Yes, I realize it's not a Lexus. I'm here because I want to get into a GS next year





17x9 ET17, 17x10.5 ET29 (after spacers due to inner clearance issues).

I finished putting together a front and a rear today.

Here's the bucket (on the old 8.5/9.5 set up):

Welcome to the forum. Looking forward to see what you do with a GS.

Is that line referring to...


"Haters gonna hate, lovers wanna love; I don't even want, none of the above. I want to p*** on you. Yes I do, I'll p*** on you. I p** on you."

I love those wheels, more pics please.

Thank you sir. I have big plans for the GS. I was going to do air on the GTI, but decided not to until I have a 2nd car just in case the air decides to go down (pun intended :P ). I have a ton of air parts lying around in my closet, so why not?


Hah, I'm not sure where the line/picture is from since I just stole that picture from another forum, but I do remember that song. Ah, R. Kelly.


Thanks. I have more of the car on the old 8.5/9.5 set up if you want to see?

Sweet ride.

You'll find that on CL most members have a true appreciation for nice vehicles...regardless of the badge.

Hate it!!! Terrible!!! What were you thinking?? LOL!! Well you did open the floor for this discussion. The GTI on /classic BBS looks good. As poster above stated, many of us here are fans of really clean wheel fitment as well as car lovers in general; regardless of the brand. Looks good.

Nice wheels, don't understand staggered on fwd car. btw, are the wheels worth more than the value of the car?

c4lvin

Thanks guys.

Staggered on FWD is simple. Most cars have a narrower track in the rear and/or wide fenders, and it needs to be filled up somehow. Spacers don't make up for the lack of width

The value of the wheels with the effort I put into it is worth about what I owe on the car, but not worth anywhere near the actual value of the car itself.

Woow, that is cleeean man. No hate commin from this way

Thanks for answering my question, much appreciated.

The look is great, IMO. I usually view staggered as jiving with where the power is put down (rear wheels for RWD). But I've seen many AWD SUV's and cars that I like with staggered setups

In the world of mod cars, (which many dabble in here too), we generally expect no increase in resale value as a result of mods, and usually expect it to hurt value. In fact many of us are prepared to return our cars back to a complete stock setup when time comes to sell.
