To those who have added aftermarket 17" or 18" rims up front, what offset did u use? Would it be possible to use a 9" wide rim?? I know the stock offset is 50mm but not sure if 8.5" or 9" wide would work with this offset. Thanks!!<br><br>Jeff H<br>1998 GS400

I would stagger my wheels. I have 17x8.5 in the front, and 17x9 in the back (since it is rear wheel drive, and you want most of your rubber in the back). Pros - Your car has more grip, and has a more aggressive look, and it handles better. Cons - you can't rotate your tires from front to back. Also if you ever think of upgrading to Supra TT 4 caliper front brakes, then you want to get a Supra offset in the front. The Supra TT front brakes are a direct bolt on replace of the GS400 front brakes but you need at least a 17" rims (and that is cutting it close, I would only do it with 18" and up), but your stopping distance increases by 45%. I get my car back from SRT this week, and will post before and after pics of all my mods.<br><br>Lee

Lee,<br><br>i HOPE you meant your stopping distance DECREASES by 45% with that brake upgrade!!!<br><br>jusmuh2centz<br>-amber

My Bad!!!! LOL I meant to day decreases. <br><br>I just got off the phone with SRT, and hopefully the car will be out by Sunday. I am looking at probably 435 to 450 hp running at 7.5lbs of boost!<br><br>I have a date with a 2001 M5, and it should be interesting, especially since he doesn't know what I am having done. Hopefully he won't hear the whistle sounds of my Supercharger.<br><br>Lee

LOL<br><br>You know what I'm TRYING to say (day)!!!<br><br>LOL

That is an impressive improvement in braking performance. Could you provide the befor and after stopping distances?
