3GS wheel thread
^^^ I'm running a 245/30 on a 10.5 if that rear wheel is the 20x11 -20 they posted in the VIP forum there is no way they are driving that thing with just shaved fenders unless it's on air and rides alot higher than the pic. Looks good parked though!

Second, I don't think that car looks so hot. Doesn't look that good at all to me. A 3GS is a classy, sporty car. That 10 inch front wheel sticking outside the fenders like that does not look classy. I'm willing to bet he will have problems too. A 235 width tire stretched out on a 10 in wheel is not enough cushion for daily driving. He is gonna have to drive like a snail. He has to take u-turns so slow that it's dangerous in heavy traffic. His wheels will be scraped heavily. Don't get it twisted, if he is honest with us we will hear about the issues and the wheels will be for sale soon.
^^^i agree with some of what you are saying, a 10 inch wheel will work with an offset of like +25 and shouldn t rub with shaved fenders alone. I have a feeling this wheel is closer to -0- and is way aggressive. A 235 on a 10 is a stretch but nothing ridiculous I have a 225/30 on a 9 and a 245/30 on a 10.5 and drive in the city and down the highway like normal. I will say I do take it careful around potholes and bridge buckles I try to hit square, but I drive the hell out of my car. She still handles turns well too. This car at this height and this aggressive I will almost guarantee cannot drive with strictly shaved fenders. I know because I have strictly shaved fenders and my wheels tuck by 1mm in the rear
I don't believe anyone called u stupid.

I know Platinum does it big, I ve seen some great cars with ridiculous fitment come out of there. You guys posted this car like it was done though, I just know through personal experience what is driveable and whats not. Do you guys plan on a fender pull or going to leave the factory body lines and run crazy camber? post pics when finished please. I also am interested in these camber arms if they are for retail.

first of all, we are a shop, anything that gets messed up can be fixed. we dont drive slow nor do we drive stupid fast either. theres more to the car than just wheels, if you want to be aggressive theres tricks on how to make things fit. this 3gs is going for the full VIP treatment. if you have not seen what a Vip'd 3GS looks like, google is key my friend.
I don't believe in wheels so aggressive they look like they are sideways and sticking out too far from the car, changing tires every 2 months, cutting the sides of your car to make the stuff fit and unsafe driving due to tires stretched so thin the rims scrape the road on turns.
Different strokes for different folks.
PS, I do enjoy looking at show cars vip'd out. But those are show cars. Anyone who daily drives a vip....that's just immature imo.
If a person chooses infantile behavior and is upfront about it, cool. We've all done that. But I'm up front when I do immature things.
If people want to scrape their wheels and cut up a GS and buy tires every 2 months for extreme fitment, that's their business. I don't have to like it. I have the right to say I don't like it, too.
But I am not hating on anyone. Do your thing.
