InvAsian, while that black one looks half way decent, only cause of the stance and the kit.


look at how this one looks on 22's ....kinda like a 4x4 .......no taste on this one....no offense.
just giving you an idea of 22's. ......20's is the way to go

Yea, the black one is decent because of the drop, kit, and the BBK. The other one just looks like a roller skate.

let alone the rough ride it creates. Why even consider!!

The shoes, I wanna go big as possible, is it possible for a smooth ride on 22's, and for the body, im interested in the " Vertex " kit, but ive done som research and the price is at least over $1,200.00 .... Any info where i get a better price?
If anyone has pics of a Gs on 22's or jus Sportin a Vertex Kit, please post som pics, Thanx
You say you're a simple kind of guy but you want to put 22's on a GS? Nothing simple about that. You will stand out a lot and may have headaches from fitment issues. Good luck.

Default Thanx Everyone!

Thanx guys for all the feedback ! I appreciated.
After further research & everyone's opinion, yesterday i had decided
to purchase a set of 245/35/20. My ride is pretty much bone stock, now with the exception
of my new wheels, next project will be to obtain a body kit ( Maybe Vertex ).
I'll will be posting pics up soon.

a wise choice, my friend. Trust me, you will be MUCH happier in the long run. Hell, its hard enough being on 20's as it is.........one word of advice from somebody who has been there : do yourself a favor and get some lowering springs and shocks/struts before you put those 20's on.....otherwise it WILL look and ride like a 4x4 if you have stock suspension. Good luck.

Definately sticking out to much , especially in the front. The back doesn't look "tooo" bad but the front looks real bad. Just my 2cents. If u like it then go for it. I personally like big as possible wheels, but they need to fit correctly, to look nice (classy). What about going 21" in the rear and 20" in the front? Wonder how that would look. Vettes run that set up, and it looks fine. NO, not the same size(21",20"), but bigger in the back and smaller in the front.I also saw some street rods (with fenders) with this kind of setup and it looked hoooooooot

Stick with some 20's and with the money you save, you can buy the Vertex kit without having to spend too much more.
