Personally, after looking at tons of pictures of GS's on this forum, 20's are the way to go, 22s just look ridiculous on this luxury car.

Also, looks like you have an F-sport. Why get an F-Sport if you can't drive it like it's meant to be driven? On 22's it will not handle well enough for you to drive like this (go to the 2 minute marker)....

With either setup you'll have a lot of wheel gap. I personally wouldn't go with either unless you are lowering it. Even a very moderate drop would help. But if you must, go with 20s.

Your reminding me of a thread at Bmw forums when someone posted this picture.

I think with 20s will look and drive absolutely fine.

I would definitely go with 20" over 22" for the GS. Let the LS460 guys rock the 22s

I definitely wouldn't go with 22's for our cars it would look out of place. Now like other members mentioned if you had a LS then that would be a different story.20's with a nice drop looks awesome on the GS. I'm in a similar boat except I cant decide if I want 20x10 or 20x10.5 in the rear lol. Either way its your car so do what you feel will make you happy.

22's would be awful especially with the ride quality.

This is from a post from the 3rd Gen forum
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...hey-fit-4.html as you can see you will have absolutely no tire.

Just really depends on the look you're going for bro. 22's are great and look great if done correctly(kind of rim) but if you 20's then you plan on driving your card a bit sportier which is primarily the reason why we get our type of lexus. If you're into the look and that's all then maybe go 22's but if u want look and ride...20's might be the better option. Either way, can't wait to see what you decide on... best of luck bro...

I found this one as well. I have to admit it does look nice but I couldn't do it because of the ride.

Most definitely 20s is the way. Especially when lowered.
