I've noticed that alot of GS owners here go for the stretched fit. Is it because of rubbing? That's one of the main reasons why I didn't opt for 20 inchers.

Gorgeous car BTW.

the wheels are 20x10.5 and 275's would have been streched on to fit... the 285's fit perfect... very minor fender shaving to make it fit... otherwise fits great.

Thank you!! didnt really have an isuuse with rubbing after they shaved the fenders a little bit..275's would have fit perfect but would have to be streched on... and i drive 25-30k a year and didnt want to be on a streched tire.

I think the size of the wheels, missing chrome accents and the grille combine to make the car look cheap.

Just an opinion from your friendly neighborhood boring office dwelling married dude.

P.S. must be an optical illusion the wheels look bigger than other 20s.
