Are they OEM GS wheels? Other than the fender flares, did you need spacers?

Our cars are identical, except I have a coupe.

They are OEM GS wheels. I am running 20mm hubcentric spacers on the rear with longer studs. The spacer pushes the wheel out flush with the flare fenders.

Are your CCWs 18' thats why they don't fit on the front?? I wonder if 19' on the front will clear the brakes.
Can you run a 19" CCW on the rear with a lip and still clear the rear brake?? I see a lot of guys running CCWs on the rear with what looks like a 3" lip, but it looks like they have stock brakes??

They look great! I upgraded mine this winter, had to run a 8mm spacer on the front and go with longer stud. I'm running a 19/20 wheel combo the breaks looked too small.

Looks awesome! Personally, I didn't notice much at first after adding C6Z brakes...but after they bed in properly, I did notice a pretty substantial difference in braking power.

I stripped and painted them. I got the black decals from Fourth Circle Designs.
