is the actual specs of the rims i will be getting...

20x8.5, 5x114.3 bolt pattern, and 34mm offset all around

and if i buy 245/35/20 tires....

would this work on my GS without any fender mods or rubbing?



thanks in advance

offset of 45? you have to factor in the width as well. with offset 45 i thnk you are talking about 10 or so in the back.

and gs408 (you are in san jose?), i think with 245/35/20, you will be fine. but still close. overall diameter is larger so you might high the top of the wheel well when hitting dip (normal) and also rub when you make full lock turns. that's about it. you can bend the tabs at 11 and 2 oclock position as well just to be safe

Sha400,

The only mods I needed to do was a fender roll in the rear. I am pretty low all around...tokico blues suck ***!!!

The tire size I was running also contributed to the rubbing. An ideal tire size for these wheels on an LS400 would be 225 40 19 / 245 40 19, front / rear, respectively.

yes rominl i am in san jose.

but i dont quite understand what you said here:
"you can bend the tabs at 11 and 2 oclock position as well just to be safe"

but its ok....

make sure you come to our EOS4 meet, read the norcal forum for details. it's on 10/2!!!!!!!!!

if we talk about the driver side wheel well, you can see there are two tabs in the fender well. one at 11 and one at 2oclock position. if you bend them up then you get more clearance
