Default 3rd gen GS 18's on 2nd gen GS pics?

They do fit right? I did a quick search but could not find a pic. I found some stock 3rd gen GS 18's on CL and want to ****** them up for my 02 GS.

Thanks.

Yes. It will fit fine. No modification to the wheels or fenders or anything else is required. It's a direct bolt on. You can use the stock lugnuts from your old wheels too.

Sleeper,
How much are you lowered in that curb shot? I love the clean look. Tight and classy, no rice. And it looks like all you did for ground effects is a TTE front lip. Is that right?

Like I said, the 3GS wheels are a direct bolt-on. No need to worry about modifying anything. I recently got spacers though to flush the wheels a bit more. That is at the owner's discretion and not necessary. I'm lowered about 1.5 finger gap all around on Tein CS v2 and running tire size 245/40/18. Yes, I have just a front TTE lip. The GS should have come with it stock IMO.

Does anyone know if aftermarket lug nuts can be used with these factory wheels? I recently bought a set of '06 GS 18" rims and would like to rock some colored lug nuts.
