Default Wheel question

I am curious if I were to put 18x9 up front and 18x10 in the rear on a stock GS 430 with no suspension mods..........would it look ok? Thanks for your input.

DC,

the "look" when it comes to car mods are quite a personal taste. but i would say that most guys here would not recommend larger tyre+wheels with no lowering. one of the reasons is that with even lower profile tyres, in a visual sense, the fender well gap would appeared to be even larger due to thiner side wall. 18x9+10 is a good set up w/245+275 tyres, but the car, would not look too good, or aggressive w/no suspension mods(lowering).

IMHO, no. Too much wheel gap.
