Are those EZ streets? Looks very nice. Very similar to my LP's except that lower mounting portion is a bit beefier on the LP's.
Also; is that a spacer in your pics up there? or a stud conversion? kinda interested in if you do have spacers but then again your rears still look sunken?

And it's a stud conversion. The Zone's I have are 5x120 so we picked up some 35MM adapters for them, but took them back today, gonna go a different route for now.
And they're not "LP's", but they are Megan's. They're the EZ version.

Well the only reason we have to raise it a hair is because my stockies are thicker than the usual tires that are on them. I'm running 215/65 I think. I'd have to look again, but it's something like that. I do plan on keeping it slammed like that though.
I'm sticking with the Zone's, but i'm really feeling the whole 'tucked' look, so i'm gonna get them redrilled to 5x114 and then just throw them on no spacers and see how it looks. Then if I feel like I wanna poke or anything I can always find some spacers easily.

Idk how much its gonna cost to re-drill. If the re-drill cost is near $50/wheel. Then you might be able to kill 2 birds with one stone (or should I say spacer ) hahaha. You can get 20 or 25mm spacer/wheel adapters. The adapters generally convert any wheel to fit your Gs. Note: make sure the back of the wheel has pockets in between each lug hole, incase the tip of the old wheel studs stick out the spacer a little.

Yepp. I think the stock tire size is 215/60r-16 for the Gs. Maybe you get a deal in some take offs. This would be good temps until you slap the 19's on.

Well today I got on my front tires on the Zone Forged 1's and got a 235 in the rear to test out. Seems like the 235 will work, but will have to shave and do a minor pull on the fender if I want to go real low. Might just raise it for now and enjoy it and do all that later though.
Here's a picture I took test fitting the front/rear. The rear is actually sitting way higher than where it's suppose to be, if I brought it down anymore it would just be sitting on top of the tire and I don't want that, so in the next couple of days i'll be raising the GS in the rear a bit and maybe a tad in the front so it doesn't look so off and will go from there. For now enjoy.
P.S. -- Took the picture with my iPhone so pardon the not so great picture.

Thanks man.
This car honestly has and I can't wait to keep making it look better and better. I'll keep you updated via text bro. I'm going to have to raise it more probably get on that this weekend and try to roll the fronts and pull the rears a little, so expect some text messages.
