I'm looking to make some chnages / modifications to my 2017 Lexus GS350 F SPORT AWD. I have heard of carbon for the front grill, can someone assist. I 'm also selling my 20'' wheels and going up to 22'', will 22'' rub and what is the best 22'' tires to buy? Also any other suggestions will help.
I hope this vehicle is your 2nd car aka weekend cruiser, 22”s rims in my neck of the woods would require me to do a pre trip to scout for pot holes etc. you’ll basically be on rubber bands. You might want to switch to to softest springs you can find or do a air ride conversion to save your wheels from getting cracks and bends.

Good luck to you my friend you are going to need it along with lots of money for future repairs for not only your wheels/tires but suspension running on 22". 20" wheels are a stretch as it is, let alone 22". To each his own..

Lmao, Where did you find this picture. This photo had to have been photoshopped. Those bad boys are gigantic. Good one
I'm surprised you were able to run with your current 245/40R20 tires. I'm almost certain you are getting some minor rub on the fronts when you turn the wheel between half to full lock. That tire is already a 1.3" diameter increase from stock and close to 5% increase in circumference(= your speedometer is going to be that much off). 245/35R20 or 235/35R20 is usually the size to go for with 20's.
For 22's... you'll need 245/25R22 tires.. 25-series... literally rubberbands.. my bicycle has thicker tires than that.
This is my weekend car. Maybe I need to stay with 20''s and get a thinner tire, I really like how 22''s look on GS but I don't want the headache. Anything on the carbon grill?

Yes there is a slight rub when I turn right. Maybe I need to stay with 20''s and get a thinner tire, I really like how 22''s look on GS but I don't want the headache.
