19's vs. 20's
I love the horsepower that my GS400 puts out. I have been looking at wheels for it but as much as I want the car to look great, I don't want to take away from the performance. I currently have 16's on it. Does anyone know if there is a certain size I should go with if performance is my main objective? If so could you send me a link?
Thanks

Elliot... Thats what a proper suspension is for mang. Sure you might have to tub out some fender, but with a little ingenuity you could make 21's sit like 19's.

I took out my spare tire and jack assembly when I put on my 19's to help with a bit of weight reduction. The problem is, the spare tire is used to hold cargo weight and stabalizes the truck bed. W/out the spare in, if you put any cargo in that weighs more than 20 lbs, you can see the depression it creates because of the lack of support that the spare used to provide. Has anyone addressed this problem?

weight reduction on a 4,600 lb car made for luxury?
anyways... if you take 1lb off the wheel it will effect your performance more than if you take 1lb off the chassis.

Well I have a supra TT spare then I cut a custom wood crossbar and solved the problem. The supra TT spare weighs at least half of the full size just in case for those long trips.

#1 The GS does not weigh 4,600 lbs. it weighs more around 3,700 - 3,800 lbs.
#2 The GS is classified as a luxury-sport sedan ...
#3 True taking weight off wheels is more effective than taking weight off the chassis, but reduced weight is reduced weight, and it helps either way ...
