Talking How big are your wheels?

I was wondering what rim sizes are the most popular ones. A lot of people upgrades to bigger rims, but to my own opinion the 17" OEM Lexus wheel also does not look too bad.

Lots of people like the look of a 19" wheel. Big enough to look awsome yet not so big, like a 20" to become a problem. I, for one, like 18". To each his own.

Hey Pongydoo and others,


I noticed that your tires are not the same rating on the second part. I'm not sure what its called but you run ""245-35-19 up front and 265-30-19 on the rear."". I thought the second number had to be equal. If not I am guessing your front is either higher than your rear or its leveled. Do you guys know if its safe to have this set up? thanks

Well, IMO 20's look best.. At the moment I have waiting some Work Wheels that are 20X8.5 and 20X10 to put on my GS... But here, look at the comparison of rims from 16's, 17's and 20's....

Here are the 16's....
