Default Pictures of black GS430 with Avus 20" wheels and tanabe springs

I'm using my brother-in-laws account, but here are pics of my new GS430 with 20x8.5 and 20x10.5 Avus AF-M02 Forged wheels with Continental tires sizes 245/30/20 and 285/25/20 tires with Tanabe DF210 lowering springs. Just had 2 coats of zaino on for the pics. The ride is perfect, no rubbing at all, it rides just like stock!

Special thanks to Neal@ Euroteck Motorsports for all the help!

I hope that you don't run into any 2" pothole in the rear wheels. LOL! Very nice! Congrats!

No rubbing at all, under what conditions? Have you performed full u-turns or rode around with 4 adults in the car? I'd love to do something like that to my ride but I have a small family and want to make sure that my wife doesn't run into any issues when driving. Looks nice!

That looks stunning. Well done and Welcome to CL!

No need for frying pan looking chrome wheels for sure!

looks excellent, love the stance. AVUS wheels are a great alternative, a bit pricier but great nonetheless. I think we will be doing a C5 with these soon

Enjoy!

i take his word on the no rubbing...he's down to 25 series in the back and 30 in the front...that works nicely but i would be afraid of the potholes though...hmm maybe i'll try that sizing on my next set.
