Default Need Your Help

i have been wanting to put some 20s on my car for a while now. my only set back right now is that my gs3 is lowered 2". im worried about a rubbing problem that might happen if i put the 20s on. as of right now im thinking that 19s are the biggest size that i will be able to do. i want the wheels to sit flush with the fender. i also wanted to do staggered wheel set up but dont know if i can do that either. any opinions on this dilemma of mine?

It all depends how aggressive you want to go. If you really want that look, the only way is fender mods, going with smaller tire sizes, and camber.

It's doable. If you don't want to do fender work, you'll have to go with conservative offsets. Something like 38 front and 45 rear if you do a staggered setup.

Here is a GS with Daizen springs (1.9/1.7) on 20's.

As others hae already noted, a 2" lowering and 20's on a 2GS is very doable. Let me know if you need help with wheel quotes, etc
