I've got 20x8.5 245/35/20 on the fron and 20x9.5 275/30/20 on the back.
The only problem i have is the tire hitting the wheel well, but I also have a 2 and 2 1/2 drop :P

19". I think 20"s look too big proportionately IMO.
just my 2cents.

werd to coco-bun, sortof... i have 20's and would do 19's w/ drop or 18's plus aggressive drop if i had it to do over again. 20's are nice to look at but not as functional. 19's are still nice to look at and still functional. 18's are really functional but not as nice to look at. 19'' is a little bit of bofff.

I think 19s is the way to go because i want to keep it as comfortable as possible.
It won't be any more or less comfortable if you use the same sidewall height for any size wheel.

Just make sure you say to FENDER GAPS

I have a daily driver and run 19's with a fat setup. POS roads around will kill a shorter sidewall setup.

Default Rims and tires for my Lexus

I have a 2001 Lexus GS300 and I'm wanting to do the same thing. I have some new black rims and tires and they're 20 inch


I tried taking a picture of it when it has the size of the tire. This is all new to me and I'm a female. But I'm trying to see if it's going to be okay for me to have 20-in tires and rims put on my 2001 Lexus GS300 just like this person is talking about doing. Can I please get some advice

What is your question? Have you read the previous replies?

Also, those tires need to be replaced.

I ran that tire size with no issues, but your going to need more information from the wheel. There should be some numbers stamped inside like 20x8.5 ET38. Very important info. Also need to know the bolt pattern. Might see something like 5x114.3
