If you lived in japan or are a fan of import tuning then you may understand more

Mine's a GS 400, not a 300... sue me.

These are
20x9.5 255/30-20
20x11.5 305/25-20

Fenders were pulled and lips were cut off.
New wheels are moving out another 5mm.

Now that's the proper way to run a set of wheels. Only real reason to get wider rims is to run wider tires. If you wanna run 235/245 or whatever you run, might as well stick to the 8.0-9.0"
