Do you guys typically take out the fender liners??
ah, 295/30, gotcha. well i took off the rear and shaved off everything coz' of my offset, but that's up to you and the design of the wheels.

and the front i didn't take it off, just roll it a bit. taking it off will help on rubbing for sure.

so yeah what offsets you got there? i remember your post about what offsets to get

AJ, FANTASTIC work, wow 295s, a VERY rare feat!! Way to go D2 again!
HA so youre telling me that people actually buy fake ones of these and put them on their cars? i have absolutely seen these up close on a few gs's and they are def. all plastic with no functional squirters or anything like that... so im just guessing these on this car are not functional either?

No, the owner of the car lives in Canada and those washers are standard on cars sold here. My car also has them. (yes I live in Canada too).

Nice wheels by the way Hollywood!

Can you take a rear head on shot from a low angle so that we can see how wide the tires really look? Thanks!

Looks good. Wider is better.

About a month ago I put the 295/30-20 Toyo Proxes 4 on my brother's first-gen GS, 255/35-20 (on 20x9) and 295/30-20 (on 20x10.5). The car looks beefy, and the 295 loks nice on a 20x10.5. For me, the 295 looks a little "buffalo" on a 10" wheel, but it would afford better curb protection.

If I were putting 295s on my GS (I am), I would use 20x11 or 20x11.5; I prefer the slightly stretched look, and it helps reduce the possibility of rubbing.
