I sold the BMW wheels and got the 3GS 18x8 45mm wheels with 245/40/18 all around
20mm spacer front
25mm spacer rear
I also tried 25mm front and 30mm rear but the rub was too severe. My car does have aggressively rolled/shaved fenders.

Thank you for the kind words. I bought the car in 2011 from a member here with 90k. It looked brand new. It’s been my daily since 2011 and I try to take good care of it. It’s got just under 130k now (128k I think).

BayAreaLex, your car proves that with care,love and dedication this generation of GS is timeless, both in styling and reliability.
Just to show off my baby. It's a 2002 GS430--only 2500 units imported to the U.S.A.--, all stock. I'm at 102,500 miles.

Badblackgs, you have great taste in cars! How many miles on your baby?
We appear to be a small subset in the second generation GS. I know that there was somebody with one in the city I live, but I have never seen him. In fact, I have only seen a 430 in Columbia, S.C. since adopting mine, but she was from another state.

Nice nice. I hada 01 gs430 in black cherry pearl with 156k miles on the clock. Literally felt like you were floating on the road. Bought it with a rebuilt title and let's just say i'll never do that again..
Bought a 300 sportdesign to replace it
