Looks good JDM
If you want a cushier ride, go with 235/50 like me
I see a white one running around with those 18 GS wheels.
I'll see if I can snap a picture.
thanks for the compliments guys....I would love to see a white one with these wheels....since white was my first choice when I was looking to get one of these cars and gave up because could never find one with the black interior!!

Just curious, do you have any issues rubbing the fender liner in front when you turn your wheel full lock? I've read of some LS with slight scrubbing issues with a fat tire setup.

No rubbing at all whatsoever Dave.
Plenty of clearance on the fender liner, at least another 1".
I was more worried about the bolt from the upper control arm.
With the 245/45, there was at least 1" before the tire hits the bolt.
No need for spacers...they were straight out of a GS...same OEM setup from the GS...Maybe thats why the car drove like total crap.
Well, it's pretty thin with the 245/40.

I'll see if I can snap one without the driver giving me a WTF face
I'm about to put 06+ GS430 18" wheels on my 01 LS430. (Black Cherry on Black Leather). But, I'm just transferring them from my SC430 (getting new wheels and tires for the SC instead) so it'll have the 245/40-18. When they wear out I'll get 245/45-18. I'll snap a picture once it's done if anyone's interested.
Look forward to seeing the pictures. I think the 245/40s are going to look pretty short though.
I agree but the 245/40 is just a transition tire. I have a lot of tread left on them and I just need to use them up. But once they're done I'll get the appropriate size. Pics to come soon.
