Default Wheel Fitment Question

99 GS400
Front 19x9 +24
Rear 19x10 +12

What would i have to do to make these bad boys fit?
I know the Fenders would have to be rolled for sure no doubt, but would i be able to get away with rolling fenders and stretching the hell outta the tires?
Sorry, i know these question been asked alot but i had to do it LOL....

Hey man,

12 on the rear - I don't think I would even try and mess with that. I have not seen anyone with that low an offset.

The front should fit with relatively minor modifications, the rear on the other hand is a different story.



I have a 19x10.5 30 offset with 265/30/19, which roughly translates to a 19x10 23 offset. As you can see from the pic above, I have about 10mm left if I shave the rest of the fenders.If you need more room, you can actually start messing around with the factory camber adjustment to get another 5mm or even more. In theory, you can actually fit a 19x10 with a 8 offset but I haven't seen it done. Also, a 245 or maybe a 255 will be necessary.

If it was my choice, I would try my hardest to make these offsets work, but that's just me. I guess I'm one of the few in here that are willing to go to the extreme.
