2008 RX 400h Rims + Tire Help please!
Hey guys - (new member here, been lurking for a while)
I recently purchased a 2008 RX 400h with about 69,000 miles - it is a great vehicle and very nice on the inside, but I was a little disappointed by the tires / stock rims.
i believe I have 17" tires on right now with the stock lexus rims, and I am looking to upgrade the size.
Based on lurking it seems like 20" tires look the best (in my opinion). So I am wondering what tire is the best to get, and what rims would people recommend?
Right now I am looking at the 20" Firehawk GT Tires

If a soft/luxury ride is important to you, then that's generally going to suffer especially moving from a 17" (225/65-17) to a 20"(245/45-20).
Second thing that may degrade is your fuel economy with another 20 mm of rubber hitting the road.
Needless to say that the 20 inches would be more expensive.

Wheels: Verde Contra - 20x8.5
Tires: Havent decided yet - Firestone is having a nice sale on some tires, so I am going to check them out when the rims come in
