Default I know I know....almost a 2-year old thread...

What's up fellas- sorrry to bring back the "OG" post about the 20" Venza swap on our 2GS models... but, I just wanted to say --> ISTUNDRA, Dayaaaamn man, that looks BAD ***!! On a Sport Design GS3, too...that's seriously sick. 1/2 narrower...Ehh, whatever. I LOVE the looks of that. If I wasn't such an aftermarket (WHEELS) freak, I'd probably try to grab a set of these for my GS.

My buddy wants to get a set of the 20" Venza wheels for his 1-gen RX... He has the 18" RX330 wheels on his '00 RX300...def helped to "update" the looks of this his older RX. I like the shape of the 1st-gen RX's better, I think. Love that green mirror tint, too!

ANYWAY...POST SOME MORE PICS IF YOU CAN! (unless there's another thread, if there is- MY APOLOGY, I'm on my Netbook..and it's going slow tonight for some reason...)

Yep, this is true. I had a set of 225/30's on my 1994 Grand Am GT (5-speed.."High Output Quad 4" <-- all rare, lol) But, anyway, I still have them and have hub centric rings for the Lexus, too....but I would put them on my 430. NO WAY... Not enough rubber...235/30's for the Venza wheels is PERFECT! Nice choice, Jimmy. SERIOUSLY LOOKS SIICCCKKK BRO!

My '01 GS430 OEM wheels have 245/45's on them, instead of the 235's...and I like them better. A little more sidewall, and almost an extra half inch of width. Overall diameter on my OEM 17 X 8's with the 245's on them is 25.7".
I just ordered a set of 20 (8.5 wide, all four....maybe doing staggered next season) But the size on them is 245/30's...ONLY WAY TO GO, imo. Overall diamter is 25.8". PERFECT.

And, helll yeah- iSOMNiAC def agree with you about the 245/35's.
You guys know that 245/35 was the FIRST and SMALLEST (and always has been one of the most common 20" tires sizes) and honestly, they're just a TAD too big to fit PROPERLY on the GS. Overall diamater is 26.2
(compared to 25.3, OEM)- almost 1 full inch taller. (which also will make your car sit almost 1/2" higher, too! F THAT...lol)

I just looked and realized that the diamater of the (STANDARD) 225/55/R16 size tire on the 2nd-gen GS is the same as the 245/45/17 size...25.7".

Anyway...these 245/30's should be just about perfect. I'm so pumped!

Hey istundra, is your 2GS dropped or suspension altered in any way ??

Or is that how my 2GS will look too after I slap 20"s on it ????

Thanks,

Czr =)
