Hi, love the car and the vossens. I was actually gonna do the same to my Black GS with the Vossens CV1's and was told the best fit dimensions were:

20x9 +38
20x10.5+42

Are these the same size and offset that you are currently running on your GS?

Thankyou!!! And the setup is 20x9 in thé front and 20x10.5 in the rear offset I think is +22 all the way round the tires that I have on are 225/35/20 in the front and 245/35/20 in thé rear the setup is pretty good and does not bother the AWD system although there are some vibrations and wobbling here and there...

Hey 1Slogs, what suspensions are u running? Would the wheels plus rolled fenders allow the wheels to be tucked right in when running air suspensions?

The Car is on BC Racing Coilovers and am planning to go with UAS Bags eventually and i think with these being 20" rims i would think it would go a lil lower if you were on bags but im not too sure if the wheels would tuck or not but when i angle the car on slopes i have noticed that the wheels tuck in and rub against the metal on the inside but i think it would tuck or it may even sit right on the rim.

GS VIP, what good Bro? Question, if you don't mind me asking. What suspension are you riding on and what size shoes are you on? I have a GS 430 2006 and I want to lower the whip, but having a hard time making the right choice. How does your machine ride when you get to 70+ any alignment issues, or rubbing issues or camber issues? Please, let me know your experience and opinion. Thanks Bro, Jah

Your whip look WICKED!

Wassup man And thank you!!!! My car is on BC Racing Coilovers the BR type. The wheels are 20x9 in the front and 20x10.5 in the rear and the offset is +22 with 225/35/20 in the front and 245/35/20 in the rear and ride is ok i would honestly save up and put bags since mine is AWD and yours is RWD so your car wouldnt have an issue with vibration and wobble otherwise the car rides good and i need camber adjusters in the front and the rear which i haven't put in yet but will shortly put them in. According to me i would go directly with bags but since your GS is RWD you can go with any suspension and you wouldnt really face a problem with vibration and Wobble.

Ok, cool Bro! Thanks. So your off set is +22mm is that all around on the wheels or just the front. I have heard that the AWD's be going in the shop for front axle issues. So, would you recommend BC Coilovers over Tanabe Coil Overs?

+22 is all they way around and i know i have been facing the axel issue which is the wobble and the vibration and stuff but i havent done anything to it and i know BC's are good so i would recommend BC's im sure Tanabe is good too but since i have experienced with BC's i would say go with BC's

"i got it off IJDMTOY.com 360-Degree Shine Super Bright Xenon White 68-SMD T10 LED Wedge Light Bulbs 168 194 912 921"


Thanks for this tip.

Did my DRLs on Sat. Man was it hard getting that Passenger side bulb in there. The LED Wedge is twice as long so the clearance is minimal. But its in and working now. Looks 10X better at night. Wish I could run that all the time w/o running my head lights.

I mean the actual diy tells you to remove a lot of things i think to gain access but i went around the easy way of just twisting it and pulling it out and then what i did was i turned those light on so that the lights could guide the bulb in place. Im glad that i could help you out.
