Default New Owner/ wheels question, please help??

I am a new owner of a 2008 GS 350 fully loaded, NAV w/ ML. I am interested in getting some 20" wheels but I don't want them to rub. I don't plan on lowering the car at all.

So my questions is what size 20" rims and tires is recommended without rubbing?

Thanks guys. Pics coming soon.

congrats on the new ride man. I also went through a dilemma trying to figure out what size will not rub. If you are not going to lower the car I would strongly recommend a 245/35 or a 255/30. They will look nice and will not rub if the car is not lowered. I personally would go with the 255/30/20. Thats what the 3 dealers in town use on their showroom GS's and they look hardcore. The 245/35 will look good, but it a little beefy imo. I like the 255/30 because it still similar to the stock diameter, and it wider than stock. The 245/35 will eat up a little more of the gap, but will also raise the car up a little. I have seen both on local GS's and they both look great. I dropped my car so the concern was rubbing and offset. With a stock suspension you wont have to stress either as much
