Nice! Your car looks MUCH more complete with that new front fitment. Go with 10-15mm in the rear and it'll look even better.

okay ill throw this out here for some advise...

my car i just sold was an S13 with neg offsets and modded bodywork. i dont want to go that for with the 2GS. the most i want to do is shave and then possibly slightly pull the guards if that is possible after shaving? i dont want to do any repainting.

My 2GS will be a daily and will probably sit mimumum legal height of around 100mm to the lowest point on Insurance coilies. im looking at Trafficstar DTX and trying to choose offsets. i really want +18 all round but they dont offer that.

option (1) - 19x9 & 19x10 +23 all round Standard Disc. i see this as a mildy aggressive type fitment i suppose? but i am afraid it may be a little weak and i DONT want to run ANY spacers. (just not my thing, have had issues in the past).

option (2) - 19x9 +18 High Disc 19x10 +11 Standard (low) Disc. I think this is a more aggressive fit, but maybe too much, esp in the rear? considering i only want to shave/roll the fenders. Also the rear may poke too much so i may need some camber arms and end up with a bit much camber for a Daily?

Tyre wise i will go probably 225/35 & 235/35 Nankangs or Federals. What do you people recommend? I am thinking maybe since its a daily +23 may be better at my ride height and if i go lower i can just tuck and it should look okay. but then i dont want to regret when im spending ~$4k AUD!

p.s. i dont think i will go a bodykit, if i do it will be a year or more away!

I think option 2 is about aggressive as you can go before body work.
