Just my opinion but a 1st Gen GS is not a car for "DUBS". Most people that own these cars run 19's or smaller. 20's can be done tastefully, but beyond that it starts to look like the Donk thing, and the GS300 is too wonderful a car to do that to. This is only my opinion, take it for what it is worth.

I agree. 22s are abit much for the GS. 20s would be the highest I would suggest. A friend ran Lumari 20s on his 1st gen GS with an LS offset and the worked great. I do like the wheel you posted, but for a 98+ LS400

I haven't really looked at the tires separately yet. Been looking at the combo set of 4 rims n tires.

You may want to do that before you buy those wheels. Usually, odd sized tires cost ALOT. 19 tires cost more than 20s. Plus very few cars run 21s so used tires are hard to come by. Think about it before you commit.

22s will make it look DONK. I have 20s and would not go any bigger on a 1GS.

I think 22s are way to big for the 1st Gen GS. 20s at the most and they have to be the right 20s! But like rapollon said do what you want!! Its you car and at the end of the day you are the only one who has to like it.
