19" x 9 +30 fronts 2.25" lip and 19" x 10 +30 rears 3.25" lip, you think spacers will give me a better look. cuz, it seems like the vip guys are running different offsets- front n back.

Those offsets are considered conservative when it comes to VIPstyle wheel fitment. If you are set on those wheels, I would try to add a 10mm spacer all the way around. This will give you an equavalent offset of a +20, which is decent for the 2GS.

Some people use different size spacers, because of different size wheels and offsets. However, the out come is almost the same. I think the best way to achieve a perfect wheel fitment (with spacers) is to get the stance right, do the fender modifications and then measure the size of spacer needed by checking the distance between the tire and fender.

Also, I do daily drive my car and take it everywhere. Air suspension really helps out a lot, but can still be done without it. Just look at GATO, he's on coilovers.
