19x9.5 +22 Squared Setup

215/35 tires all around. will be changed to 235/35. my buddy sold these to me with tires and he stretched them a lot more than i liked for this setup. wheels dont even poke out that much but the front has 20mm spacers due to it not clearing the brakes. i will change it to 5mm spacers cus i think that should clear and match well with the tire thats going on it.

Default Vossen CV1

I went with Vossen CV1 for my 2010 GS350. 20x9 and 20x10.5 with 245/30 and 275/30. My offset is 32 in the front and 45 in the rear. I have lowered my car yet because my 2nd gen is slammed at I'm enjoying the smoother ride in the Gs350. Attachment 354080

I'll give it a go this week. I'm pretty sure I have to bang it on there I would imagine.

Your headlights, city lights, and fog lights match pretty well... Do you know what they are? 4300, 5000 or something else?? I have the stock headlights in now and want to upgrade the fogs, but not sure what Kelvin to go with to match the headlights.

actually they match dead on, the pics dont do it justice. lol

i used 6000k for fogs and headlights and i bought the bulbs from a local guy. well, ballast and bulbs for the fogs and just bulb for the headlight. and my DRL are cool white LED bulbs.

This happened to me once. Well actually I snapped the entire bolt off lug still attached. I had a set of wheel spacers and ended up removing all of them due to me not trusting the build quality...

I have two words for you: TORQUE WRENCH!
