dunno, i must be weird but i am not reall a fan of the cutouts on the fender. the sl is slick and that looks nice, but the gs is bulky and it just looks funny to me

about the wheels, isnt' that something like the zeuber gettins? if you get the low disk setup for the front you can get tons of lips no problem. look at GSTRANCE's car, the lips front and back are both stupidly wide

good eye adrian. judging from the spokes of the wheels, i would still think it's low disk setup (and considering the mount of lip you get). and yes, they do have big brakes for the front. anyone wonders why?

personally i think the answer lies in rubbing and camber. first of all we don't know if the wheels rub at all, maybe they are just for shows and for daily drive you can't even turn without rubbing anything.

second, it's the camber. think of it this way. if you get a wheel with super low offset, how is it going to "fit" under the GS? well, you lower the car, and you adjust the camber to be as negative as you can. that way it will keep on pushing the top of the wheel INWARD, and if you set it negavtive enough, it will fit and actually no rubbing. plus it is possible that they put saying 235 instead of 245 series tires for the extra room.

the problem with that is i am not sure if you wanna drive around with that camber. yes you won't rub, but good luck to the tires. i am sure the tire shop would be very happy to see you going there all the time.

so for me from the pics, it looks like for the front ehy have normal disk setup but intentionally lower the offset as much as they can to fit the brakes. then put skinner tires and also decrease the camber to make it fit just 2 cents, of course

The car lays too low for them to be 20's. I say 19's.
