Default IS-F Wheels on 2GS?

Does anyone know the specs of the IS-F wheels? And, if so, would they fit and look good on a 2GS? I'm keeping the suspension stock.

Thanks,

Eric

1. Search please I just answered this last week. They do fit.
2. I don't think anyone has done it on the 2GS yet. Maybe go in the Photoshop forum and ask for a photoshop
3. Wheels are BBS and designed after Samurai swords. THey are 19x8 front and 19x9 rear. Suggested tires are Michelin PS2

Yeah man, thanks. I saw your answer & said thank you last week in the 20" Venza thread. Then, I read another thread via search that said the +55 offset would "look rediculous" on any year GS (without an explanation of why/how).

So, although not done yet, I was wondering if someone with advanced knowledge of offsets & wheels could explain why they wouldn't look good.

Ya know?

IS-F Wheels:
* Size: 19 x 8 Front, 19 x 9 Rear inches
* Bolt Pattern: 5-114.3
* Offset: 45mm Fronts / 55mm Rears
* Weight
* Accepts TPMS Sensors

Is there any reason why these offsets wouldn't look good??

They would be so far in the fender well they would look like *** without spacers (not a good idea on a street car)

Hey I had this same question when the IS-F first came out, check out this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/pho...-f-wheels.html

Seize photoshopped IS-F wheels on the 2gs for me and at least by the photoshop it looks pretty good IMO. I don't know how it would look in real life but I say go for it and see how it turns out, and post pics and let us know so we can all see !!

It's a very sporty wheel. I think the GS demands pretty specific wheels to look good. These are a no go in my opinion.

Thanks for the replies. I want to keep it sporty + somewhat dark since I have the grey sportdesign. Rightnow, I have the graphite 18'' ISx50 wheels but just want something bigger. I figured these are in the same line....
