Work Gnosis GS HS 201,
19x9 +20 all round
Bronze rim with brushed silver centres
245/35/19 tires

Car will be lowered about an inch all round with Ohlin's or Bilstien coilovers.

Will they fit with minimum mods. I only want to roll the fenders, no major work.

Fender tab will need removed in addition to the fender roll and you will need to be lowered more than an inch

Just curious as to Why the lowering more than an inch required? Is it for clearance of suspension components?

Excuse my ignorance but what do you mean by fender tab. Is that all 4 wheels or fronts only?

Thanks for the help.

If you want 19 x 9 bob try and get a higher offset like +35 and they should fit with just the guards rolled.

At least that is the case with 18's

mmmmmm. This was the suggested fitment from Workwheels australia. Might have to look into a higher offset as I dont want to do too much modification.

I have tried to understand offset. Got a basic understanding but there are so many factors to consider.

19x9+35 or so will fit easy but will look sunken

19x9 +20 will look alot better, more flush with fender but will need fender liner mod, fender rolling and bumper tab trim like J said

lowerer it more than a inch for sure to eliminate tire gap, otherwise it will look stoopid

19x8.5 +30 - 235/35/19
19x9.5 +25 - 265/30/19

I'm currently on Mazdaspeed springs (slightly lower than stock) with rolled fenders and no spacers and have no issues but I want to go lower (and the stock struts are trash in the rear...)

I am looking to buy the Powertrix coilovers and lower the car to get a nice stance. Will I need to run spacers for this to look good? Camber? I don't want wheel gap but I don't want to rub on every bump


Thanks in advance! Current picture for reference:

also remember don't lower the car more than 25 - 30mm as if you care about handling

Can I get some help with
18x9.5 +15 all around

Greddy coilovers
Rear bumper tab shaved down.

I know guard work will have to be done but could I get a rough idea on how far they have to get pulled out.

not too bad of a pull depending on how much camber you run.

You can't possibly be talking about anyone asking if like an 18x8 with a +45 would fit. That's crazy talk. I think longer studs and inside out wheels are what the cool kids are doing.
