Brian, Brian, Brain...man, I thought you finally recieved your eyeglass....I know bi-focals are little harder to make (especially they're as thick as a Coke bottle) and you know what? I think your optometrist screwed up...

Here, let me SPELL it out for you (bust out with your "Speak & Spell"!)

LMAO ........

You guys are the greatest. BUT NOW I HAVE ANOTHER DILEMMA !!!!!!!!

THANKS A LOT GLOBE !!!!!!!

He said "18's in Front"
He said "19's in Rear"

That sounds VERY cool.

Does it make sense?????

HELP ?????????

BTW, Phil at AutoAddictions.com is helping me with this. He said he would go with Michelin XGT Z4's. I am tempted to go with Bridgestone S03's. LET ME KNOW. I'm placing the order today so I can be ready for the East Coast Meet on July 21.

arrrrgggghhhhhhhh ..........

I DID IT !!!

Just got off the phone w/ Phil at AutoAddictions and ordered:

18x8.5 front with S-03 245/40/18

19x9.5 rear with S-03 275/35/19

Should be on in less than 2 weeks. Pictures on the way, Manaray!

Thanks Globe for the cool idea of different diameters in front and back. I hope it WORKS !?!?


Praise the Lord.

Default Different sizes..

No ability to rotate?! Or are those rims / tires uni-directional?

Congrats Bobcat, the 18/19 was my idea from a while ago, and I've also heard someone mentioning the NSX style (17/18) so I just thought it would be cool to use that setting.

1) I think with 18s front you don't have to worry about the fronts rubbing or something.

2) 18s tires cost alot less than 19s

3) The rear end of the GS looks so fat, 19s looks alot better than 18s. But the front, even 17s are okay.

haha.

interior huh. Yah It's pretty much done........ I didn't do as much as I first planned........ thought it won't look as nice if I paint the WHOLE DASH silver.

I should be taking pics within a few days. I took some with my crappy digicam and they came out brown (you can call it sepia to be artistic ) I'll borrow my friend's good camera and post them somewhere.

18's are tooo small

19's will get a couple looks

20's will TURN HEADS

21's will SNAP NECKS


---You decide, but remember, you rockin' big body now, I feel you can't go anything less than 20's.


Just my two cents

remember:


White GS + 20s + not lowered + no kit = weird.

Dubz are not for everyone. And besides, most of you probably knows that only the rear end of the GS requires big wheels. The bigger you go front will only make your rear seem even smaller. Hence, the 18/19 combo.

Bigger isn't always better
