Default Would this setup work for rims/tires for 2000 Lexus GS300

20x8.5 Front 5x114 : 38 Offset

20x9.5 Rear 5x114 : 35 Offset

Tires Front : Nitto 555 - 225/35/20
Tires Rear: Nitto 555 - 275/35/20

I always thought that the setup for the 2nd gen Lexus GS should've had different tire sizes, such as:
Tires Front : 245/35/20 tires for the front
Tires Rear: Nitto 555 - 275/30/20

Any feedback would be appreciated.

this would be better off in the tire rack section but yes the set up would work

wheels are ok, the rear is a bit aggresive though, you might rub

but tire selection is way off

please do 245/35 in the front and 275/30 in the back. 275/35 in the back is way wrong, and the 225/35 in the front is way too narrow imho

225???????? Nope that too thin. Too much difference between front tires and rear. You would have stagger setup.

I would go with what Rominl suggested.
