Has anyone fitted 20" rims on a GS 300 Sports MK II or seen it on such a GS?

I really like Adrians car (bluelex), some pics.

personaly - I think its a bit too big for the car - 19s are probably a nicer size

the car above is also lowered on Tein CS coilovers, so is lower than standard too - a bit too low for my liking, especially at the front.

and one with 19's

I am waiting on 20" spinners to be delivered for my MKII Sports GS300 today and I am wondering whether I made a bad decision. The choices I saw in 20s were much better than the 19s.

doesn't sound like you made a bad decision then.

its only MY opinion that 20" is a bit too big, and you are not buying them to make me happy

as long as you like 'em


What suspension do you have mate?

Would imagine 20" wheels on standard suspension would look strange - would be too high.

have you lowered the car?

I have not lowered it, but as it is Sports I am hoping the 18mm lowering at the factory is enough

Definately without a doubt. I am off to get it done now

The guy i bought my 18" sport wheels off had put 20" rims on a MK2 sport. Looked good and had left the suspension standard. Only thing was he had to loose the front inner wheel arches to get full lock. He did in the end get the front arches rolled as they rubbed a little when going over speed bumps but not when cornering on roundabout's etc.
hope this helps.

hello
i was wondering if you wanted to sell your 18inch rims

I have put the 20 "" rims on the MK II GS 300. They fitted quite easily. However due to the inner design of the rims I had to put 3mm spacers on the front wheels to stop the caliper rubbing on the inside of the rim. The tyres are 225/30/20s.

There is nothing wrong with the turning circle and it looks really bad.

Sorry there is no pictures as yet as it is the first time I will be putting a picture of my car on the website I want it to be really clean, sparkling and fresh so I will wait until i clean it on the wekend.

I usually get looks from other people when I am driving or parked but since putting these rism on the car it has taken it to a horrific level.

I think everyone shoudl put 20"s on the GS 300 it fits easily and nice and you would not notice the difference whilst driving apart form big holes in the road and the poeple looking at your car.

The pictures will be worth waiting for.

One of the spinners was scratched so the dealer returned it and I shoudl have that tomorrow. All the attention the car has gotten is without spinners on it, so far!!

I have now got the pictures, all ready, of the rims and of the car with the 20" spinners but I have had to make enquiries on how to get it on the website. Alternatively if there is anyone out there who have the ability to put pictures on this forum could they please give me their email address. I will then email them the pictures and they can upload it to the forum for me.

thanks to anyone who sees this and can help.

Thank you very much matthew.

I acnt wait to see what feedback I get.

BLINGADDYBLING!!!

not my cup of tea I'm afraid - not a fan of chrome or spinners

but - they do fill the arches nicely, and I don't think you need to lower it mate (I was a bit worried that bigger wheels on stock suspension may make the car look a bit high of the road).

whats on your fule cap mate? is that an (L) logo?


nice colour, and nice and shiny too

I got the boot badge for the lexus and stuck it on the fuel flap. The rims i think look better without the spinners when it is parked but once you start to drive it with the spinnesr on it becomes really crazy.

I like it
I take it you have the older sport which is lowered already?
very very bling

Yep it is a 1999 GS Sport with Sat Nav and HID lights, comes already lowered. Bought it 2 years ago with only 11,000 geniune miles. It now has 27,000 miles.

I personally, don't like them ...... however they are Very BLING BLING!

I have been in the states and seen them. They always draw my attention but it has not caught on here as yet. But I hope to be a pioneer in it.

Just been looking on GS forum, you mentioned this in a nother link

thought would say car is looking very nice

finally the pics are up...

they look very bling bling, but i'm not sure why it isnt quite pulling it off right in mind.

i mean check out this 430

wheels are similar to yours but it seems to have pulled it off much better.. maybe its the bodykit and chrome grill just giving ya an excuse to spend more doh

PS where you and henry at Gaydon 04? Really like the petrol cap mod.

anyways bring her down to JAE we need more GSs and you can get feedback from potentially over 20'000 people

Welcome to the UK forum.

the black GS 300 above on this thread is mine. I have fitted 20" x 8.5" and have no problems with it. I do not know if your lowering of the car is going to affect it. Mine is the GS 300 Sport which is lowered by the UK dealer before sale.

UKDentonGS300

I had 20'' chromes and granted they looked pretty smart but just caused damage to the front arches by constantly ripping off the moulding and subsequently taking chips out the paint.
I swapped them for Lexus 18'' (dunno the name) and if you look at my wee website [url="http://andrew-campbell.magix.net/"]http://andrew-campbell.magix.net/[/url] and click on new album, you`ll see a comparison of how the car looks with both sets of wheels. I think the Lexus are much better and the car handles and feels so much better with the 18s. They won`t do as much gamage to the suspension either. it has an Eibach 'pro' suspension as the only mod'.
