New GS Wheels

Based on the specs, yes. Go for it. If you get the GS430 wheels, you will even get BBK clearance. No guarantees on how many BBKs but you should be able to fit most if not all.

So Neo, you saying the 18" 430 wheels fit a Supra BBK? If so, that would be sweet.

I wouldn't doubt it, stock 06 430 brakes are huge- like 13.1 inch front with big calipers

No one has tested this but like Chuck said, the 3GS430 has larger 4-piston brakes and there is definitely caliper clearance issue if you order aftermarket wheels. There is a good chance that these rims will clear the TTs but until someone actually test it, it is just a guess at this point.

Speaking of GS430 Wheels, I really think these wheels look VERY nice on the GS, they compliment the lines of the GS very well...
