Maybe that just means you're a big body.

My GS300 with Work Equip DDC's, KYB GR-2's w/ DF210's. Didn't go with 19s or 20s because of the nasty roads in Michigan. I like the comfort and quiet ride with the suspension and 18s. Less rolling mass to stop and they're easy on the lower ball joints

18s are fine..19s are perfect..u can tuck tire with a lil more ground clearance..tucking tire on 18s can cause lots of problems to ur undercarriage

That's why I have OEM 18's. Since they have no lip, they actually look bigger than aftermarket 18" wheels.

18's are too small for the GS.

I'm considering 18's as well. How much would a decent set of used OEM rims run these days?

It looks like most of the people on 18's also have no suspension.. Either that or even with springs there is a lot of wheel gap.
