I'll post some better pics when I can (weather here has been crap). But the wheel/tire package I ordered were 18x8", asked a few questions from the sales guy and everything seemed good. Turns out the wheels are +35mm offset. Close to the struts, but no rubbing. Not a huge problem besides the "sunk in" look. So after getting them on I put 20mm spacers on the back, which squared the wheels up closer to the fenders, and am putting 12mm up front (with new ARP studs) this weekend. Just put new Centric rotors and Akebono pads all the way around, and flushed all brake fluid with new.
2013 ES350 w / 38,300 miles
Coated black with machined face
Rear, dirty, new brakes done, 20mm spacer.
This coming Sunday I plan on finishing the fronts, also doing oil, trans, and coolant service. I'll post pics once I have everything done again for final appearance/stance etc.

I’ve got 359 miles on this GX and simply couldn’t stand the silly bicycle tires they put on mine. Removed the Bridgestone Dueler H/T 265/60/18. The difference now that I’ve installed Cooper Discover AT3 in 275/65/18 is night and day! SO happy with them.

Not sure if too many are still checking in here,.
the 18 inch stock rim is offset of 38. I'm looking at aftermarket w same specs except they have 42 offset.
tirecalculator says may be 4 mm closer to brake components.....
I shud be good......right???

But generally speaking, up to 45mm will clear your brake calipers... by a few millimeters.
