I did a search but couldn't find any pix. Does anybody have any pix of a lowered GS on the stock 17's. By lowered I don't mean slammed but any pix will help.

Why do you have wider tires in the rear?

Reverse staggered setup!!!

My previous front tires were worn down all the way so I had to get new tires. The problem was that the L-tuned drops 1" all around, and our cars are naturally higher up front. There is more wheel gap in the front so I bought 245/45/17 to fill in the gap just a bit. Plus, more traction for the corners Handling isn't any different as far as I can tell. In fact, the steering is just a tad bit heavier, which is what I wanted.

It sounds weird and all, but it's no problem. I dont drive like a mad-man anyways.
