i have a gs300 1999 on megan coilovers. how low can you go with a 20x8.5front and 20x10 in the rear 35offset f&r. im lookin to buy a set of the xxr502 or sportmax 502 will they clear if i want to drop the car or should i stick with 19inch rims? im lookin for that vip/aggresive look.

its all visual. with fender work, you can slam anything.

imho, 20s needs a kit. 19s can work without a kit. both can slam.

by the way, welcome.

i would skip those wheels and find a nice used set after saving up for a little bit and looking in the classifieds on here. sportmax rims will cheapen the look of the GS. It's just not a classy enough rim.

it depends on how much camber and tyre stretch you want to run, plus fender rolling or shaving.

vip/aggressive look = a bit of stretch, a bit of camber (more than "normal") and at least fender rolling, if not shaving.
