Offset/width?
I'm looking into the 5Zigen fn01rc wheels for my GS (98) and I was planning on going with 18's... I was planning on 7.5 in the front 9.5 in the rear - would this work out ok? Also, Would I need spacers or anything on the lines? Thanks!
Any help?

I put the FN01-RCs on the NSX. Nicely made wheels, especially for the price. Nice & lightweight, too.
5Zigen can probably make a recommendation... do you have a big brake kit? Some of the FN01-RCs fit over big brakes, some don't... and it depends on the brake kit.
An 18x7.5 is pretty narrow for the front of the 2GS- the OE 17" wheels are 17x8.
I actually have the width/offset chart for the FN01-RC which we used to spec-out the NSX wheels. If I were doing 18" FN01-RCs on a 2GS I would do:
Aggressive set-up:
Front 18x8.5 +32
Rear 18x9.5 +35
Conservative set-up:
Front 18x8.5 +38
Rear 18x9.5 +45
Be sure to get the hub rings for Toyota/Lexus (60.1mm) so they'll be hub-centric (they charge a few extra dollars for these, typically).
.... and post some pics!
