OK,
I had an account on here and cant for the life of me remember the email i used or pw to the user name so i made a new account today, anyhow.
Here is my delima.....this is a multi question
I am thinking about putting the is250/350 wheels on my 2001 GS 300, but the wheels i am about to purchase are not staggered, so i am thinking these were an option for the es300? (Pay attention, here comes the delima) lol
So if these wheels are NOT staggered are they just the is250/350 front wheels? if so what are they 18x8's? what is the offset for these wheels?
2ndly...what would it take in the rear to get a better looking offset equivilant to the is250/350 standard rear wheels?
Spacers? if so what kind and are they safe to drive daily on?
Please Help me out.
Thanks in advance!

He has GS300 and is wondering if the non-staggered set of wheels actually came off of an ES instead of an IS.

sorry...
i have a 2001 GS300
The wheels are the exact same thing as the is250/350 but they are not staggered, they are like just the front wheels of the is250/350. i am assuming that this option was only available for a es300 and thats why they are not staggered.
My question is above but i have had 1s250/350 wheels on my GS before and they are staggered, these not being staggered should i or can i use a spacer to acheive the same offset? if so what offset how much mm and are spacers safe to daily drive?
The only reason im considering these wheels are because they are local and cheap with brand new tires! otherwise id hold out for staggered is250/350 wheels

Stock GS runs non staggered don't they?

to get staggered offset, get spacers, if anything over 15mm imo should get with bolted spacers all with hub centric also...

I haven't used spacers myself, but heard most of them aren't very well balanced... :/ so I don't know which one to get...

Yes Stock GS runs non staggered, but i have had the is250/350 wheels on the car before and the staggered actually felt a ton better than the non staggered OEM GS setup.
Yea, me too i have no idea about spacers and figured maybe someone was running a similar setup or knew about spacers and or up's and down's of them.

15mm. any more and id say get the correct wheel with proper offset, your ball joints will thank you.

sitinon20s

lol,
im just looking to do the rear's to still get that is250/350 wheel look that it would give me if i had the wider wheel in the rear.
so 15mm rears only?

H&R spacers and call it a day 15mm

yeah, 15mm either way, you can put them only in the rear. like someone already said, make sure they are tru hubcentric.

these are the ones i run on my Supra, they are the same for the GS. they are good for the money. make sure you torque to OEM specs.

if the wheel is a front is250 wheel which i think is a 18x8 what will the 15mm bring me to? 9.5 in the rear? what would the offset be at that point?

i was in canarsie. havent been there in a couple of weeks. im around park slope now adays for about a month or so.

its funny how many GS you see in BK, there is one on every block, the more reason to stay original and stand out.
