Hot car love the rims...
Just wanted to share my experience driving 19" staggered...i just bought the car less than 1 year ago put the tires and 10months in i needed new tires. Just had them replaced this week and went for a alignment they cant adjusted more than what it is becuase the tires are to wide. So unless i get a camber kit im gonna have to buy new tires in less than a year again.

Tire spec- toyo tr1

front tires 245-35-19

rear tires 275-30-19

I guess your tire choice made all the difference, considering some others with the same size wheel and similar drop are reporting a lot of rubbing. I'll have to keep that in mind. Nice job.

I've had no problem with modifying fenders on my other cars in the past but I don't feel like messing with the GS that much.

Something must be wrong, my cars have no problem with alignment. They are both lowered and have staggered wheels.

I've never heard of a place telling you they can't align your car due to wide wheels, that's retarded if you ask me.

im not saying they didnt offer the service, im just saying they werent able to get the camber to its requires specifications it will still be in the -2%. thats why im saying a need a camber kit to be able to adjust the alingment correctly so they could't provided the service.

Hot car. Makes me want some Vossens.
Its got to be the stretch that makes the tire look smaller. I thought it was a 265/30 rear. I am thinking of changing my rears to a 265/30/20 to reduce the diameter difference. Another option for me would be to run a 255/30/20 front and 275/30/20rear
