Default Wheels with stock suspension question

Hello guys,
First let me say hello I am new to this forum and owning a Lexus. I love the car so far and have been reading all the threads here. This wheel thread is awesome but I was unable to find the answer to my question. Can anyone tell me what the recommended wheel size and tire sizes are for a 2008 GS350 AWD? I would like to go to 20's possibly if I can. I do not want to deal with rubbing or bottoming out. As of right now I do not plan to lower the car. I also do not want to mess up the AWD. Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you
Wes

Nothing... I am curious what the biggest wheel and tire combo you can put on without mods.

AWD generally are about .5-1" taller in the front then RWD. You can get away with running a .5" RCA spacer in the front.

I run 20's staggered 245/35/20 275/30/20 before the RCA and with Falken FK453 I didnt rub. But when I added the RCA I did rub and had to trim the fender liners in the front. There are guys who run smaller front and rear tires but I like to have extra cushion for the pot holes.
