I am looking to pickup some rims for the GS430 I just bought, my second lex...

I want to stagger the rim sizes for the look and performance, what are the best sizes if I am planning to keep the suspension mods to about a 1.5 lower with springs, shocks and sways.

I am thinking 19" TSW Kyalami's with 8 in front and 9.5 in the rear. Will this work without other mod to the car?

I have read some people refer to rolling or something like that, is that a fenderwell or fender mod?

Thanks, John.....

I guess I'll add myself to the map and provide a pic of the car soon, still stock but so sweet to be in my new lex...

Here is a shot of my car with 19" Iforged Retro's. I am running 10" rear and 8.5 front. I am dropped with L-tuned shocks and springs. I plan on changing out my tires to a fat set up to get more rubber around them. I have zero rubbing.

Thanks, I like your car, the way you lowered was perfect, just what I am planning on doing.

How much did you lower it and what did it cost to get all of the suspension work done?

I went with WEDS Kranze 19 x 8.5 front, 19 x 10 rear. Lowered the car with Eibach Sport Springs, Bilstein Shocks and TRD Sways. No rubbing, even with 4 people.

Do a search on wheel fitment.

You will find out that there are conservative wheel sizes and specs that will not require you to do any fender mods.

Congrats on the new ride!

I don't know much about the recent TSW wheels - they are typically pretty conservative with offsets.
Do you know what offsets the Kyalamis are? This would help!

There may be more than one offset that works for your car- for example, with a size like 18x9.5 there may be a choice between 18x9.5 +45 and 18x9.5 +30 (or something like that).
Depending on what tire you run you may be able to use the lower offset.

The L-tuned shocks and springs drop it about 1.2". I think the combo was like $400. I can't remember exactly. I do know you can no longer buy the L-tuned shocks but I think the KYB is the same shock. Install is about $350. Most people here on CL have the Tein CS coilovers which give you adjustablity. Also with the wheels, offset is very important along with the tire sizes to avoid any rubbing. My set up is front: 19" x 8.5" with 37et and 245/35/19 Toyo T1R tires, rear: 19" x 10" with 43et and 275/30/19 Toyo T1R tires. I plan on changing the tires to a fat set up which will be a 245/40/19 front and 275/35/19 rear. The fat tire set up will slightly put the overall diameter out of spec., but it will create a more comfortable ride and fill the wheel wells better.

thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'll post some pics once I get the rims and suspension work done.

The TSW's are decent but for 1pc cast wheels, I think the DONZ Columbo or MRR line would be better. (TSW's are on the pricey side IMO)

here are a couple links for your reference
