TIGHT! A Silver GS with Silver Rims (with a Polished lip) looks simply AWESOME!

Are you going to do a body kit? Why did you do a 18x8 in the front instead of a 18x8.5? Just curious!

Cool Question on tire size....

Hey GSWATKINS:

Looks great. Can't wait to get my own BR5s in 45 days (so they said). From a previous post you stated you made a typo on the size of rim instead of 18"x8" for the front you actually had 18"x8.5". I notice that your tire sizes were different from what my will be coming with. 245/35R18 for front and 275/40R18 for rear. Is there a reason why you went with this size setup? I was told to use 245/40R18 and 275/35R18 for rear? I will be using the new Bridgestone S-03 Pole Position that will be release next month.

For the rims I order from Wheel Warehouse and they cost me $2590.

Chu...

Cool To GS4WILL

Thanks gs4will.

I originally wanted 18"x10" rims with 285/35R18s but the dealer talk me out of it saying it may rub. Because I am having the rims and tires ship to Guam (a island in the middle of the Pacific ocean) I didn't want to take the chance of ordering the wrong specs and having to ship it back to the vendor. Fitment is very important.

Chu....

Default no problem

i have been to guam when i still lived in asia, very beautiful place.

8.5 and 9.5 245/275 set would give you good look and no worry on the rubbing issue.
