Default My new 20 inch Donz Costellos

20x8.5 34 offset and 20x10 42 offset. I just got to snap one pic of my new wheels. This is the rear wheel with a 4 inch lip. My choice of tires is Pirelli 245/30R20 up front and 285/25R20 in the rear. I will snap some more pic soon when i test fit the wheels.

Nice wheels & tires. Those are the same brand/size tire I plan on using on my '06 GS 430. I have been debating on the Pirelli and the Continental's. If you don't mind me asking what did you pay for the tires, and who/where did you get them from? Can't wait to see this set-up on your ride (hint, hint...PICS!). Do you have a 2GS or 3GS?

30 series front and 25 series rear tires? That is a small sidewall. These are the same wheels that are on the blue Bently that D2 posted right? Post pics when you get them mounted

Congrats on the wheels, the DONZ are a great forged wheel and I personally like the style of the Costello, I would like to see them on your car as I think they will look cleaner in 20" (the Bentley has 22")

Its so funny when my client picked up the 22x10.5 rear wheel, he was ASTOUNDED at how light is was!!! It literally is lighter than the OEM wheel! LOL We have a great relationship with DONZ forged, we ordered the wheels on Monday afternoon and I was inspecting them at 11am on Wednesday!! lol

I would love to do a set of these in Brushed Aluminum on a 3rd Gen GS!

Here is a quick pic of the bucket that we put the Costello's on: (lol)

Will Donz straighten them back out after he hits his first pot hole or steel plate covering a construction hole?

I have 255/35-20s and I HATE the thin sidewall.Its been a nightmare for me since I drive my car all over town day in and day out.
They were on the car when I bought it, but when I have to buy new ones I'm going to 245/40-20s I NEVER had a problem with that size on my other car.

I can tell you this if you buy the right wheels and maintain the right pressures, you will have no isses. That Bentley weighs about 5100 lbs and rides around on 30 and 25series tires in Brooklyn NY (pothole capitol of the world) with NO issues.

As for you tire sizes go, 245/40-20 will NOT work on a GS, thats the spec for a totally different type or vehicle.
