Default Tire size please

Hi guys i have a 2007 GS350 and i have new rims that are 20x9 and 20x10 offset 32. My fenders are cut to remove some rubbing issues. Also i perfer low profile tires and not have them stretched.

Thanks for all your help in advance.

Just to make sure though. Your rears are also +32 offset? If so, this will be where your rubbing problems will be if you don't want to stretch.

245/30 for the front should be OK. Are you lowered? How much?

Ooo i 4got to say that am lowered on tanabe df210 which is 1.6 inches in the back (not quite sure) and 2 inches in front. Also my offset is +32 all around. Wait so your saying even if the fenders r cut it wont help the rubbing issue ?

Thanks for the help so far Neo.

I was waiting for someone with more 3GS experience to chime in. I am more familiar with the 2GS specs. With the 2GS, with no cut fenders, a 20x10 with +40 will already rub slightly with 275/30. I am not sure with the 3GS although the specs seem to be similar from what I read.

Obviously, there are other members running more aggressive offsets than you. Some have had to do some work to get them to fit, but it is possible.

My take on it is, with trimmed fenders, you should be OK. How much of the fender did you cut?

As for tire size, I'd stay with either 245/35 + 275/30 or 245/30 + 275/25, not a combo of both. Your 245/30 + 275/30 will cause the rear diameter to be bigger than the front by about 1".

245/30 and 275/30 are the best combo. If you use the 275/25 it will be shorter, then the rear will be shorter then the front.
