Hey guys, yes... I know..its heresy I've seen majority of the people with 19's and 20's, and probably a reason why they run 19"s and 20" because of the look, but was wondering, is there anyone running any 18" aftermarket wheels with a drop?

The only reason I ask is I had 19's and 20's on my previous GS, and just driving around So cali freeways and stuff it was just too hard, feeling every bump etc.. On the 19's I would run 245/35/19 and still felt harsh coming from a 245/30/20.

That's why I was thinking if i run 18's, I can still probaby keep alot of the comfort of the lexus ride. Any suggestions?

If anyone has any pics of 18" aftermarket wheels setups on our 3rd gens, I'd like to see them. I did a search already but found little to nothing heehehe, thanks

Yeah...you hit the nail right on the head. I highly doubt you'll find many, if any at all on this board.

Though I don't know if you count option wheels from Lexus as "after market".

thanks guys for the pics and respones, I guess it will depend on the wheel design itself. Hmm..any other pics or links?

agreed if you want good looking 18" wheels stick with the stock 5 stars.

lol whlkev, thats why i was debating ! lol 19's and 20's are obivously much nicer looking but the ride for me is just too harsh running 30/35 series tires on so cali freeways etc. So I figure at least I can run like... a 245/40 and get a good amount of cushion because its my daily driver.

I also figure, If I can get some good coilovers and run the 18"s it would be perfect. I'm not into that rim tucked stuff just a clean simple but bad a$$ look lol
