Garz Man Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Looking to put new wheels on my 06 GS 300. Considering either 19 x 8s or 20 x 8.5s. Don't plan on lowering the car. Don't really drive fast or aggressive, just want a nicer look w/o compromising the nice ride. Any info or pics helps, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though they look good, but the size is so freaking complicated. first of all its kinda hard to find tires and when you do, its soo expensive. Listen to me and get either 18's or 20's. Staggered fitment would be nice. tire companies dont like 19's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the ride on 19s or 20s that much worse then the stock 17s? Is there a big difference b/t the 19 or 20? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the ride on 19s or 20s that much worse then the stock 17s? Is there a big difference b/t the 19 or 20? well all I can tell you is that ever since I got the wheels the steering wheel shakes when I hit 60MPH, above or below 60MPH it doesnt shake. I did balance/allignment twice already and still the car shakes, and I have vibration when I hit 80 MPH. However, I have used tires and they are worn out. maybe its because of those, or maybe the rims or maybe my steering rack needs to be adjusted, since GS300 did have problem with steering rack being out of balance. Either way im too lazy to find out, and Im broke so I cant buy new tires either, and trust me tire prices for 19 inches are a pain in the A****... good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt2421 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I have 20"s on my car and i love them. I used to think the stock wheels were pretty cool but the after market wheels make the car stand out. I get tons of compliments on them and I havent had any issues with vibration at top speeds or any other issues with the larger wheels.
