Default Aggressive wheels?

I was just wondering how come I only see a few 3rd gen gs's with aggressive wheel fitment? Is it that much finder work to rock a low offset.? I would love to hear from the guys who are rolling with a +10 or lower. Was it a lot of body Work? just a finder roll, pull and some camber? show some pics give me the story I was thinking about a aggressive offset for my 3GS I like the VIP style cars I see 2g's all the time is it that different? Please give some input thanks guys

The problem is where the fender meets the bumper theres a bracket, go to aggressive you run into it. If you eliminate it your bumper will flap in the wind not to mention our body style has the bodyline on the fender 2GS dont, go to aggressive you have to eliminate it yet you ll still have it on the bumper. Start running -5 camber on stretched tires and you ll be riding on the sidewall of the tire, not ideal if you like your rims. This is just my .02 cents but reasons i chose to go as aggressive as possible without pulling fenders ,changing bodylines and running ridiculous negative camber. plus I drive the s.h.y.t. outta my car!

Did you check the VIP section? Did you try to search? I've seen numerous 3Gs on here. I can't copy the links since I'm on mobile club Lexus on my iPhone and it's too complicated.

just like 2gs, all the super vip and ultra aggressive setup, they didn't appear until 2004-2005, which was 6-7 years after the car was debut (here in the US). it has to do with the owners crowd overall.

Yeah I was thinking that also. In a couple of years some one will be running a 19x11 -10 and 19x12 -12 on a 3GS lol

There's a limit to how aggressive you can go, anything after that.. it just gets plain ridiculous and stupid IMO

Doesn't matter how stupid it is. In a couple years when you can buy an 06 for 10-15K, kids will dump them to the ground by cutting springs. Others will raise them like Donks. Still others will mount wheels stiking out like bubblegum bubbles.

I think you nailed it. As the value of the car decreases you'll see a lot more modified cars.

Heres his car its definitely official, but everyday driving with -7 degress camber is crucial I would be literally driving on the sidewalls of my tires, and you must burn them up what gotta get them flipped every oilchange lol.... and you also are rocking custom flared fenders in the front. I personally rocked the most practically aggressive set up that still allows me to drive my car hard and get atleast 10k out of my tires BTW what happened to the wald kit Im tryna get that!!

that is a wide finder in the front but it looks dope. is it a 0 or a -7 in the rear? the camber does not look that bad from the camera angles i see. platinum vip did that car?
