3GS wheel thread

i have a doubt about tire wear on my gs 430. I have 275/30r20 tires on the rear. The wheels in the back have 2inch lips. My concern is my right rear tire has been worn out. Only right rear tire. my left tire is perfectly fine. I had an alignment done on the car in April and my tires had plenty tread. I went to the Goodyear tech where i had the alignment done previously and ask him what was wrong with the alignment. Apparently, the alignment is not the problem because the alignment was perfect. Just in the ranges of what factory states. Does anyone know what could be the problem???? or has this happen to anyone?

fighter... I'm in agreement with #2 because that is the style I'm going with. Iforged and Symbolic have nice 3-piece 5 stars (but too expensive for me). Here are some other options:
1) Enkei (only offset is 40 w/ both 20x8.5 and 20x9.5)
2) TSW (20x10 w/ offsets 25 or 40 and 20x8.5 w/ offsets 20 or 40)
3) Lorenzo (only offset is 35 w/ both 20x8.5 and 20x9.5)
Not sure if these offsets work or not.

driv 20s
2006 GS300 RWD, Quartz Shadow Metallic
Wheel Name: Drive Moonshine 5
Size: 20x8.5
Offset" ?
Tire Size(s): Nitto NT555, 235/35/20
Suspension mods: Tanabe NF210
Pros: reasonable price for wheels and tires, ride is pretty close to stock, only 2% over stock diameter, no rubbing issues
Cons: not to many choices of tires in sizes 235/35, rim sticks out of edge of tire so no room for error on curbs

- Like the 5 spoke design
- Still wanted comfort but also performance and looks
- Mild drop with NF210s but took away some wheel gap
- Went with a non-staggered setup so that I can rotate tires
- 235/35 instead of a 245/30 to avoid a rougher ride

Hey guys! I'm a newbie to this thread and I found it while googling Lexus GS wheels. I have 4 bent wheels... (don't ask) on a '07 GS350. I HAVE to buy new wheels. It's black on black and I want something nice, classic, and something with style at the same time. BTW, i'm Female LOL. I drive to work 30 miles one way, so I would like something that is stable and can last me years. Any suggestions? I'm looking to buy this week. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I like the black wheels with chrome lip but I'm thinking that might be just a fad and may not last too long. Don't laugh at me but I was looking at some rims from Ace Alloy? I like the Passion set LOL. Is that a good choice? Yes, I sound desperate but i ned HELP! Thanks so much - k

If you can afford the time, hold off on your purchase until you've had a chancesto do a little more homework. No good decisions are made in haste. Do you have a set of stock wheels you can put on the car until you buy aftermarket wheels?

Thanks so much for your warm welcome Twenty!
The wheels that I have now are stock and they're the ones that are bent. It's drivable but it needs to be repaired so I was looking into purchasing some wheels and getting those repaired later on. If you could direct me somewhere that would be great. 20's are out of the question... I'm a baseball/football/basketball mom and I can't be rollin' around like that LOL. 18's it is.
