1st Genners with 17" 2nd gen rims
Are you running spacers? I just got my rims put on and they tuck a lot. What size spacer are you running? What size spacer shoulud I get to get the rims out to the fenders? Thanks.

I know that CyberGS3 asked the same question in the wheels forum. I'll post some pics in about an hour after my camera charges so you guys can see what the GS400 rims look like with 25 mm spacers.

Here are the pics of my car with GS400 rims, 245/45/17 tires, Eibachs, and 25 mm spacers.
(it looks like it's not lowered because I just finished jacking up the car and the suspension hasn't settled yet, but normally there's a two finger gap)

Thanks very much! So you're running 245/45 all around? any problems at all?
Can I ask for 1 more pic taken from straight behind and also from rear 3 1/4 view?
Thanks!

I have no problems at all with 245 all around. I heard that 255 will fit, but I would not suggest putting 255 on the front because it might rub the suspension. Here are a couple more pics.

CyberGS3, we have good taste in cars and mods! 
Do you have aftermarket tips and if so, what size are they? Also, is your car tinted? If it is, could you post a sideshot so I could see the windows clearly? Thanks

Yes, the tips are aftermarket...i believe they are 3" round. The windows are tinted with a very light shade. during broad daylight it doesn't look like theres any tint (except certain angles)...it looks darker depending on lighting. I'm using the partial metallic tint (black).
