Default Test fitting some SSR's

Well my buddy let me use his SSR GT10 to test fit on my 2GS
specs are 19x9.5 +5
tires are 225/35 general
my camber spec is at -3.6





looks too sporty to belong on a GS imo. so back to my ****ty 19x9 +15 wheels.....


anyway, something for ****s and giggles

I like how they look with your silver paint. Don't be too hasty with the whole "too spory for a GS" mumbo jumbo.

I always see your car in front of Just Tires. I'm sure you see me drive by there all the time.

It looks very good actually. Nothing is wrong with sporty as long as that is the theme you're going for. Or do you mean that it looks too sporty of a wheel to have stretched tires and camber?

its too sporty to go on a GS. IMO, GS needs full-faced wheels
