i vote stock because cause thats what i'm riding
i wish i wasn't so conservative
i would probally ride on 22's if i wasn't that guy that pinches pennies all the time. If i were building a show car i'd slap 24's on with a kit, tuck those bad boys and slam it 
cause no one has seen that before........oneday someone is gonna have the *****(or the gall) 
to do it.

I took the oportunity to read the comments carefully because I'm in the process of buying 4 new tires (Stock 17" actual) So why not upgrade to 20"?
Well, think 20 will maybe looks better but will affect the handling and the real speed readings. Also will down the pull from start. (Is like lowering the differential ratio) How this will affect the front suspention? (tie rods, ball joints and general?) Big tires are lot more expensive and low profile will bring tires blow off and broken wheels.
So all this trade off for a better look? humm... is not better to lower a car with NF 210 coil springs and keep on 17. Is this diam not big enough, eh?
I love the riding of my wife ES 300. Very, very quite, silent, no road harsh. I swap the front wheels to my GS and the change was impressive.
It have 60-215-16. Hummmm.. Is not better if I be lowering instead or increasing the overall tall of my 235-45-17.?? It will fill the wheel fender with rubber anyway instead of chrome....is a matter of taste, ja ja

Visited PepBoys and found the tires I want: 235-50-17. With this I keep my original Lexus rims (which are from a lately model) and don't cost and eye.
They are a little bigger (more taller) and this probably give a more soft suspension but less road noise....

i have 18's. I couldnt imagine the speed difference from putting a 20 or anything more than an 18 on. I can definitely feel the 18's slowing my car down. If it wasnt for that, 19's look pimpin.
