Its a 2000 GS300 Platinum Series, I started searching for GS's after I backed out of the Subaru deal. 11K and this is what I got! WOOT! I had a deck ready to drop in the other car, but since that car didnt happen, it will eventually go into the GS, but for a stock audio system, it hits pretty good (sound quality wise at least) I never knew that GS300 came stock with an 8" sub LOL I didnt take any pics of the trunk, I have about a good 150 cans and bottles of soda and water back there for my office's "snack shack" It help drop the rear a little, makes it look pretty nice.

So Yuta, any suggestions on 19's? I might look at getting some Agio's, but they're pricey and I dont feel comfortable rolling around Sac with them on. My other choice were those Privat Netz, what you think bro?

Ok, I just did a quick search and I just realized that the M6 bolt pattern is a 5x120 instead of 5x114.3... Does the place you go to offer them with a bolt pattern of 5x114.3?

you can actually order the spacer adapters.

ron has them on his Q to fit his 7 series wheels. (which looks ****ing awesome btw)

the place that i know of obviously sells replicas and so im not exactly sure on the sizing, but from brief research i see that they are available in 19x9.5 +17, but to the point, for dope *** fitment you would need a spacer anyways as i would personally love it if you ran 205/40s or possibly 215/40s all around.

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

whoops i meant +20.

and ive been running 205/40 on a 9.5 for like ever, on the front of my 240 and i drive it every day after school on the local mountain.

trust me, you'll be fine.

225 is not going to look good.

True, but then with this heavy of a car, and as big of a car, I feel more comfortable with the wider tire.

The stretched out look is sick as ****, but I dont want to compromise the grip... know what I mean?
