New Rims
I am looking to pickup some rims for the GS430 I just bought, my second lex...
I want to stagger the rim sizes for the look and performance, what are the best sizes if I am planning to keep the suspension mods to about a 1.5 lower with springs, shocks and sways.
I am thinking 19" TSW Kyalami's with 8 in front and 9.5 in the rear. Will this work without other mod to the car?
I have read some people refer to rolling or something like that, is that a fenderwell or fender mod?
Thanks, John.....
I guess I'll add myself to the map and provide a pic of the car soon, still stock but so sweet to be in my new lex...

02 GS430, Silver / Black, Nav and Levinson, all stock (for the moment)

Here is a shot of my car with 19" Iforged Retro's. I am running 10" rear and 8.5 front. I am dropped with L-tuned shocks and springs. I plan on changing out my tires to a fat set up to get more rubber around them. I have zero rubbing.

Thanks, I like your car, the way you lowered was perfect, just what I am planning on doing.
How much did you lower it and what did it cost to get all of the suspension work done?

Congrats on the new ride!
I don't know much about the recent TSW wheels - they are typically pretty conservative with offsets.
Do you know what offsets the Kyalamis are? This would help!
There may be more than one offset that works for your car- for example, with a size like 18x9.5 there may be a choice between 18x9.5 +45 and 18x9.5 +30 (or something like that).
Depending on what tire you run you may be able to use the lower offset.

The TSW's are decent but for 1pc cast wheels, I think the DONZ Columbo or MRR line would be better. (TSW's are on the pricey side IMO)
here are a couple links for your reference
