New Pics - New Wheels
Wow, great wheels. Thanks for posting pics.
I am so surprised that +35 offset in the front with an 8.5 width wheel rubs. That concerns me a lot, as I thought that would be the perfect offset for the front.

Wheels are machine silver polished Work Varianza T1S 20x8.5 35 offset front and 20x10 45 offset rear.
Tires are 245-35 f and 275-30 r Bridgestone RE960. This same front tire on my old wheels did not rub in the front but now I have rubbing. I don't get it. Time for fender work.
Lowered on Tanabe NF210 springs.

You have get either 245-30 tires or a little higher offset to not rub. Somewhere around 37-38 would probably not rub with 245-35 tires.
Hey guys, I really appreciate the props. Especially after going through 4 sets of wheels on this car. Still don't understand why none of them had rubbing issues but these do. All were 35 offset in the front. Maybe the springs have settled to low. Maybe I'll buy one spring to replace the left front. Better than changing all four tires. The Bridgestone RE960 don't come in 245-30 so I'd have to buy four new tires for a matched set. Ain't gonna happen.
Anyway, the car looks good and rides smooth. The Works look more JDM than the other wheels. JDM wheels for a JDM car.
Still thinking about a kit but I just am not convinced I'd like it. The GS is such a tall car as is. I don't want to ruin the little sleekness it has. We'll see.
Thanks again.

It's gonna be really hard to convince me on the kit thing. I look at pics of kitted GS and they look good but the cars look bulky. I was gonna do the 08 refresh. Priced the parts and it's not as expensive as I thought. I was about to order the parts but decided to go to the dealership for closer looks. I realized I don't like the 08 front as much as I do 06-07. So why do it?
If I do anything, it will be the AC pieces. Just the front lip. No side skirts for me. That's where the bulkiness really shows.
What happened to that photo shoot?
I'll be getting tint in the next few days or whenever I take the time to do it. Guess I could do it today since I took a day off of work.
