20" rims or 22" on the GS
Ok folks, I'm ready to put some rims on my black 2015 GS 350. Not sure if 22 inch rims is a good idea because of the fact of rubber band tires. What do you all suggest? I'm going with the Lexani CSS15.

22s aren't very functional. If you care about function and quality of ride, they'd be too big for the car. If you're going for the looks though, 22s with a nice drop can look great. But again, you'd be sacrificing a lot of functionality and I wouldn't recommend them if you're daily driving the car.
I personally think 20s are perfect for our cars. You can still rock a decent sidewall tire and also not sacrifice too much in the ride quality. They fill up the wheel well perfectly and with a subtle drop, you'd be sitting verryyyy nicely!

Depends.. are you increasing your sidewall size as well?
Running 22s would mean you're sidewall would be slim to nothing... so the smallest of bumps can translate into a bent rim or crack..
20s would be cool as long as the tire sizing isn't drastic... with proper offset of course.
I think you'd be happy with 21".. but then again.. tire sizing is pretty slim so you'll be forced to pay a premium for odd size tires..

20's with a Tanabe or RS-R springs will be just fine
