What do you guys think about this set up... 19x9.5+40 all around with 245/30 or 255/30 bolt 5x112 or 5x114.3

Yeah, it's all about preference. There's always something that's being sacrificed along the process. Obviously, as mentioned above by fellow members - would you prefer better ride comfort, or better ride looks?
I have 19x8.5 in the front (225-35-19) and 19x10.5 in the rear (245-45-19). I'm running on Hankook tires (they "look" better) but it rides ok. I feel the road more, to say the least. But when I have my stock GS430 wheels on, it rides so good. haha

Btw, welcome to CL! As far as all that goes, I'll sacrifice a bit of ride comfort for looks. After all, once you start going w/ aftermarket parts be it lowering, etc ... You'll going to lose comfort and ride along the process, anyway. I'll save true ride comfort when I have a daily driver that I'll leave stock.

Thanks for everyone for replying to my post!...I'm more of a daily driver but my drive to many places isn't to far so im more in looking for looks then comfort, but also don't want to lose too much.
