Default awd models with rims w/o drop suggestion?
Hi,

Does anyone have pics of an awd with aftermarket rims w/o being lowered?

Can anyone make and size suggestions? on rims and tires?

it CAN look decent with the proper wheels, offset, and size, and the color of your GS.

It looks like all of those need a drop ASAP but all of them are using 20 inch wheels (possibly with oversized tires). Do 19 inch wheels look as bad without drop?

19's will look worse than a 20 without a drop since the wheel diameter is smaller, thus the wheel gap will be larger
