Yes, it looks like though I have never heard of that brand of wheels before.

Thanks Sick..

They are made by Armano. I believe they are probably a Lorinser knock-off. I have seen these wheels in 18" on a blk GS400 and they were the shiznit!!

Not too deep but definitely showing enough lip.


Thanks again!

yup they will fit. if the car is lowered enough, you will rub the outside edge of the fender, and also the top of the front wheel well

Rom,

I was thinking about going with the H&R Springs.. 1.4"/1.3" drop front to rear.

Will this solve the rubbing issue?

Thanks

no this will not solve the rubbing issue, actually it will cause it,,,,,,,,,,,rom said that if u lower it with a 35 offset and a 255 tire then u will rub and he is definately correct, if anything go with a 245 tire, will help u out a little bit................just to let u know the 35 offset will look kinda weird cuz it will stick out agressive in the front and hang in, in the rear

yup, blue said it all. 255 are wide, and putting it on 8.5 +35 that will create quite some problem imho. with 245 you are much better off, probably eliminate most of the rubbing

Ok 245 it is!

But tell me this, if I go with the 245, could I still get the H&R springs or with this combination still rub?

The alternative is to go with the 245 and keep the stock height which will look weird because of the gap.

thoughts?

it will be a lot better. for reference, i have 8.5 +32 with 245, and i rub slighting on the edge. and that's with a lot of lower to less than a finger gap in the front. so with just a little drop you shooting for i think it's relatively ok.

but don't expect zero rub though, i think you will still rub if you hit a big enough dip. also, you might still hit the top part of the wheel well, but that's "normal" for 20s on the gs from what i see.

and also, when you do full hard lock turns (left or right), you will rub the front / back of the wheel well

Well, I guess a little rub it is, only other thing to do is check if the wheels come in a diff offset or get another wheel.

I will post pics when I get it sorted out. Stay tuned!

Thanks guys for all your help!!
