Looks great mate!

Walking past the GS every morning, I hated the Meisters....was planning to remove them this weekend, but sister calls me up and says she needs new tyres...."how about some Work Meisters in 19" with new tyres?"...."Wtf you talking about?"....so off comes the Meisters off the GS (Stockies back on now) and onto her Rav4 (Which has had a big block conversion....2.4L from the current model hahaa)



For ****s and Giggles....19 x 9.5 +12 and 265 Tyre and 10.5 +12 with 305...looks like a Frog

Front

Rear



Cheers
Shane

I can't even believe dude rode around with the GS looking that way.

Quick question guys ... Megan racing has an awd setup for my 06 gs ... I'm looking to buy a set of rims but they are 9 frnt and 10.5 staggered for the rear ..what tires and offset can I run so I don't break the diff and is it safe??. Will I have to cut the fenders or will it drop right in without spacers etc ?? Also ... Should I get the drop done first or the rims ??? Helppppp

Staggered setup for any AWD car is no good. Best to go the same all round

I heard different.... Some local guys said as long as the diameter is the same around the tires and rev per mile are within .23 it would cause no harm to the diff ... Which was my concern ... Does this hold true or is it just safer to just go same size all around

Although i run staggered on my AWD, i still feel its a risk even with tires that have the same rolling diameter.
I'm currently running 225/35-20 and 265/30-20. I've had a staggered set up on my AWD for almost 3 years and 40k miles without any issues. Good luck!

How is the fitment ?? Any rolling or shaving ?? Spacers ?? I'm looking at 20x9 up front and 20x10.5 out back according to a few sources my best bet would be 215/40 F and 245/35 rear ... Almost identical... Also ..... Are you lowered ?? And on what ??

I'm lowered on Tanabe DF210 springs which is about a 2 inch drop. All my fenders are rolled because my current rims are 20x9+30 and 20x10+35. Tires are Continental DWS 225/35-20 and 265/30-20. This set up still rubs on the rear on dips and if i have people in the rear.

I also run 20x9 +38 and 20x10.5 +45 on the same size tires and don't have any rubbing issues, but again, my fenders are rolled.

IMO...the tires you mentioned are too stretched.

I'm in NYC also ... Terrible roads etc... I also don't know any shops that roll fenders or how much it actually costs ... Any NYC gs members got a connect ?? Pricing etc
