There is no need to go larger than 20.. unless you want problems.. or to make the car look stupid

Dave... uhhh.... 22s on a GS? Not without SERIOUS modifications. What tires? The 265/30-22? Too tall!
Realistically, 21s are the end of the road!

ToyoTundra, Search is your friend. Do not be afraid.

20s are the best. 21s are simply stupid.

I'll find the pics I saw if I can bring myself to search for them. It was hideous.

Here are 21s


I love this picture

As far a width, I think 9'' on fronts and 10'' on the rear.

I run 9 fronts and 10 rears. I run a smaller tire tho, 225 front and 235 rear. I could probably run a 11 with the stretched tire, but I didnt. I rub my fronts when my car is pretty low...

I have a buddy in my town that has 22" Lowenhart wheels on his Black GS300 - Though I'm not much into "Bling" - his car looks awesome.. Personally - i've owned 3 sets of 19's and I prefer 18's as the best all around wheel for daily driving and performance mix..

I'll post a pic in the next couple of days -

IMHO...i think 19's r the best on the GS. 20's r big...but i already think its a little bit too big....19's w/ a nice lip is the best for a GS IMHO.
