Is this noise normal?
This is what I have - 2001 LS430 with 20" Kaotik CEO with 255/35-20 Falken ST115s. The wheels have a 34 offset, no spacers on front, 1/8" spacers on rear.
The car is quiet straight line but in slow turns I get a lot of tire noise. I know that the ideal tire size is 245, but why am I getting a lot of noise in turns? Is the offset causing that?

the noise does not sound normal. It sounds like extremely loud tire noise. The tires are absolutely quiet going straight. I also get a pulsing wowowowowowowowow sound when turning sharp. I realize that a lower profile tire will be louder than stock but this sounds like too much. Is my offset too far out of bounds for what is acceptable? The wheels are 20 x 8.5 with 34mm offset.
I'm just curious if anyone else has experienced the same.
