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?
Sounds like to me that you may have a toe in/out issue on the right/rear. Camber is not adjustable. The only thing left that comes into play is toe. Toe can be the death of a tire, more than what camber can do. How many miles did it take for the tire to get this way?

agree, that's what i was thinking too, toe setting is probably way off on the right. but then he said the goodyear tech said everything is good, so i wonder what's "good"

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)
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
im looking at running a 245-30-20 Front and 275-30-20 Rear setup on some Neeper Flow Chrome wheels... The car is at stock height and im afraid to lower the car because i dont want to screw with my warranty... is anyone running this setup on a stock height 2006 GS430?? The tires will be VREDESTEIN ULTRAC SESSANTA
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

Hey K, Welcome to CL!
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?
