Managed to be able to keep my Zauber Gettins and finally got them installed.. These pics once again are bad quality, I should have a better cam this week and will get some good pics.. maybe I can take a few with both my GS's.. first thing no comments on the red calipers, I do not care for them.. my next mod is going to be a big brake kit and I will probally go with black calipers

Nice man, I'm glad you were able to keep and mount your wheels!! Since Nitto 555 has a "more square" profile, I would imagine you have pretty good rim protection on the backside (not much stretching) is that true?

Congrats and drive safe

It does not look stretched at all, 275/35/20 on 20*9.5 in the rear.. the tire fits it perfect, atleast for my taste

Thanks.. I was real down about having to get rid of them, I had been wheel shopping forever to find the right ones and I know I don't even have to explain the wait to you once you have actually ordered them.. no coilovers on, I already had a buyer so I went ahead and sold them.. but in the end that is good because now I can get Tein Flex.. But since it sits about where I want it right now I will go with a brake kit before coilovers

They ride great imo, I noticed more of a difference going from OEM 16's to the OEM 17's with 40's on them than I noticed going from 17's to 20's.

as usual.....................SWEEET! Great you got to keep them, it would have been a shame if you didnt get to run them, and then took a loss on them........ Congrats man, car looks great!!
