Default Newbee question

Hey guys, I just join you guys few days ago.

I have 06 Gs300 awd now.

I am wanting to change my wheels pretty soon but probably after winter season.

Anyways, my question is what is the typical set up for the wheels and tires?(fitment, offset etc)

I am looking for 19 and 20s. Obviously 20 looks better but I am worried about riding quality.

Help me out here, thanks in advance.

Welcome to Club Lexus!

You can find a lot of different wheels in the wheel thread here.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...el-thread.html

You'll find that most of the members here prefer the 20" variety. I am on 20's as well. Look around. Use the search function and you can find a lot of good useful information.

Another question,

anyone has rays lexion 503 on the GS? (19 x 8.5 +45 with 235/35/19, 19 x 10+45 with 275/30/19?)

I am thinking of getting these but I would like to get some opinion on this set up.

Thanks!

I might regret in the future but I just got those rims and I'm happy with them for now.
