GX470-Man

With all of you well-educated experts out there, someone must be able to identify these wheels:

Also...

1) What is the maximum wheel size I can put on a Lexus GX470? 22, 24, 26?

2) What size tires would you recommend / should I be using for 22, 24 or 26?

3) Is the stability f/ roll-over actor significantly impacted with 22, 24, 26? I would assume so, but, please give me your feedback.


Thank you in advance for your help!


Cheers.

Hello,
If I was you I wouldnt go above 22". I have 22 on my GX right now. Tire size you can do 275/45/22. I woudnt do bigger size. Check tirerack.com

Thank you very much for the response. I agree that I probably should not go higher than 22". However, please help me understand why this is your recommendation. I'm learning, so... hook a brother up! = )

I have 22's as well and personally think that they are perfect for the GX. Anything bigger will probably not go over well on this forum (it took a couple of years for people to catch on to the 22's around here). That being said, it is up to you and your personal preference.

On a side note I wonder if this is a pshop or if they somehow greyed out the reflectors up front...I like it!!!

Back to your question...these look like 24's

Also, the wheel is an Asanti wheel...AF134...

Quick question how do you run 305 tires? I have 275/45/22 and mine rub a little bit when I turn wheels.

cmarshack

You may not have the right off-set on your wheels. 275/45 may come out to be a little taller than 305/40...I am not sure and do not have time to look it up right now, but these could be the reasons your 22's rub.

BTW, mine rub very slightly on the inner fender liner when fully locked out in a turn a while hitting a bump (like making a hard turn into a driveway). But nothing bad at all.

So... have you purchased yet?? Post some pics!!

i had the same question, cause i wanna get 22's but im not sure about the right tire size so that i don't rub! and this might sound stupid but what exactly is the offset and what should it be with 22's to prevent rubing??

I have 24" boss 330's on my gx with a 15 offset with a 295/35/24 falken tire, I have no clearance problems at all. I am putting 26" asanti wheels on with the same offset with a 295/30/26.

Dayuuum 26" are going to be huge! Put up some picts when done

26 inch will be very rough ride. Not to mention that if you get into the dip pothole you might bent your wheel.

I understand the visual aspects of going to 22s. What is it like driving with this size tire? Can somebody describe it there is a different feel and what that feel is relative to the stock size of 17 inch. do you buy them for looks and getter better performance on the street. Of do you buy for looks but give up some things? If so what are the pros and cons? Obviously I am referring to street performance. Thanks,
