Thinking about getting some 20" wheels with the specs below..Will they fit on a 01' Lexus GS 430 without any major modifications???

The car has yet to be lowered... thinking about going with the L-tuned setup once the wheels are installed

Wheel Specs -
Front - 20"X8.5 38+Et
Rear 20"X10.5 45+Et

Tire Specs -
front -245/35/20
rear - 275/30/20



Thanks for the advice and comments!!

I think there wont be any wheel gap left with that setup so if you're gonna lower it , there will be rubbing , but then again lets wait for more experianced members to chime in

I think someone like Henry can speak more definitively but think you would be better off with a 245/30-20 in front and also have some concern about the 10.5 width for the rear. Seems to be a bit wide perhaps 10 would be better in back

front is fine, no problem

the back, you sure you want to use 275 on 10.5? that's very narrow. either way, it's very close, i still think you might need to shave the fender a bit. i recommend 285 on 10.5, and with that for sure you need to shave the rear fender a bit.

245/35/20 and 275/30/20 are ok. overall diameters are overspec but that's "normal"

Hey Guys thanks for the feedback....I really don't want to have to do any major adjustments in order to get these wheels to fit.....Geez I'm stuck...Would 19's staggered be better?
