Default New IS300 to the club!

So I've been a member on CL for a while now, just never posted any pics of my ride! So here they are

2002 IS300 GGP 5-spd manual w/ LSD, 19x9.5" ADR rims, and OEM spoiler.

Bought it with 92,000 miles and it currently has 95,000.

Love the car dude. Those wheels are a real nice addition. I am going to ask a real noob question since I am new to the Is300 but what does GGP mean?

theres always room for a drop...

and besides a little rubbing never hurts.

GGP- graphite grey pearl. many people when describing their cars use the abreviated paint name. IBP- intensa blue pearl is another example. Also the reason I bought my IS300 is because of the GGP paint color.

Looks great! Like the aggressive offset on the rims. Lower it a little

Correction: 19x9" rims.... not sure what I was thinkin putting 9.5 lol.

Yeeeahhh... it will definitely rub when I drop it. I have 225/35zr19's on it now and I HATE how the tire is concaved in a little bit (away from the outter edges) so I'm gonna see if I can squeeze some 235's in the front without rubbing the springs. What suggestions do you guys have for tire sizes???

Should I go with 245's out back and 235's up front? I think my offset is somewhere in the high 30's to low 40's I cant remember...
