Default wheel fitment question for the gs

alright i know sc300 got the wheel fitment guide..im just wondering what fitment guide we got for the gs300...im looking for an aggressive set up with wideness and low offsets...well let me know what you guys have so i can base my choice upon that...thanks in advance..we can prolly make this a sticky in the near future if everyone posts their set up.

I am not sure a 12" wheel will fit in the rear without major fender mods. If you go into the wheel/tire forum Rominl has a nice fitment guide for the GS

You mean a sticky like this one? Keep in mind Henry's guide is aimed more at the 90% mainstream than the VIP style or other extreme fittments

Did you pick the wheel widths on purpose? I only know of a couple of folks running even x 11 in the rear here on CL. x10 up



18 x 11 up front? Now that's crazy talk

Without fender flares, you can pretty much forget it. Even the king of crazy VIP offsets, jtanoyo1, would do a double take.
