Robert K- There are guys on here running similar offsets, but with 20s. I'm sure with the 19s it'll allow some good wiggle room as far as clearance. I did notice you want to run very little camber, so the wheel sizes you chose seem to be a good choice given those tire sizes.

Lots of great set ups in this thread!

High 30s will be hard to do without adding a lot of camber and a low drop. I have a daily driver with frequent little travelers. I couldn't clear rear +34s with 285s on an Eibach-like drop and -2.2 camber.

Edit: For reference, here are old pics of the +34 before swapping them out for +45s.

Did you try a 275 or 265 tire on the rear? Or were you set on running a 285 tire?

GTFO with that small tire talk!

J/K! I want to run a 285 and it seems on a 10.5 wide wheel a +40 to +45 is the golden offset without camber and/or fender issues.

Here's my application to the "Fat Tire Nation"

Wheels are Nutek Bavaria BC5 Matte Black 8.5"x20" +40 front, 10"x20" +45 rear. Tires Toyo Proxes 4 Plus 245/35/20 & 295/30/20. Hats of to Lance (1cleanG) for hooking me up w/ Kris at GOTO racing, he bent over backwards to get the offsets exactly as I wanted and kept me well informed throughout the transaction. Definitely recommend them to anyone looking for G parts. Lance & Kris are co-owners GOTO Racing Online

Fronts are about 7mm from the inner fender edge (I had previous wheels spaced to be almost flush but they'd hit the under liner too often so I wanted them back a bit more. The rears are 2mm from the inside fender edge, exactly what I wanted.
Amazing how well the G feels planted w/ the wider tires and traction is no longer an issue, G launches rock solid.
The wheels were recently released from Nutek and a few Lexus IS have them but I think I'm the first G. At any rate, couldn't be happier
1pc cast wheels | Concave wheels | Bavaria Wheels
