Here are some quick pics. I know it needs a drop, but for now she will have to do.

They'll look even better once it's lowered.

Hello
I am new to the club. I plan to upgrade my 09 GSh with 20" staggered set without modifying the stock suspension. I like the sport mode suspension. It's stiffing the handling.

May I know your wheels set up? How is the ride with stock suspension? Any scraping when riding with passengers? Is the ride rough?

Thanks

I bought these wheels for my 2004 GS300. They came off an 03 LS430. Im not sure which letter/number combo delegates the offset, but on the inside of the the spokes is HM 046 and ET 35. I believe the latter of the two is the offset...im sure someone on here can tell you. They are 20x8 front and 20x10 Rear. The rears rub on really hard corners. I do not really drive with more than one passenger, but I would have to say that adding two more people would not be pretty. I couldnt drive with a lot of weight in my GS300 either due to rub in the rear. The Tires are currently 275/30/20. I just ordered 265's, but I doubt its going to provide enough clearance to prevent rubbing in the rear. The front tires only rub when the wheel is turned at extreme angles...such as parking maneuvers.

All in all I think that this set up is not going to be totally resolved with 265 tires, I would need the offset on the rear wheels brought in. I hope this helps. If you need to actually use your car to carry passengers, I wouldnt recommend what Im running.
