Those are 20's. Real heavy.

 

Definately need to drop the car. That should be priority #1, and then go down to a 245 series tire. I think the ltuned is a good drop and will give you a good ride for the $. I would recommend going the coilover route for the adjustablity aspect though.

 

Here is my CAR GS300 with Lexani 20 inch.

 

It's unanimous...drop it. Also change the tires completely. I had the Yoko AVS Sports....great grip, sweet looks, great stability, decent comfort, great water drainage but the loudest tire I have ever had. Put on 245 for the front while you're at it. Those knock offs look pretty good.

 

im gonna say I am suprised at alot of you.....


the tire has SOME to do with the rubbing issue, but imma tell you you can safely run a 255 tire setup (00lexusondub can testify with his pix above) as long as the OFFSET is perfect. If you run an aggressive offset (which tobal, IMO judging from your pic you are at least low 40's or high 30's which is aggressive for the GS) you are gonna have probs rubbing.


Now you can compensate by going with a 245 tire but I personally wouldn't do it. You get much more cushing with a 255 tire compared to a 245 and with 20's u need all u can get IMO



edit: but yeah DEFINITELY DROP IT!!

 

It wil take some experimentation to find that offset. Tire makes also affect the issue since some tires are more squared than others. (in the game of rub avoidance, every mm counts. ) To experiment to find the right combo takes a bit of calculation, $, and luck. If you want minimal chances of rubbing, 245s are enough. We are also talking about up and down rubbing. Wheel turn rubbing is even harder to avoid and 255s will make the calculations even more challenging.

If I remember right, 00lexondub had some rubbing issues too and was considering going back down to 245s. It sounds like from his post that he is in the process of doing just this.

I don't quite understand. You think his wheels have aggressive offsets but you are advising him to stay with 255s?

 

neo is right. especially with 20s, every mm counts. slight change in the offset or tires and it can be night and day on the rubbing
