Welcome,

First you want to decide on what kind of style wheel you want. Dish, 5 spoke, mesh, multispoke or etc. Usually 19's you can run a wider wheel vs tire width compared to 20inch since the fender clearance is more with the 19 inch wheels+tires.

Also whether you want to roll your fenders to fit a wider wheel or larger lip. There is a bunch of manufacturers domestic and imported, make sure who ever sell them to you has a warranty backed brand and also check to see if they have a good rep.

I don't mean to hijack your thread but... ...Me tooo. looking for advice on rims. I like the staggered Deep Dish look and also the 5 spoke. Something with lip, and in a 19. I dont' really want to roll the fenders, I wan tit as "driveable" and possible.

I've been told that if you have the right offset, rubbing won't be an issue. Go low profile tires, obviously, if you're gonna go with 20s, and also 19s in my opinion (I don't like the fat setup).

Welcome to CL.....Well, i would contact D2 for all your wheel and tire needs....I'm about to buy my second set of wheels from him and the service and knowledge that D2 gives is outstanding.... I will be selling my 20's very soon They are DOnz Columbo 20x8.5 and 20x10 staggered no fender modding and they look very sharp with the lexus.... Take a look on D2's website for more info.... Also i will post a recent pic of the wheel very shortly Good Luck...

Wheel choice is a tough one, finding a style you like out of all of the choices isn't easy. Each wheel can make or break the look you are going for. The technical details can be made an easier decision by using D2 as mentioned or other known vendors. I've been looking at wheels for over a month now and I "think" I have made a choice for next spring.

To answer your question, D2 is a vendor( D2 AUTOSPORT),that support Clublexus with wheel purchases. The contact person would be Derrick. The staggered set up means that you would have a different size wheel in the front compaired to the rear. This set up gives your car a more aggressive look . There are pro's and con's to this set up! With this set up you will not be able to rotate your tires as you normally would,due to different tire sizes in the front and rear. The staggered set up does look a lot better on the GS,depending on what wheels you select. Contact, Derrick at D2 or click on their thread in the vendors marketplace in the forum. Welcome to CL and good look! -wringo
