HRE doesn't make a 21" wheel
HRE will make any design in any size for the dough. If you want a 21in. HRE they wheel manufacture it. It probaly would cost alot but they would still make it. Trust me asked them already.

When u fit 11.5" in the rear, what offset do u run? Cuz I'm planning to fit 20x10 +24 in the rear with 275-30-20 on GS430. I also want to lower the car for about 3 inches to tuck the tires into the wheelwells.

bottom line, hre does NOT have anything over 20s for 840r and 540r. if you can get them to make a set of 640R in 21s then you can try

The fact of the matter is this; 20s are the largest wheel that should be fit on a GS. You want 21s or 22s, buy a 745, where is looks somewhat appropriate. You want to get in the World Guiness Book of World Records for largest wheels on a GS, fine. But you will also win lowest I.Q in the Northern Hemisphere.
The 2nd gen GS is 5 inches shorter than the 1st gen. If bigger is better, you bought the wrong car.
This is CLUBLEXUS LAW. No bigger than 20s on a GS. Any questions???????

11" rims ... offset?
If I ever get rid of my current rims with the rears currently being 19 x 10 & 285/30-19 tires, I will go for 19 x 11 with 305/25 - 19 tires.
My current rims have a 45 offset and with the clearance I get using coilovers, I measured the inside lip to the spring and have over an inch of clearance. So a 19x11 rim should fit. I could also move the offset out toward the fender with a bit more shaving of the lip. I am almost certain I can get this to fit without rubbing at "any" ride height.
For those thinking the 305/25 tire profile is too low, it is almost the exact same profile as a 255/30 that I have on my wife's IS. I am interested in gaining more off the line traction, so unless I want to use drag radials on 17 inch rims, the 305/25 sounds like the best option for me.
If I ever seriously consider doing this, I will definitely post the results and the offset I chose. It's only saving up for HRE 841R's that is holding me up !

I try to make order for 18x11" rear rims for my 315's babes
I found you old post about wheel fitment.
Could you say exactly clearances:
- between fender and wheel,
- between wheel and spring (you said over 1"?)
with your current rear wheels (i think 19x10 +45)?
What offset i need for 11's fit without fender mods? may be just shaving...
Thanks in advance!
