I would say 245. It offers more protection for the wheel.

Captain Bone, those wheels are sweet! If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay? And where did you purchase? They are EXPENSIVE! www.rdmwheels.com/iforged/flux.htm ???

I just purchased my 2001 GS 3 last weekend and under the advice of my brother-in-law who is a Lexus technician, he suggested not going bigger than 19" wheels. -- Actually he said 18" -- but come on... I'm trying to get rid of the big black side wall.

Thanks for the input!

I bought them used from a member on here but would NOT suggest buying from RDM.

I have heard people have had nothing but problems from that company. There are a ffew other companies on the internet that sell these that are much more reliable.

Good luck on your voyage.

The price is OK, come on, you have a LUXURY car. Your GS will look nicer if equipped w/ Great Looking wheels. Worth it

Just e-mailed you other expensive choices

Default 245

245/35 19 will have the correct overall diameter. 235/35 would not.
