it looks fine stock height. it doesn't look like a 4x4.
it seems dark colors look more like 4x4.

there are a couple people on this forum with silver GS and 20" at stock height

the ONLY reason i went w/ 25 series...it was recommended by the place where I bought it from.
Judging by your guys response.....i guess 25 is a no-no? maybe because easy to damage the rim?

educate me folks...

with a drop, wheels will complement your car even more.. go with the Tein H-tech or something, if you want the min possible drop.

well the only advantage to using a lower profile tire that i see is for clearance issues. and you definitely dont have any issues with rubbing. and unless you drop the hell out of it, you'll probly be ok.

theres definitely disadvantages running a 25 series.....ride quality is one, but rim protection is the biggest. your gonna have to be a little safer driving than normal. the good thing is you didnt get a low quality wheel!! those Wald's will probly take a bit more abuse than a P.O.S quality wheel.

the best advantage by far is the look!!! 25 series are baller!!

with the wheels size and offset you running, 245/35 in front and 285/30 in rears no problems. Over all height is little taller than stock, but you rather be safe then sorry. By the way love those wheels
