a BBK would fill the space behind the wheel nicely

Yeah, for a second it reminded me of an LS.
I'm still not a fan of 22's on the GS but this looks decent.
The kit and drop help a heck-uv-a-lot.

please post more pics of your car . I love them.

Do you have any other shots you can share with us??





your car should be in a magazine. Its hardcore to say the least.

I will say it again......22's are not to big for the GS when you have it set up like you do. The car is slammed with a bodykit. It looks perfect in every way

Right here bro, its definitely hard! Hope to get coils in the spring!!!! With it slammed that low I would imagine making turns is pretty tricky. Is it bagged?

I love HRE wheels - have a set of their P40 mono block in brushed on one of my other cars... but only 19's

To me and others the wheels do look to big it does not look proportional. 22's usually look like Spud Webb wearing size 20 shoes. The GS is a big body car but it is not that long, it only grew .2 inches over the 2GS.

The OP somehow, incredibly, managed to pull it off in a way that is pretty classy. I am still amazed at how well he pulled it off in those pics. Most GS's with 22s do not pull it off half as well as he did. It would be very hard for anyone to dislike what he has done.

Clearly what he is running is maybe one of a kind. 22" HRE wheels on a modified GS. He clearly wins the "WOW" award.

Personally I like 22's on the LWB LS only, on the SWB LS it looks disproportionate.

I am also interested in more pics as it is really a pretty amazing piece.

i think it's all about the drop and the stance, very important. the body kit helps too. any miss in one of those and the car would look funny.

there was another 3gs with 22s (smokey graphite i think) and that car was done right as well. a lot of drop and that makes the 22s look better

I'm not scared. I just think it's in poor taste to cut up the fenders. 22's just don't fit. Just like I tell the boost junky's...it needs to be done right. If someone wants 22's, they should get their fenders professionally refabricated. Yes, I'm talking about spending money to do the thing right. You'll hear my tune change bigtime when I see someone step up.
