test fitting 20s......tech session
friend try to be the first in taiwan to have rims on the new 430. No one has done it yet.
20x10 with offset 30 dont fit so far, serious rubbing issue with 285/30/20 tires.
Looking at rims with 35 or higher offset right now. Will report status as we go along.
New 430 got some serious brakes:
Nice looking M3s are everywhere in Taipei:

When I was at the dealer a month ago, I did notice that the GS430 has bigger OE front brakes than the GS330.
They resemble Supra calipers. Do you know what the X-factor is? (the amount of overhang the caliper has from the rotor hat/wheel mounting surface?)

actually, no one i know, including myself has less than 19s in Taipei. The roads here are actually better than L.A in most respects, since speed is usually low here, bent rims dont occur too often. The 430 is about 3 million NT, or a little less than $US100k here.

I have all chrome Davin Revolution 6.1's (spinners) in 20x8.5 (+32) and 20x9.5 (+42). The rears sit just about perfect, and the fronts sticks out a little too much (about a 1/4 inch). I would mill the fronts down a bit (another 6mm), but then the spokes would not clear the GS 430's large front calipers. The rears fit perfect (w/o a drop). If you are gonna lower it, than go with 20x8.5 +38 front & 20x9.5 +45 rear. That would be perfect.
