Default Hi all!!

Well i just picked up a 2006 silver on black full load ge 430!! im pumped.
What i need help with is .... wheel size, i want to run 20'' wheels but then does it need to be lowered? I dont want to ruin the nice ride.

also i want to run my i pod.
also ive heard of some neet headlight mods to fogs and running lights with a simple bulb replacement.

i also want to update my nav and unlock all options when rolling!!

any pics of 430s on 20'' wheels would be great!!!

thanks all!!

You ve come to the right place its all here Vais is the ipod integration, 20s look great with an aggressive offset but will need to lower it 1-2 inches to get any love around here. The nav hack and while in motion mods are in the mods thread use the search, and the wheel thread will be usefull in picking wheel and tire size as far as offsets and style you can get ideas from there too good luck and post pics!!!

you think your GS has a nice ride? I think my GS 300 awd rides like a truck over most broken pavement. And i have General UHP tires, not the dunlop run flats. It really should ride softer, given it's a Lexi.

welcome to clublexus, congrats on your car!

you should definitely spend some time to search around for info, there are tons of stuff around. 20s are ok on the car, you just need to know how you want it to look and thus the offsets and widths. imho all cars have to be lowered for larger wheels to look good anyway

navigation override and vaistech, a lot of us here go through prestigious for the module, you can email chung@prestigioussociety.com. some people do wire cutting for the override, so it's your choice
