My New Wheels!
We finally got our new wheels for our GX.
Took us awhile but are VERY happy with the results.
20" Helo X-plode Wheels with 285/50/20 Sumitomo HTR Sport tires.
Thanks for everyone's input. Check out my pics at:

Looking good!
I am curious why 285/50/20? I thought 295/45-20 or 265/50-20 are a lot better match.

I got them at weather tech. I purchased the window deflectors there as well. I'm not sure on the price.

We wanted the larger width and a little larger profile than the 45's. We like the "beefier" look of the ones we purchased with minimal overall diameter difference. Its really only about 2-3mph difference at 65MHP, so its not so bad.

I have been thinking to get the moonroof deflector too, by looking at your photo it seems like it also fit very well... OEM look. This convince me to get it from them.
