Hey AKXX, how much for ur wheel setup? Those Shallen's are very nice, but maybe a little deep for me to spend, right now.. I might go with the Lexion's ones, they look like the LX, but the price tag is a little cheaper

I received my Tire & Rim package from TR on friday @ 6:30PM, I had them put on at a local NTB.
On my way home I noticed a very bad vibration around 55MPH
I called the shop and they advised that I toqued the bolts which did not make much difference.
I took the car back and had them rebalance the wheels, this made it a lot better but I still get the pulsation on the steering at any speed over 55MPH?
The Rims are the brand new 18x8 Sport Edition ST4 by Tire Rack
The Tires are the 235/50ZR-18 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDWS .....

It's all about patience, and I had been searching and waiting for 6 months. Picked them up brand new, but had to be sold as used since tires had been mounted and wheels had been installed on a vehicle. If you're patient, I'll bet you can pick up some used Shallen's for 2k or even less. New was out of the question for me--$3k.
How is the fitment? Any rubbing issues?

Fitment is about as far outboard as you can get without rubbing without fender mods--running the tire sizes I have there is a very slight tire stretched appearance. No rubbing in the rear at all. Fronts will rub in tight turns combined with bumps in road surface when air suspension is set as low as shown in the pics. Slightly higher setting on the air ride and no rubbing at all.

what widths are on ur GS.....
the offset has nothing to do with brake clearance, as Dutch is demonstrating, its more a factor of Disc clearance (high/mid/low) and spoke shape/curvature.

sportmax (yeah, I know they're cheapo rims) 962's 18X8.5 f, 18x9.5 r,
falken FK-452's in 245/40-18 f, 245/45-18 rear
the rears are a little streched, and overall it looks great, the backs have a suprisingly fat lip, and the wheels are really light have help up remarkably well for the abuse I put them through (and especially for the price!)
