You can check ebay or criges list and even the the dealers for takeoffs. They even have replicas that looks the same for less money....

Would 235/40/18 be okay on these 8" wheels? I think 245/40/18 is recommended.

Thanks!

Should fit just fine since you are actually going 10mm narrower on the tire. Any reason for that? Are you getting a good deal on 235/40?

Someone on the island is selling new Continental tires for $300. I thought it was a good deal.

I have a new set of '06 GS430 wheels like you. I like the way yours looks with spacers. Could you go lower without rubbing?

One of my favorite pics of the 3GS wheel on a 2GS. I would DEFINITELY rock these for my winter setup.

LOL. Thanks man. I'm looking around for another set of wheels to kind of switch it up once in a while. I have 20's but trying to sell those. Now I'm in the market for 19's.

235/40 should work better if you plan on slamming the car more than I did. I only rub right now when I go up/down steep driveways and my wheels are turned. Other than that, not much rubbing. Judging by where the outer edge of the where the tires sit and the suspension geometry, if I went even lower, I think it would tuck and clear without rubbing the fenders. I want to go lower but I do have a full car a lot of times so I don't want to be super-slammed!

anyone have pics of a 2GS with these in chrome on it?

Especially in chrome. I found a good deal on 3 chrome ones $200 for 3 of them with toyota branding on it, with nearly new tires. now the catch is finding a single CHROME rim.
