If it ends up not beig such a great idea, we can chalk it up to experience and someone else can also learn from it. If it works, then great for you.

We can all only do what we are comfortable with. We can all talk about numbers until we are blue in the face but unless we have a car with the exact setup as you, with the tires and rims that you have, it will all be hypothetical, no matter how good the guess/calculation is. Everyone has tried to help and now it is down to you to decide yay or nay.

Good luck.

Im actually more worried about the clearence on the inside of the wheel well, due to I have no numbers or experience for the inside fitment. ie: I hope it wont rub on the shock perches over bumps etc..

Looking at the driver side rear wheel well, it would be the inner well area at the 9 o'clock position.

If your offset is already putting you close to the lip, I'd say on a 10 inch rim there would be atleast an inch of space on the inside remaining.


With my 11 inch rim maxed on the outside, I still have plenty of clearance on the inside.

In the end, there's always a sledgehammer.

Take some pics of the install and what mods were necessary. I think it would be a very useful thread in the future if it works out. Good luck buddy! I'm curious to see how it turns out...

Install is done. Piece of cake.

Shaved the fenders, still have a tad over 1/4" left of fender. The wheels and tires look bad ***. 295 is huge. Looking from the rear of the car the tires do not stick out from on the sides at all. Tires do not look like they are bulging at all. I actually do not like the stretched look. So if my tires are slightly buldging to an experienced eye then I am happy for that.

I had a good feeling when socal measured his tire and it matched the toyo specifications that by doing just the calculations of the specifications it would fit no problem. I will post pics when I get her all cleaned up this weekend.

Thanks for the support of the members who clearly supported me in this thread. Its a big day for GS's around the world!!!!! Hahahaha, well maybe just 295 big.
