wheels to agressive for air??
Guys, I need your help! I finished my air suspension today, and I test fitted the weds. Even with the fender rolled to the max, the weds will not just tuck , especially the front . The front rims doesnt look even close to clearing the front fenders. Do I need have a camber kit? do I need to pull the fender? will shaving the fenders help? The rims just seem to aggressive too tuck, any suggestions would be great!
here are the specs.....
19x9 +18 2.5in lip
19x10.5 +28 3.75-4" lip
235/35/19
245/35/19

depending on the car.......
but for now id trim off the rolled lip and slightly pull, or if you dont feel comfortable doing that add negative camber. those are my suggestions.
is this for an ES? b/c those specs wouldnt really be an issue on an LS?
edit: i didnt think a GS would need that much work....

Lip size doesn't matter when listing specs.
I would drop one tire size down in front and keep rolling the fenders until it slightly pulls out like 2-3mm. You should be fine

ya i suggest tire size and camber...camber is what makes all the difference. you have to think of the geometry of the suspension and lip of the fender compared to the angle of the tire side wall for clearance.

cant say i know much about the gs, but man, i was always under the impression that all lexus, except es can take a decent amount of wheel. i mean, my es is rocking 19*9+22. all others should be able to take some decent offsets.

LOL! you guys are blowing this way out of proportion. man, all you need to do is cut that fender trim and thats it, no pull. run a 245-35 or 235-35 done, period. the front will be fine with 225-35.
i had 19x9 +24 & 19x10 +20 then added a 5mm spacer all around to bring it +19 & +15. just let the tire roll the front fender for you, eventually it will roll it enough to clear it. the rear just cut the fender tab.
here is my rear (my old car) it was rolled flat (i do not recommend, cut instead)

put the front tires on the rear and get some 215/35's!
and then camber as needed!

i think i agree with most people i think your tires are too fatty.. if you had a stretch to it, it would make it easier for it to fit inside the fender and probably a bit of camber as well.. good luck
