Yea waiting on the tires should be by Tuesday or Weds. I need to get a detail before I get my professional pics done but I'll shoot some before then.

225/35/20 f
255/30

the lip will rub in the back if you have significant weight. I had my OEMS in the trunk and back seat that was brutal on the lip. the front lip rubs on tight turns(there is a bump there that's the bumper hardware I believe)

Car looks super nice. What lip sizes did you get with your wheels? I ordered a set of wheels from vip also and have the same offsets.

9.5 F
10.5 R (I think a camber kit will solve the lip rub) *Light load NO rub*

Also I feel like the offset could have been pushed to +38 in the rear. You may want to ask them about doing +38 in the rear as plenty of people are running 10.5 @ +38 on their 4GS.

Nice, looking good, dying to see it in person as well. The wheels will most likely rub I was was way worse but I also have wider tires. Any other mods planned for the GS, funny one of my friends spotted your car at Neponset car wash while I was in Miami, guess I missed a chance then.
