Default Need some advice on wheels..
Hey guys about to order a new set of wheels and wanted to get everyone's opinion on what would look best on my GGP sport design GS300. I will be going pretty aggressive with the stance as I have a 4.5in lip in the front and a 5" in the rear. Car will be getting fender work. Either way please let me know what wheels you guys like best. Thanks again!

I wanna try to keep the fender work as stock appearing as possible.. With those lips I will be running a +22 in the front and +9 in the rear.. I wanna try to run minimal camber, hence the fender work.

I also am up in the air as far as running a step lip or regular flat or reverse lip is what I believe the proper term is.

I will be going 20" and it will be 20x10fr and 20x11 rear. I still have to finalize the exact specifics but thats what we had discussed.

WellI am pretty sure we will have to pull, cut, and weld in the rear.. Either way my goal is to have the car running very, very minimal camber.

You're looking at a 1.25-1.5 inch pull to clear a 20x11+9.

Yea, they told me it would be roughly 1" in the rear and about 1/2in in the front.
