Default Question About Putting 22" Rims on a GS430

Hey guys,

Im about to purcahse some 22" rims for my 2006 GS430. Im looking to set a staggered setup. Just wondering how wide in the back I can go? Will 22 x 10 in the back be too wide? Im getting pirelli tires, i would like to run this setup:

245/30/22 - front 22x 9
285/25/22 - back 22 x 10


I really dont want to do any modifications to my bumpers or roll the fenders.

Is this 22" staggered setup too big to do on a GS without doing any mod's?

Should I just go 22 x 9 (245/30/22) all around?

Also please let me know what offset I should be getting

Thanks so much!

you may have to do some work to get them to fit. i had 22s and i was lowered and i had to do a little bit of work to make sure they wouldnt rub and they were 22x8.5 with a 35mm offset all around.

i would say get a 38mm offset for the front and a 45mm for the rear.

I think you are wide as you can go with 22's. GS350on22's is running the same sizes I think. It looks hardcore.

Are you dropped??? If not it shouldnt be an issue to get them to fit, but be ready for mild mods to the fenders just in case. If you drop it you will absolutely need to do some mods.

please don't do it. It looks silly to have 22's on a GS !

Actually it looks silly to have 22's on a car, unless you like the monster truck ghetto look ? To many people put 22's on every car in Miami and it is sooo ridiculous, but atleast I get a great laugh out of it

Go with 19's or 20's. But if you really don't care about ride quality, bending rims, scratching rims, stolen rims, then go with the 22's..
