All your info for wheels, tires and offsets: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...el-thread.html

You will rub with 22" on those springs though. They are not stiff enough and to much of a drop. You need coilovers or a minimal drop for example the eibach prokit.

Either way 20's look better to me and will look great with the springs you already have.

20 look great and the work. With the 22's its a bit more work (actually a lot more work). It looks great, but the 20's look solid, work even when slammed, and they wont affect your braking and acceleration as much.

20s will look good with a slammed car. 22s are pretty big and do take some work to fit, not to mention you can not find a tire size that will keep everything accurate.

Whether your GS is lowered or not, 20's suite nice. Here's two examples,

There is the option of 21's, but its random size will result in pricier tires
