Default Wanna put M6 wheels on my GS300.
I would like to put M6 wheels on my 2000 GS300. The wheel sizes are: Front 19x8.5 +12 Rear 19x9.5 +28 I seen it done already just wondering what size tires should I run and how thick the wheel adapters should be.

The thinnest adapters you can get are about 19mm, thus putting your effective offsets at -7 up front and +9 in the back. Fender mods are a must.

I agree, the M6 wheels would look dope. And they are sized dood for the GS3. Good luck, and post some pics if you get and install.

I admit those pics of the red GS look pretty good but why a wheel meant for another brand. There are many similarly styled wheels out there. Why a wheel meant for a Bimmer?

a lot of different wheel repair shops can redrill. 5x120 to 114.3 is the easiest to do. They open the who up and press in a 5x114.3 insert.

You are probably better off getting replica M6 wheels with high offsets which would make it way easier to fit with a 20~25mm adapter. If you have a low offset wheel to begin with and then use a 20~25mm adapter you will need serious fender modifications. with the amount for the wheels, adapters and fender mods you might as well just buy wheel that fit without any issues.

Take this link for example 19x8.5 +35 / 19x9.5 +35 with a 20mm adapter it brings it to +15 for a nice flush fit
