Default I Hate Wheels

i cant pick i was looking at the volk racing challenge 19" wheel and found out it only comes in 8.5" size. now THAT pisses me off, because i thought it was 9.5" maybe its updated, because thats the size i want but there is no way i can put up with 8.5" in the back i want at least 9.5" or 10" so i can put on 295/30

see now im pissed because i cant decide, HOW DO YOU DECIDE??

VR Challenges with 19s go up to 9.5. You can go 19x8.5 and 19x9.5.

However 295 tires in the back is one big overkill. Might actually slow your car down.

Default 295's???

Sasha,

Globe is right, I remember a long time ago in the original clublexus forum, Mo from SWIFT actually commented on the correct size of your rear tires for the amount of traction your car needs. Unless you plan on throwing the TT kit and run 450+hp into your GS you will have way too much traction and it will slow you down.
