Default New Wheels on gs400

To all of you that helped me out with the wheel buying process and answered all of my questions, I figured I would post up some pics. Thanks again for all help and I hope you enjoy.

The drop is coming soon. I got my suspension today....








Here are some pics of the drop. It should setttle to be lower I hope.

im kinda worried it will rub with a drop.. but hell.. im going to do it anyway... my tires are plush with the fenders now.. i think whenever ihit a bump I will rub. I have 18x9.5's in the back with a 35 offset and 275/35/18.. the front is 245/40/18 being 18x8.5s.. think i will need to roll my fenders? Ill post up some pics when i get it.. I am dropping with the eibach/bilstein combo...

well if youre rubbing now at that height, its pretty obvious you'll need to roll.

it'll look a lot better lowered

well, I put the front suspension on tonight.. nothing is ever easy.. I found out that every bolt is rusted and takes 100000000lbs of pressure to break loose, so needless to say, I got my workout. It took me 5 hours of using make shift tools to get the job done... All of that aside, I am somewhat pleased with the front so far. It dropeed about an inch so far, I feel it will probably settle so more... I have a weird humming sound coming from my drivers side front now. I dont know if its my wheels are out of allignment or what, but after I put on the rear, Im going to have it alligned and looked at. Ill have some pics for you all soon!

are you a professional photographer? those are nice pics, very clear. Wallpaper potential lol. but i like your GS, love Gold cars (Looks Gold) You should brighten up your exhaust tips, used some type of brass cleaner on mine and it looks tons better

I like the wheels. Having it dropped a little will seal the deal!
