Check to see if the orifices (3 of them ) are clogged first, Then make sure the line from the pump is clear. Where would I find the orifices and the pump? Thanks!

What's up fellas. I have a minor problem with the pressure of the wiper fluid on the drivers side of my 2000 gs 300. When I try to clean the windshield, the wiper fluid shoots out just fine on the passenger side but doesn't even make it to the windshield on the drivers side. Is there some way to clean it or fix the problem?

Check www.kbb.com for the value.

Hey i have a 2000 gs 300 and the chrome strip on the exterior is starting to come off a little. has anyone ever had this replaced? How much does it cost? Thanks!

Thanks for the info. :) What do you think of hyper black 19" rims on a white gs 300? ← Pretty mean, if that is the look you are going for. :) ← Kool. thanks for all your help. I got a deal on some 20's so I may end up getting them after all. I'll post some pictures when I get them.

If you are doing 19x8.5 all around (or any size all around), you will be limited by the front wheelwell since that is smaller. For a safe conservative setup, +38 would be fine. If you go staggered with a 9.5 rear, +38 would be good there too. If a 10 rear, +42 - +44 would be OK. ← What do you think of these? http://www.tirerack.com/servlet/CallJsp?ta...Special=Pricing http://www.tirerack.com/servlet/CallJsp?ta...Special=Pricing What exactly does the "offset" mean?

Those are not optimal sizes for a GS, considering the OEM 17s already were 8" wide. I'd rather fo 19x8.5 all around then do a staggered with only 7.5 up front. You should get at least 8 up front and 9 in the rear with 8.5 and 9.5 (or 10) being better specs. With that said, the offset is still very important. You can have an 8.5 with an aggressively low offset number and things will not fit. ← Ok so I got the dimensions for the width. What is the ideal offset i should be looking for?

Sounds like you want the fat setup. :) If I was running 19s, I'd do the same. There are times when I contemplate going down to a 19s fat setup but I can't quite bring myself to lose the 20s. It may still happen one day, who knows? ;) If you are running staggered, what widths are you running? Front: 19x8? 19x8.5? 19x9? Rear 19x9? 19x9.5? 19x10? What offsets for the front and what offsets for the rear? In general, a 245/40 front and 275/35 rear would be what you want. ← What's up Neo, The wheels are 19x7.5 and 19x8.5. Are these good dimensions? He didn't give me the offsets for it though.

What's up Neo, I am definitely going to run the staggered set up. I am looking at 19" niche rhine's. So put the 245/40 on the front and back right?

The ride will get stiffer. What are you on now? 16s? The low-profile tires have stiffer sidewalls as well as less of it. Some tires are smoother than others, though. I am hearing good reviews on the Michelin PS2 but they are costly. The other piece is the suspension. If you have less sporty shock/springs or coilovers, it won't be as bad. To me, the best combo (as far as wheels go) for ride quality would be 19s with the "fat" tire setup. With this setup, you will have the same sidewall as 18s but have the outside diameter of 20s. ← Yeah I have 16s right now. My brother keeps telling not to go more than two sizes off of the oem size due to the ride factor. But I do love the bigger sizes. I was thinking about the 19s because they look very much similar to the 20s. Changing the suspension is really expensive isn't it? Like 1500? For the 19s what exactly would qualify as "fat"?

I assume you are upgrading your rims as well. ;) Alhough I like 20s, 19s and 18s are good choices too. Car looks meaner. More rubber in the rear on a RWD car helps to put more rubber to the ground. This means better performance. ← Neo you are the man. One more question. I love the 20's the most also, does it totally destroy the ride? I know it is gonna look beautiful but will it feel like I am riding in a 94 geo Tracker :o if I go that large in size? Thanks!!

I forgot to put that my GS 300 is the 2000 model

Hey I am looking to upgrade my tires. Which looks the best out of the three sizes listed in the title? I would buy 18's but I don't know if they will look funny or not. I know the larger you go the worse the ride quality gets. What is the importance of having the stagger on the tire/rim sizes. Thanks!

i agree about the no nonsense sporty. and yea im looking at dropping it probably like 1.3 or more???? i havent really thought that far ahead.....it kinda sounds like tein cs coilovers will be my best bet ← Hey, When you stagger the size of the rims, what does that do? Does it make th ride better or does it just make the car look better? I am puuting 20's on my GS 300 soon also. Not sure if I am going to lower it or not. The roads in Chicago are full of potholes!!! :(
