Shouldn't be a problem, just as long as you know there might be some fender rolling involved. I have a couple of friends w/ a 1GS looking to get into the +15 offset.

Maybe I should clarify. I know the rears will fit, however the fronts are what I'm worried about.

V8 Aristo: Thanks for your input.

This 1GS is running a 19x9 +25 in the front and it looks like it can come out a lot more.

Default Wheels Are Here

Alright, so I picked up the wheels a couple of weeks ago! I just got them back from the wheel shop (polished, zero curbs now)

My question this time is regarding tires. The came w/225-40-18's (f) and 265-35-18's (r) . I'm lowered on Tanabe's-which drop the car almost 2". I want to fill up the gap in the rear and in the fronts. I've been contemplating getting 245/40/18's in the front, however w/my agressive offset I'm not sure It'll work. Would I be better off going to 235/40/18 or something else?

Let's leave that alone for a bit....Onto the rears, would 275 be ok?

Any brand recommendations are greatly appreciated as well. I have search, but there is not too many people w/1GS that are running a 9" up front w/21 offset.

Thanks in advance! ANY HELP APPRECIATED
Here's what the front looks like. I know the picture is crappy but it's all I have here at work.

By the way it looks I think both 235 and 245 will fit, but 235 will be a safer bet if you are not going to make any modifications to the front fenders. The rears would be fine with either a 265 or 275.
