Great progression! The Brabus' are my favourite. What brand of 30mm spacers are you using?

The tails are discontinued I have looked and so far have come up empty - I would ditch my RCR's for those!

For whatever it's worth, despite the information given to me by other members of this board, 20" MRR GT1s do NOT clear the front calipers of a '97 LS. I took it today to have them mounted, and they scrape the calipers. Now I have to order spacers, which I can't do until Monday, so now I won't have then installed until at least Wednesday.

My setup will be 20" x 8.5" all the way around; standard offsets until Megans come in within the next couple weeks and I see what I'm up against as far as rubbing, etc.

I'll more than likely push the rears out more than the stock +45.

Pics will be up later this week!

GT1s are the mesh wheel iirc, and never claimed to fit over bbk. the more VIP style wheels have been confirmed. nobody ever claimed anything otherwise, at least not on the LS forums...
