Thanks for all the comments everyone
I know this style and size is not for everyone, but it is for me ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
2001 GS 430 18x8.5 front, 18x 10 rear. 245/40/18 front, 275/35/18 rear. Tires are a company bought by Michelin, Riken Raptors. Tires are amazing, from my reading and research, they are really Pilot Sports Michelin didn't use (picked another design). Tires are much better than the Kumhos and Yokohoma AVS ES 100s I've had before on my GS 400.
I am not sure of the offsets, sorry.

KYB and a great question
I was right at 129,000 miles and my shocks were BLOWN. I did kind of notice a "Cadillac" ride over freeway expansion roads but I didn't think much of it. When Autorage (FANTASTIC SHOP) took off the shocks, they showed me on the machine that they were in horrible condition, they would compress but not pop back..
The car amazingly rides, IMO, stock and just like new.
So I suggest many on here with over 120k miles consider installing new shocks on their GS.
I had L-tuned shocks before with Espilir springs on my GS 400 and they are supposed to be the same shocks as the KYB.
