Default About to purchase my 20's, have offset q's for a GS

I'm about to order my 20" wheels and need some advice on fitment for a 98 gs300. I'm not looking for the standard fitment for the GS though. I want to use a semi-agressive fitment, but nothing too extreme that will need crazy stretched tires and crazy neg camber. I was thinking for the 10" wide wheel, to use a plus 30mm offset, but not sure about the fronts. (I do plan on rolling my fenders, but not pulling.


I'm planning on going 20X8.5 and 20X10. Since these wheels are made to order, I can pretty much get any offset I want.

So, does anyone have any pics and specs of their own wheel fitment?

THanks.

Peter

Are you saying you are willing to do stretched tires and neg camber, just not a crazy amount? Or is cutting/rolling the most you want to do?

BTW - I don't think rolling is enough to fit 20x10 +30 with a "normal" tire setup.

Henry...where u at?

I would recommend 20x8.5 +35 & 20x10 +35 if u're willing to trim or roll ur fenderwells.
But don't run fat tires like the Bridgestones or Nittos. U can run Falken or Dunlop with front 245 & rear 285.

What wheels do you want (that plays a large part)

I'm getting ccw sp500s. After seeing BUSTNs 10s plus 27, I'm pretty sure the 30mm offset will work, since he had 15mm clearance on stock fenders, and I'm willing to run some neg camber, and a mild stretch, but really want to run a 275. I own a fender roller and just don't want to "pull" them, just roll.

SInce I'm pretty much set on the rear, I'm trying to figure out the front 8.5s

Maybe you can buy my Weds Kranze LXZ . I have them at great price.

The offsets are 20x8.5 +38 and 20x10 +35
