20" - 8.5 up front and 9.5 to 10 in the rear seems to be the majority there days. Running a 245/35 and a 275/30 will do the trick.

Thanks, but the problem is that this is my primary ride and i drive about 50miles aday. I 'm looking for something in the 40/45's without a drop.

Then your needs will produce bad results. For better ride/comfort stay with no bigger than 18's, but 18's with tall tires and no drop will look bad.

I have a 'fat 19' setup, 245/40-19 and 275-35-19 and the ride isn't bad but I only drive 20 miles a day (10 each way). If I had to drive 50 miles a day I'd get an LS430.

Yeah without a drop, bit is right, run the 18's, even then it may be to tall but I have seen it done before if you pick the right size tire.

A lot of people on here rock the 18's, may be rough compared to the 16's but it should have enough tire on there to ride pretty good.
