Default 18s on 2GS.

Just wondering if 18s would look good on 2GS if lowered & rear rubbers slightly tucked?

You would look like this!!




That's me btw. Wheel and tire specs are:

18x9 +20offset with a 15mm spacer = +5
18x10 +25offset with a 20mm spacer = +5
tires are 215/35 fronts and 235/40 rears

front fenders rolled. Rear fenders completely shaved and slightly pulled. No rubbing issues besides my undercarriage .

I personally don't like aggressive 18s on the GS. Although I must say DpromGS' is the only aggressive GS on 18s that I've like so far. The dish wheel makes them look bigger than other 18" wheels.

Thanks for the input guys.

Yeah, its hard to pull it off with 18s..19s definitely will looks better but tires for each cost much more than 18s plus u can go lower f on 18s

You bring up a good point. This was the biggest reason for leaning towards 18s instead of 19s but ultimately I went with 19s because I thought that alone wasn't worth it.

For my beater/track/fun wheels however I am heavily considering some 18s .
