Default Help!

I droped my 99 GS4 about few weeks back and need your experts help.
In the market for new shoes, the 19" shoes that I was looking @ is about 4-6 weeks out.
But they do have the dubs in stock.
Heres where I need your help. How much of a difference will the 19 and 20in shoes be? Will it rub on the fender? Will I have to do any other mods to the car? What size shoes and tires should I go with?

Please help!

Thanks

If you rub or not depends on what offset/width you go with.

However, many folks have lowered their GS's on 19's and 20's. You will be fine.
Please review the link below to help you figure out what you need to do

with 2inch drop I was going to go with a chrome 19" with a 45mm off set.
From what you guys are saying, dubs should be just fine.

Thanks a bunch
