Default Widest rim for 1st Gen GS

I am thinking about running a wide wheel tire combo all around for an aggressive look and even lips front and rear. What is the widest 20" wheel/tire combo I can put on the front of a 96 GS300 with a 1.8"drop?? I was thinking 9.5 or 10" with a 275/30-20. If anyone could photoshop some deep dish 20s on the attached pic, that would help me get an idea also. i am willing to roll/shave my fenders if need be.

How about a 3" lip on the rear? (These are 19x10 with 285/30-20). Fender rolling required. HRE's, baby!!

Default HRE 546R's [Photoshopped]

My car p-shopped with HRE 546R's - My friend photoshopped this for me awhile back just to give me and idea of how 20"s would look like on my car. Now you can't tell me this doesn't look hella SWEET!!



hope this helps

regards,

Seize, pics like that only further my opinion that the 1st gen GS is one of the most timeless designs of its time!! If your car looked like that, YOU WOULD PROBABLY TRY TO STEAL IT FROM YOURSELF!! LOL

damn that looks clean without the 2 tone, is that your paint scheme?

Default Yeah..

I agree with you "D, the first gen has that timeless design to it. It looks so clean. As far as my paint scheme it's not all white like in the pic above that was photoshopped as well my car is still two-town but in immaculate condition as you can see by the pic down below...

You must park that damn thing in your living room!! Even the wheel well is clean!
Another thing, that many people with 93-95s dont do is change the tailights to the 96. I have a 96 and the lights have no plastic between them, its just body color metal, trust me, with that light color, it would totally set the back of your car off!!! Sometimes I wish I had a light color, just so I could see that piece in the middle!

How much did you pay for your clear corners? Are u gonna do anymore mods?
