Love those double digit offsets in the negative!
And that head on frontal shot takes the cake.
Can't imagine going any wider unless you get skinnier inner barrels. Nice work, refreshing to see something worth while posted again so I thank you for refreshing the boards. Keep up the good work.

Tiger4life, it used to be! Not the original, ever since this car hit Wisconsin 3 years ago, it's gone through 4 of my friends, I've wanted it since My first friend got it. I told myself I'd own it one day. I pulled the trigger an got it.

Nelson09, Thanks man, the fronts have about an inch spacer on. I wanna remove it an go 19x11 in the front aswell. I wanna tuck wheel front and rear. But I fell in love with the Fender lip resting on the wheel lip. I'm afraid if I go with the tucking aired out, I wouldn't love it as much.

The car is clean in the aspect of rust. There is none. But it is sun faded from being in AZ. 180K miles it's got alot of rock chips. And the fenders are kind of messed up from being aired out. the air lines are so big it literally drops. An not slowly.

So my plans for the winter are to get the wheels taken apart. New barrels and lips. Faces get stripped and repainted. Redo all the body issues. Get it repainted (Same Cinnabar red) And get it looking good again.

Does anyone know if newer lexus seats fit? I'd love to get a set in there. Considering 2nd gen GS seats in black are uncommon...

Nice GS. Nice color. Looks good. I'm from Wisconsin originally. Those roads weren't very friendly on lowered vehicles. Thankfully you are bagged. Congrats on the 2GS

You're originally from Wisco, the GS is originally from AZ! Haha. The roads are lack luster. Good out here by me. Oshkosh tears up pretty good. Air definitely leps! An thanks man!

Roof is vinyl wrapped black because the clear coat is shot from being in AZ for most of it's life. But once it goes in for respray it'll be going black. I like the black roof look on this car!

Anyone know if you can run sway bars with air ride? I currently don't have any and it bothers me super bad.

Could restore them best as you can and wrap them before they cloud up again with Laminx like I did...lightest shade film they offer. And about the sways, our cars come with stock sways did you remove them?

I think I'd sooner just get new lenses. mine are starting to crack from the UV rays. And the sway bars were non exsistent upon purchase of the vehicle. I'm unsure if I can run sway bars with airride
