Question Will 20x9 fit?

i heard only 20x8.5 will only fit. Or maybe i heard wrong? I also i heard that i had to get 255/35/20 as my tire size? Can someone verify what will fit my '99 GS300? Thanks . .

as long as they r the right offset, u can go 20x9 all the way around, plus u can 245/35/20 tires all the way around if u want too, as long as the wheels r the right offset, i think +45, but check that offset with gs4will to make sure , but the 20x9 and 245/35/20 can and have been done.

good luck

The one good thing about using a 8.5" tire on a 245 or 255 is that the tire will actually protect the inside of the rim, because it will protrude past the inner lip. If you run a 9" rim on a 245 tire, the rim will be flush with the tire on the front and back side, which will yield you less bumb protection, especially if your lowered!

Im running 20x9 with 245's and its fine. You actually get a little more curb rash protection. Its not that much difference in an 8.5. 255 will make your tire more square.
