Default GsAWD new wheels/tires stock suspension pics

Hey all. I'm looking to outfit my AWD gs350 with some new wheels. I would love to lower it but it seems everything will negate warranty and the fsport springs are only for rwd. I want to upgrade the oem 17's but need some ideas. Can any awd owners post pics with upgraded wheels only. NOT lowered. Please indicate size and offset and if yiu experience any issues. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the info but I'd like to see how diff size wheels look on the awd and if they look good with the giant front wheel gap.

by offset do u mean staggered (different width tires in back than front)?? if so then yes, as long as the diameter of all 4 wheels are the same.

Yes I meant staggered. Thank you. Is there an advantage to this or is it strictly cosmetic?

there could be a slight handling advantage since the center differential routes 70% of the power to the back wheels under normal conditions? but i'm pretty sure it's more so for cosmetic reasons.

Hey Buddy, I posted some pics of my AWD at stock height with my old 20s on it. I since lowered it and then raised it again due to the annoying wobble. I now have it at stock height with chrome Lorenzo WL19 on it. I might lower it again, there is a member working on a fix for the wobble. Anywayz, here you go, as requested.
