Are you lowered on springs or coils? If so, which and what brands?

The ride is actually better then i thought. The Hankook feels really good. The rsr downs dropped it to a perfect ride height for me cause i have a family and i can still enjoy it without being scared of scrapping. It only rubs just a touch when the wheels a turned all the way but no big deal. The 285 looks so meaty from behind

I thought we couldn't do a staggered setup on an AWD GS? I saw many folks comment in these forums that this could cause or will cause suspension and camber issues. If not then I am sold, I've been holding off on this similar wheel size and lowering springs setup on my 15 AWD too.

The rolling diameter (height) of the tires have to be damn near the same. This setup is -0.4 26.8”front and 26.7” rear thats damn near spot on. Their are manufactures who do staggered on awd cars stock

Yeah, they just have to be close. Even Lexus offers the IS in AWD form with a staggered setup, and it's the same AWD system as the GS.

Thank you great info and will look into this wheel/tire size combo. This is how the GS should have come out from the factory, it just sits right and really changes the overall look and stance of the vehicle.
