I am stuck in a bind and need CL members assistance with choosing wheels. I am stuck between SSR GT03 19" +24 rears and +43 fronts. Then thing with the SSR wheels is it has a bolt pattern of 5x112. I know I need adapters but asking price is $650 used with tires! The other is Concept racing RS-10. 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rears and that of course is ordered with the correct bolt pattern for my car and that's roughly close to $2k with tires. I'm new to CL and recently purchased a blue marlin pearl '04 gs300. Haven't done much but red out the tail lights and cleared bumper markers. My UAS is coming in this week so I will post my own build thread and a detailed DIY UAS install being that there's not really a detailed DiY. Can someone chime me in on ya'lls opinion on which wheels is better? Thanks!!!

 

get the ssr and redrill em. then get larger lips and you are good

 

Thanks for your response. Sorry for the noob question but how do I go about adding some "lipage" on the wheels and a rough estimate per rim. Thanks 5t

 

Thou could use wobble lugs on the 5x112 wheels. They run around 100 our so from one of the vendors.

I used wobble lugs to put a set of Audi RS4 wheels on for a while.

How wide are the wheels? To give you some ideas of size and offset on the GS 19x8.5 et35 is close to the fender without rubbing of a lowered GS. 19x8.5 et25 works out to be very flush on the rear as well.

 

I agree, it should only cost a few hundred to have them redrilled and more hundreds to get largers lips

Anyways, congrats on the gs and welcome to CL. As far as the noob q's, we all got to start somewhere

 

Do the wobble bolts cause any vibration/shaking in the steering?

 

Jriggs and bluwagon, thanks for the info but if I have to go through all that for used rims, I might as well get new rims for possibly the same amount I'm forking out to beef up the SSR's. Dang it!!! What would y'all do?

 

Welcome to the family, dont feel noob ever, we are here to always help you! SSR's will cost to beef up, so if thats not the route you want to go, save up, and get a brand new set to your standards

 

No, they allow the lug to properly seat on the wheel so no vibrations.

Which wheels to you like the best? Those are the ones I would go with end of story, if you like them you can "make" them fit.

 

Re-lipping wheels normally isn't very cheap. Depending on how these fit you may just be able to get new outter lips to increase some lip. You will be dropping a couple hundred on each wheels if you were to do that as it costs some money for the new lips, to pull the wheels apart, then reinstall/re-seal. I would contact Yuta at wheelflip.com and let them know SonicMotor set you.

Tony, if you need any help don't hesitate to shoot me a PM man.

 

Thanks l3xotic!!

 

Thanks again jriggs! I guess I should slow down and wait till I fall in love with a wheel To my liking.

 

Hey Zach! Thanks for all your assist. Got my kit in yesterday and is attempting a DIY this Sunday. I wanted the chrome tank!!! J/k this silver tank will do I guess. After reading the DIY on here, there so many different answers. Rubbing issues and what not. Modifying stock struts. I don't even know what to do but I guess I will try my best..

 

Your kit is the 2GS specific kit brotha, so you shouldn't have any rubbing issues Make sure if you need to know anything, shoot me a message!

 

Will do Zach!!!!!!!!!
