Default Wheel fitment question!!?!

These are 19in by 8.5in Mota Wheels that I'm thinking of buying. They are listed in my local classifieds for only $250 for the set I think they look awesome because they almost look like stock wheels but they're 19's

My only question is will they fit my GS400 if they were on an is300 as pictured????

Any help would be greatly appreciated because if they will fit I'm going to buy them.

Thanks guys...

They looks nice. I'm sure they will fit your GS400.

IIRC they could possibly be a little more sunken on the GS than IS. Nothing spacers can't fix if they're not aggressive enough for your tastes. IMO a nice looking wheel, give them a shot!

IS wheel offsets look like *** on a GS. The offsets for a IS are about 15mm higher than what GS's usually run, so your wheels will be sunken in quite a bit. I wouldn't get them IMHO

spacers will be your friend but that is a good looking wheel for being 1pc

I would agree, spacers will be in the not too distant future. The wheels look good, ...and you can be mad at the price....

Find out the actual offset from the seller, it is stamped on the inside spokes; those are Moda's, not Mota.

I have the fitment guides here and looks like 19" Moda R6's came in either 8 or 9 wide, not 8.5. Both widths were available in either 35mm or 45mm offset. Either should be in the ballpark on a GS depending on your taste.

Here is more manufacturer info, Moda's were made by Radius and sold here in the US by Tire Rack:
