Nice choice on rims bro I was thinking the same rims but in 20's.... I have no idea how you guys (GS350on22) manage riding on 22' on the Penn Turnpike and the Belt Parkway and being dropped so low. I bent my rims 4 times on my older GS400 and it wasn't even dropped.

lol ive yet to take the car on the high way with the wheels. thats why i have a beater car.

btw mark, thank you for the heads up about the stock overall diameter. i talked to my lexus tech over the weekend about it and he mentioned there might be a way to change it with the scan tool.

Your car looks good alot of people get on big wheels Im with you i think 20s look 2 small I don t even know if i can drop my car with the staggered set up im running, I guess i just have to wait until i get my new offset in a couple of weeks. Did you shave your front fender? Thr only drop i could get away with would be nf210 tanabe

My 2 cents:

I like 19's and 20's with no kit and an aggressive drop, personally. But one of my favorite GS' is the Collectizone GS300 on 22's. This is the car that made me want to go Blacktop. In order to get this clean and have the car "flow" you'll need a kit and a little lower drop.

Something Derrick from D2 told me was you want people to say "Wow, that car looks good" not "Look at those wheels on that car" . That's "flow".

Same here. I saw that GS and said, wow, what a difference shoes and clothes make! I think a kit with 22s would look amazing. I really like the white wheels.
