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.

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.
