18" Wheels For A Gs300


Recommended Posts

I have a 1999 GS300, everything is stock, current wheels/tires are 215/60HR16. I'd like to go up to 245/24VR18's. Does this seem like it would be to big a wheel for this car? Would I lose a lot of fuel economy going from a 215 to a 245? Any other issues I need to be concerned with when wheel/tire upgradi? I found a tire size calculator on the net so I can make sure the size doesn't throwoff my speedometer. I realize I would lose some of the cushiony ride but I am willing to give that up for the tighter handling. I'd like to find a used set of Lexus 18's. The 16" Lexus wheels I currently have are chrome (including the spare) and I think I might be able to sell them to recoup some of the cost for the 18's. Anyway, if you have any suggestions on where to find a decent deal on 18's, or might want to trade, please respond. If you have a set of 18's for sale, please let me know. Thanks.

I think you mean 245/40. :)

How about a set of L-Sportline Model 4 in chrome. Here is a pic of the wheel in silver (just imagine it in chrome):

I know a shop (not me) selling this for $275 each shipped in 18x8.5 size only. Rim only, no tire. Still a great price. Pm me or email me: neo.one@gmail.com if you are interested. Just trying to be helpful. Not making a cent personally.

One thing you migh consider is a drop (mild or wild is up to you). Once you start showing more metal, the car starts to look like an SUV. :)

Yes I did mean 245/40. Those are great looking wheels but show a little more metal than what I'd like. I'm also trying to find something used so I can save some green. Thanks for the info.
