Widebody...I don't think a pull will even let those fit.

depends if you just stick them or bolt them on or "mould them on" I see things from a bodyshop perspective. The way those guys had just plopped them on looked like crap, but if you imagine it moulded on, it would look a lot more subtle.

18s are too small for the GS.

You would also need to get rid of those tires. 40series is going to make it really difficult to fit those. You would have to go with a 35 series up front and a 30 in the rear with a monster stretch.

18s are too small for the GS.
Thats if your on lowering springs and ridding like a 4x4 but if your slammed, then 18's will look just fine

you wouldnt necessarily need 35 or 30 series tires to fit them in there. you could run 40 series and fit them, they would just have to be way more narrow. for example, 215/40's or 225/40's on the 11j's, and 235/40's or 245/40's on the 12j's should make it good. if you ran crazy camber you might be able to fit them without pulling the fenders, but you'd definitely need to roll them.

The GS is a big body sedan and the car will overshadow the wheels. That's like saying 18s on a LS460 is okay. It'll look strange.

Not really, if you're dumped on 19's they look REALLY big, compared to just being lowered on 19's. If you're dumped on 18's they look like just a normal lowered 19's to me.

Pray every night.... then go to church every Sunday.... sit around and wait..... then Voila! A miracle just in time for EOS.

Or the atheist approach: Cut about 5 inches upward into the rear wheelwell sheetmetal and run around with no front fenders.
