I'm just now looking into getting new rims for my GX. I need to know if 20s or 22s have worked for other owners and suggestions on some nice fitting styles for the GX. Ive looked only at the Zinik Z1 and Z6. My GX is ash blue, has anyone tried the black rims or would this not look good. Im thinking the chrome would probably look sweet though. Finally, are there any good pictures of GXs with tire/rim mods?

 

Go with the 22" bro . I just sold my 22" for $1600 (6 months only 1800 miles on them) or you can do 24" like a Ias CL member .https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=179139 P.S what are you going to do with your tire sensors?

 

i do like the zinik myself,,,, offset is so crucial on these japanese trucks,,, we dont have wide wheel well as american trucks do,,, very narrow width...

 

those are 24s, thats tight. That 4runner looks mini next to the gx in that picture. Any idea what company makes those rims? I dont know about the sensors to tell you the truth.

 

Another question i was wondering if someone could answer. I live in Upstate NY and the winters are rough, Do I switch between my stock in the winter and my other rims in the summer? Probably a stupid question but I have no idea about this.

 

You really want to use you stock rims and tires for the winter .Thats what i just did bought them in april and just sold them on wed. got my stock back on.those rims in my GX were 22x9.5 wih 305/40/22.

 

Who makes the rims that you just sold? You would be the one to ask, would you go up to the 24s, and what changes need to be made (ie sensors, wheel well) with the 22s vs 24s. It looks like youve made a few nice changes to yours.

 

No changes with the 22" ,with the 24" you have to make some changes https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=174818 specially trying to put a Big Brake Kit on the truck.I think the brand name Helo not sure just bought them from my friend's shop .nest year Im going try to get the 24".

 

I believe you can transfer the tire pressure sensors to the new rims, they are attach to the valve stems.

 

Just do the bypass for the sensor

I drive the 2003 GX. Ive never even had anything tell me the pressure in my tires is low. Was this tire pressure sensor even on the initial model?

 

I believe that the low tire pressure monitoring system wasn't offer until 2005.

 

Do 22's cause friction with the wheel well on sharp turns???

 

no, I didn't have a problem on sharp turns or braking .

 

I would imagine the 22 inch wheels and the low profile tire takes alot away from that nice Lexus ride.
