my bad...its for a 2001 GS300....

It will fit with if you roll your front fenders, but it won't look proportionate. The front will look aggressive and be flush with the fender and the rear will look sucken in. Also, depending on how low you're going to go, the front wheels might stick out a tad (if you are not going really low). I would go with 225/35 for the front and 265/30 or 275/30 in the rear.

cool man...so im only gonna have a problem with the front?? i might just use spacers to push out the back if its gonna look sucked in...and also...the front has a 3" lip and the back has a 5" lips...do those matter??

V8_Aristo

Lip size doesn't really matter just as long as you stay stock brakes. Big brake kits needs more room, so that might come into play in the future.

Can you share with us what kind of rims are they? 19x10 with ET40 and have 5" of lips is kind of unusual, that means half of the wheel is out and less than half is inside.

i dunno if its 5" but maybe approx...thats what i was told..btw..the pic is just a stock pic...

Some wheel designs have a curved or angled face, this gives the look of a bigger lip with out going to a bigger wheel or lower offsets.

Here's an example.

well....to update my thread...i bit the bullet and bought dubs...the size of my rims are 20x8.5 offset +35 for the front and 20x10 offset +35 for the back...a buddy is hooking me up with pirelli rosso for a really dirt cheap price...its an offer i cannot refuse...but the problem is the tire size...one pair is 245/40/20 so i guess that is for the front...and one pair is for the back which is 275/35/20....if i mount those tires up to my rims and install on my car...which is an 2001 GS300...would it fit and ride with not problems...my car is on stock suspension not lowered....any help would be appreciated....

V8_Aristo

If you install 20s with 245/35/20 (front) and 275/30/20 (rear), these specs are already 1 inch over sized and are considered the limit when it comes to tire sizing on a GS. It might be possible to put those wheels and tires on a GS, but not w/o problems.

what might the problems be...if its to shave/roll fenders i don't mind as long as it fits and rides fine..

V8_Aristo

I big problem might be when taking corners. Since the tires are over sized, it might start hitting and rubbing the fenders, fender liners and arpon. Imagine hitting a big dip on the freeway and the tire hitting something under the fender well causing it to just stop spinning, which is the same effect as locking your brakes. A wheel and tire won't hit these parts if it stays within specs, but running over size might.

so i guess 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 is the way to go then.....one last question....if i get those tires...would i still have to shave/roll fenders since im on stock suspension?? thanks again for ur help..

V8_Aristo

Yes, I think the biggest misconception about not lowering a car is that it give it more room not to rub. Actually, suspension will travel the way it's intended to travel, all the way up and all the down. Lowering a car just shortens the suspension travel, but are usually made with a stiffer spring to compensate.
