Yeah when I had 255/35/20 I'd rub a bit while reversing in a full turn.... But it'll only rub into the plastic towards the front in the wheelwell...

i got H&R, and 20", and that's the highest i would except. i'm going with lower springs or coilovers once my *** gets a job though. eibach gives you a 1.0" and i'll tell you, that ain't enough

Just so you know, the tire size for that rims is 245/35/21. I've been looking at those Drama's for my RX300 and I think they look great on the GS. I've heard of quality issues with Giovanna but that's pretty much the only 21x8.5 rim that you're gonna find. Personally I think the 5 spoke design is what keeps the rim from going over the edge.

Flossn, if you go onto superbuytires.com, you can see pics/pacakages of different 21" wheels. I agree that the clean 5 spoke design of the Drama makes it beautiful!. I actually saw a Black Acura MD-X with them once, and it was pretty sweet. it sucks that the car based platform, prevents you from running a more substantial tire, you will be dodging potholes like me in my lowered GS, only you will be in a SUV, people will think you are crazy!!
