Don't think I like the look. hate yellow lenses. In fact I spent a ton of money making my lights whiter.

But I like your tire choice. Please tell me how they ride since I think you are the first here to put RE-11s on a GS. I'm thinking of buying RE-11s too.

With those extra wide wheels wearing 180 compound rubber your lateral traction is going to be outrageous!

Not sure I understand what is so unusual about a car on a floor jack? I however like to know what type of lights your using for parking and fog?

18's? Super wide for this car but 18's are way too small, IMO

staggered wide for track ill let you know how they grip on the track/ street when i get it.

As for the lights, its a hate love thing but it sets me apart from other people driving a car like mine.

its not unusual, just jacking up the wheels to put load on it so people can see how it sits as if it was on the ground.

its a 3M Flim over the lens and i replaced all my halogens with LEDs.

wide staggered 18" on 4" dish dump looks better than 20"+ rims dumped cause you'll never go as low.

Not of my liking and the car needs at least a couple coats of Zaino.

But as long as you're happy, that's all that matters. Enjoy.

Easy tiger...that's why I said "IMO". It's all subjective. And for everyone, going the 'lowest' is not the goal.

i wasnt trying start anything i was just stating my side of it thats all. Like i said eariler up on the thread im tracking it this summer so going the "lowest" will give you a lower centre of grabity which increase balance.

I hate teaser pics. Anyways, when you finally get the tires and put the wheels on, I know you're gonna post a million pics of them here. So i will just wait.
