Default Wheel/rim ideas? GS 400

Well I have my eye on some Axis mod wheels 19x8 all around... after talking to Neo he recommended 245 40's or 245 35's.. I want to keep somewhat of a smooth ride but i know thats hard as you get higher in wheel sizes..

What do you guys think of this wheel on a pearl white car... If anyone has any pics please feel free to chime in... or any other ideas would be great to....Thank you Tony

Wait a minute my tires now are 235 45 17. I think i would atay with 235 not 245. the 245 would be thicker tire. So i think 235 instead of 245

well overall i think the axis wheels are decent.....if you have a more money to spend on wheels....look into iforged/hre.....as far as specs of wheel go....if you go with 19s...go with a staggered setup...I guarantee you'll thank CL later (ex. 19 x 8.5; 19 x 10)...as far as tire specs...if you want to go within specs....go with 245/35/19 for fronts...275/30/19 for rear....and if you want fat setup go with 245/40/19 for fronts and 275/35/19 for rears....I hope that helps...

just stick with 245. it ha better traction and it's not really much taller than the 235. it's a good tradeoff
