Mr. aristo- Can you please post pics of your setup. That sounds like it looks pretty good. I have some SSR's with similar specs. :)

Here ya go... This is a really good friend of mine, front fenders are not rolled at all. Rear's are rolled with a VERY SLIGHT pull. The rear pull is pretty much imperceptible unless you know what GS fenders look like stock. Anyway, this should help you a lot. Your outside of your fronts would be 9mm "less flush" (further inward). The outside of your rears would be 21mm "less flush". Here's the link:

BTW, there are more pics on pages 2 and 3. Page 3 probably has the best pics.

Low disk, mid idsk, high disk??? Just size and offset's don't mean much without knowing this.

Re: gs offset question?

MrAristo's wheels are almost touching the inner fenders but not quite...fitment is really nice.

Aggresively mild.... :D Thats an oxymoron...lol

Re: gs offset question?

I think when I helped Dave out his are a +20 front and rear, but different disk. I'll have to check, but only a fender roll and very mild pull is required..easy stuff.

Ummm size and offset (and tire size, obviously) are all that matter in terms of fender fitment. Disk has nothing to do with fender fitment, disk will determine brake clearence and lip size, that's all.

Hahaha, did you read his initial post?

So going on this if it's a +28 low disk in front it will hit the brake caliper and NOT FIT unless you use a spacer and do some fender work. It's extremely relative. This is what I do every day for customers, so trust me..I know the ins and outs of wheel fitment. He didn't ask for total fender fitment. I said what I did because he might need spacers and working the fenders, but how much work will depend on the disk size. Do you understand what I'm saying?

Re: gs offset question?

my GS is 2nd gen, i dont really know if the 1st and second are the same, but my wheel in the front is +24 low disk and it doesnt need a spacer. it only needs a spacer if i use the toyota brake pads. the wheel has about 2-3 mm clearance from the caliper to the wheel. but it looks better with the spacer :)

What kind of spoke design does it have though?

Re: gs offset question?

It's of course rolled though right? Because the +20's needed rolled, but the brakes cleared because of the spoke design. That's why I asked.

Yes, I read the first post, that was made several months ago.

I understand what your saying, but not to step on your toes your assuming too much. Like spoke design for example, or that every manufacter's disk's are the same. I know more about wheel fitment than most... especially when "shop owners" (*cough* Richie * cough*) Ask someone how I got wheels to fit under fenders he wasn't able to... haha that was great.

I'm not trying to jump on a high horse here, but my initial post here was correct. Obviously I'm assuming the disk will clear the calipers. All I was saying is that disk doesn't have an effect on offset.

Understood. The calipers was what i was worried about more. It's all relative..so it's all good.
