I really like the angles of the widebody. They flow really good and follow the factory lines. Looks like a lot of planning went into this. Keep it up and this is gonna turn out stunning!!!

That will totally fit - given that I run 20x12.0" wheel with 295/25-20 on the rear under stock (trimmed) rear quarters. On yours, I'd shoot for 20x12.5 or 20x13.0 with 305/25-20. All day, every day..

I have 20x10.0" 255/30-20 under the stock-ish front fenders (pulled & trimmed) so you an probably go nuts up there, too. I'd consider 20x11.0 or even 20x11.5 with 285/25-20. Would be killer.

Very cool build, by the way. The way you've done it is how I would've done mine - it retains that stock body/shoulder line - very slick. I'd recommend shaving the trunk emblem and windshield squirters on the hood while you're at it.

Also, the color looks killer. Is it going to be a matte finish, or does it just need to be cleared?

normally when I see these threads Im expecting to see a GS that has been ruined. I havent seen too many wide body attempts on these cars that I thought actually looked good. That being said, this one looks real promising. Like SoCal said, you kept some of the classic lines of the stock body integrated in there.

By the way, im running 20x11's with 305's on a stock body. When going wide body, you better come correct with the wheel fitment to make it all tie together. Go as wide and as deep as possible. Spend the coin to have a set of wheels made for you, instead of trying to fit some off the shelf wheels on the car.

SoCal is probably one of the more knowledgeable members of this forum in that arena. He hooked me up back in the day with my HRE fitment. Pick his brain, as well as some others on CL and come out swinging in the spring.

Great work.
