I love black 2nd Gens

so you're running 20x9 +0 up front? any pulling of fenders or just shaved or rolled flat?
just asking cause i have 19x9 +27 and got some 25mm spacers on the way so am looking to get 19x9 +2 on mine in front...

ant u better stretch some tire on those 9.. best would be 215s to clear tho

came a long way in a little time. :biggthumpup:

with 235/30/20 he's daily driving his GS tucking tire.

awaiting for 20x10 20x12 (4.5" lip front 5.5" lip rear) VIP Modular VR15 (Platinum Series wheels)

damn already ??? looking forward to seeing that set up !

car is looking good nice work

Great progress indeed... I'm stunned how you got a zero offset 11.5 on a 2nd gen. Doesnt seem like you pull your fenders either-am I right?? Now you gonna up the ante with a 12"?! I'll stand down with my 10.5 lol! Good sh!t homie, please bring this out to the VIP Festival later this year so I peep game aight 1

nice work... props.^

car looks dope.

i like the gold wheels, but you already got something else too!

Scratching my head , How did you get a 20x11.5 0 offset in the rear with no pulling, or camber ? I like how you kept the body simple. Cant wait to see the new wheels

Looks nice

[QUOTE=widebody_Q;315682]Looks nice

[/QUOTE]


something else had to be done to get that to fit.  if you have a 7.5 inch inner hoop how is this a 0 offset?  am i missing something?  I'm not trying to be a hater, but this makes no sense.  I have a 19x10+0 on my 01gs430, a 5 inch lip (to me this means nothing at this point), and needed to stretch out my rear fender to fit, the numbers just don't add up, sorry.

So you're the one that owns this GS LOL. Definitely sick, I love the paint.
