Whaddup homie? I prefer 19's because I drive an SC and that's the size that best fits that car.

If I had a GS I'd say 20's...when I had my 240sx I would have said 18's. All depends on the car. But for me right now it's all about 19's...I'd only go with 18's on my SC is they were some sick wheels that I really REALLY liked and if I had coilovers to make the drop perfect. Otherwise I'll stick to 19's

I prefer 19's on skinnies! Proportion, lower car, ride quality, weight, overall look on car.
I only like 20s with a very low drop.

IMO, 16-18 are too small.

Mike, man what's up!? Regarding our last topic - any changes?

It's a done deal man. Not gonna happen. At least not anytime in the near future, which to me means "never" PM me if you need to.

Hey bro, Nice talking to you today @ Baja!!!

I like 20's personally on the GS, but I really, really liked the way yours sat on 19's.... But since you are lower than me , I was thinking 20's would be a better choice.....

Any ideas?

I agree, on the SC 19's are the perfect fit.


On a GS 19s and 20s seem to work well.

Nice wider, 17s, less rolling inertia to deal with. I dunno Im the type of person that would only get bigger wheels for mostly traction purposes.

Not a fan of big wheels, so I voted stock.

Hmmm....I wasn't really thinking of which car. I was assuming all Lexus' so please list what car you drive if relevant.

Thanks Henry!

Likewise - we live right down the street from each other so we can work on our car projects together.

I think you should get 20s only if you plan on changing out your springs for coilovers and getting a body kit. If you plan to put it on airbags like the Junction Produuce GS or leave it as is...then 19s for sure. You saw how my rear lowered when when I sat on the trunk, it's worse with 2 adults, 2 kids, and a trunk full of groceries.
