Default Wheels

I have a question. Do i have the option to make my wheels bigger i want like 20's or something does Lexus sell these ? Or do i have to get them from somewhere else? Will it affect the ride quality of my new ride? The thing that sucks is i would have to buy all brand new tires and everything too then i guess. What do you folks recommend?

Default BC Forged photoshoot

BC Forged did a photoshoot with my GX a few weeks ago because apparently, I’m the first 2020 GX with their wheels. Manufacturing needed to confirm brake sizes and such bc they didn’t have any specs for the 2020. Obviously, we know nothing changed with the refresh, but they weren’t sure. Anyway, the photographer sent me the pics, so I figured I would share a few here. They should be up on their website soon.

As I mentioned earlier, the specs are 18x9 ET0 mounted on 265/65/18 Wildpeaks. No lift.

Yes, you can upgrade your wheels. Head over to tirerack.com.

ride quality will suffer because a larger rim yields less sidewall and your gonna feel the bumps more

I think you could get a nice look and still have a pretty comfortable ride with 20" wheels.

I haven't tried them, but I know they offer 20" wheels on the 4Runner Limited, and the same tire size will fit the GX.

You CAN still have a comfortable ride and have the 20s. Look at the new LX570! It is riding on 22s and you know Lexus wouldn't sacrifice comfort. Go for it

BTURKEL....PRICES? I really dont feel like spending an arm and a leg if i dont have to. What are you gonna do with your stock wheels and tires ? Remember i told you that the dealership is giving me on the purchase agreement rims that will not be more than $1700.00 do you think that will count toward 20's? Or will they say "we dont reccomend you putting your suv on these size wheels because they dont meet the specifications of the vehicle. Also do you have a website where i can see your wheels before i actually see them on your vehicle? Thanks man we gotta meet up sometime! I'm a single dad so i actually have more time on my hands and i run my business from out of my home. I bet you are stoked to get everything your getting. Oh and how much with all the extras is your total coming out to be? Sounds like a lot. Oh and i think my rear left speaker is ALREADY blown! TOO much rattle back there. I have L5 and i think im ready to let loose lol talk to you later man

I do not go cheap on anything. you get what you pay for. I bought my truck because of space and practicality. I needed room. Off roading is not my need. I do not mind sacrificing a little ride for a GREAT look. I am getting a sharp classy look nothing too crazy. The truck will be night and day.
Stock rims wheel either be stored or go up for sale. Total cost of my set of 22" was about $5200, it was worked into the deal so just financed them

Nice and clean! More pics?

Side note- even though I knew this was the GX forum, when i first saw that pic i thought it was an LX. From that angle and with the front of the headlights cut off, i can really see the family resemblance.
