Wheel offset is +35. Running 215/35 front and 235/35 rear. I'm not flush because I don't want to have to raise the car, since the stance I have right is perfectly low yet its still driveable on american roads, lol. I had to shave the front fenders since I would rub in one spot when I turn the wheel, very conservative shave though. Nothing too extreme.

Yes, I said ghetto. A GS does not look best with wheels sticking out past the fender. Yes this is my opinion....just like it's your opinion it needs a more aggressive wheel fitment. No offense meant to you but I would have left it alone if you had added that your statement was just your opinion.

Again, no offense.

Oh....the car looks sweet to me. LOL

Wow, very nice!!!

...and the car is pretty sweet too.

Seriously though, your car is looking real nice! I always wondered though about people who were dropped with a lip kit: Are you worried about cracking the lip? I know you guys are sporting some expensive pieces of plastic (Job Design, Prussian Blue, etc) and some of the potholes and driveways are pretty steep, at least up here in Toronto....

The girl is cute. She needs to work on her facial expressions though if she wants to be a model.

Nah im not too worried about the kit since it is polyruethane. That stuff is virtually indestructible, although when I ran over a cat a few weeks back it splatterd my front lip in 3 pieces. I would never buy kits that are made of fiberglass or FRP, because they would crack in an instant. This is one of the reasons why you have to pay such a premium for a kit besides the name
