GS4Will, Is that a problem? forgive me for my lack of education but I was looking at these for a 98 GS400, and it sounds as if you are saying they won't fit. Would they fit my ride?

K..sure they would fit no problemo..the reason i said that is because most guys who mod cars, eps the GS, which is FR car, front engine, rear wheel drive, like to go stagger, for look and hhandling..usually we prefer say, 8+9/8.5+9.5, or 9+10 width

you can certainly go 18x9(f+r), and do 245/40/18 for tyres...this way you can rotate tyres too...

Default 18's

AND.. for a touch... add a set of H&R 25's on the rear like I have. It adds a little sportiness......

I got those mounted on my silver GS late last week. They look great but I definitely need to lower the car. A side note: Discount Tire scratched one of my rims and I am going in to have them send it out and fix it (free, obviously).

So, I will take a picture of the car when the rim is off (you will be able to see the stock 17 in back and the new 18 up front without having to photoshop). Perhaps this is the silver lining to the mishap. I'll post pictures tomorrow or Wednesday.
