Help (stock rim sizes on the oem gs300)
#5
With my stock rims 16X7.5 (50mm offset)...I ran 245/50 16 Pirelli PZero Nero M&S last year.
The fit was perfect, no rubbing, event at full turns (I am lowered 1.5 by the L-Tuned Springs/Shocks). This gave the car a Fatter look all around. The Lexus ride was still there.
the car felt quicker as well because of the shorter overall diameter + 245 footprint.
Chicago winters have me running 225/55 16 Dunlop Winter Sport M3s and the look is back to the "regular guy" look.
245/50 will fit with no problem. + sweet look...

Since KRGS4 did it on his, apprently it will "fit". I would not do it since the rim width and tire width has a bigger diference than I'd like. Ultimately, it is your car so you can make the call.
As for 215/40? Why that size? It will make the wheel outside diameter too small compare to the OEM 215/60. I really don't see any benefit other than you are going to be lowered a little but that is not the best way to do it.

yea, i dont want any lower, im already too low haha

Anyway, if you are planning on OEM 16, I'd stay with 225/55 or if you want to push it 235/50 (although this is not optimal). If you want to play on the wild side, then 245/50 like KRGS4. The 245/50 is actually a better size in terms of diameter. It is closer to OEM spec but on a 7.5 rim, I'd be hesitant to put it on.
At the end of the day, though, it is your car and your call.
The 40 series is more performance oriented but in order to effectively run that size, you really need to be running 18s.
