Ok, I did a search with "245/40/17" and gs430, gs400 wheels, but I didn't come up with what I was looking for. I saw a couple of "widest tires" threads, but I'm not looking to go that wide.

I realized 245/40/17's are only slightly(10mm) wider and slightly thinner sidewall compared to the OEM/stock 235/45/17 set up. But before I spend the cash and time, I'd like some feedback(feel, looks, opinions, etc.)

Btw, this is for a 2GS 430 with OEM 17x8 wheels and I plan on lowering the car slightly/about an inch with lowering springs.

Thanks in advance,

You can check the specs on the tire manufacturer's website. For instance the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 in the size you posted will run on 8"-9.5" wide wheels.

Well, I know it will fit, its only 10mm wider.....I'm more interested in feel, ride quality, etc. I don't think it will be noticable. Just wanted to hear from anyone that runs these sizes.

Thanks again,

245/40R17 are designed to fit wheels 8.00 to 9.50" wide. They are a bit short for a GS430, 245/45-17 would be a better fit.

That's probably what I'll go with. I wish the GS400/430's came with 18x8.5 inch wheels from the beginning, since the GS is such a large car.

Thanks for your suggestions...

I myself ride on 245/45/17 IMO go with that

Hey RI-Lex, would you happen to have pictures of you wheel/tire set up? I just want to make sure it doesn't look too meaty(if that makes sense) mounted on that size wheel? I mean, I don't want it to look like the tires are too fat for that width wheel.
