Default Everyone Loves New Wheels and a Drop

Just got around to taking some half *** iphone pics of my car. Sorry once the rest of " good stuff " is installed ill bust out the tripod and a real camera. Posted below are two sets of wheels both on stance coilovers and some rolled to hell fenders LOL

The first set i pulled off my SC just because she is under construction and i just couldnt stand the stock wheels. They were just temps until my AMEs came it

CCW Classics:
Front: 18x10 +32 offset to clear BBK 245/40/18
Rear: 18x11 +24 265/35/18
Swiss cut, clear and anodized centers





Then my AMEs came in... 3 months later...
AME Shallen CXs:
Front: 19x9 +10 hi disc 235/35/19
Rear: 19x10 +0 super low disc 245/35/19











Hope this helps out anyone trying to figure out what size wheels to run on there GS, just be aware that i rolled all fenders about 1.75" out, the car is slammed, and you MUST install camber kits on these cars.....and yeah this is my daily...enjoy!

Im running Exact kits and everything is within 1 degree of factory, a 245 will make you rub more right? and if you decide to roll your fenders they will ripple at the plastic inserts for the fender liners, no paint cracking....and i cant take any more pics because it been raining for the past week here in FL, but ill post some up when i can!

Those CCWs are the best 18's I've seen on a 2GS. Do you still have them?
