Default buying tires for the GS after mods....

any suggestions on the best tire for my GS430 with factory chrome 17" wheels? i've dropped it with L-Tuned shocks and springs and have been riding on 245-45 from pre-L tuned days.

i'm thinking 255/45 to close the remaining wheel well gap but not sure if they would rub.

yokahama, michellin, goodyear, goodrich ??? thanks for the input.

It will not rub on the outside. I will need to wait for someone more experienced to say if it will rub on the inside or not. I don't think it will.

Still, 255 might be too wide for a x8 rim.

Can't help too much on the size but I just put on Goodyear F1 GS-D3, and after Pirelli, Yokohama, and Michelin, I like the Goodyears the best.
