If your serious about the GS then call me on my cell.

As for offsets...you know there is more to it then what you provided. How low are you willing to go? shave panels? pull them also? We also have a larger BBK from the factory. when your ready to purchase rims I can help you out.

Mike, no offense but my current stance is more aggressive than your Works were... and I am familiar with fender mods to make wheels fit

If I can convince myself on driving a red V8, I'll hit you up.

Looking to get something maybe in the spring or beginning of summer.

Jason, no offense taken. I was very pleased with the offset and tire size on the GS when I was on springs. When I went lower with my coils I had a lot more room to push my offset hence the reason I sold my rims. Ordering those rims brand new and making the measurements dead on I was more then pleased with the outcome. Still my favorite set up for the GS

run your 235/35-19 (stretched) tires against my 295/25-20 (non-stretched) and see who's stance was more aggressive.

There are a few members that have pushed lower offsets then you posted and stretched the tires so this can be done. Its all choice and what your looking for. Search the wheel thread and you will find a lot of info to help you out

25 sidewall is just ridiculous. I DD mine and live in the city so 35 is the lowest I'd ever go. BTW, a wide tire doesn't equal an aggressive stance.

I never said my offsets were ideal for a 3GS... hence this thread. I know people run some crazy low offsets and thats probably what I'll end up doing, IF I get a GS. I asked "how sunk", not "how dope".

do you realize that your stretching that 235 on a 10" wide rim and driving on these roads. I would bet money that the 295/25 offered me more protection then your stretched tires.

...just search the wheel thread and you will find everything you need to do your homework. This is why we created the thread so there wasn't more "will these fit" threads

I'd rather stretch a 235/35 on a x10 than run 25 sidewalls!

Anyway, you can stop bumping this. Meisters are VIP wheels anyway.

Lets not forget that I've seen your car with those wheels on... AND I've seen pictures of the new owner's GS. Not aggressive at all.

Thinking about some rims, but hey are 19x9 and 19x10 +19 all around. I know I'm going to need some rolling or even pulling... But would these work?
