Need wheel guidance...

I've done plenty of reading and plenty of searching but am having a difficult time here...
Here's the skinny - I just bought a 2001 GS430, great shape over all but needed tires badly - went to do that today and discovered one of the chrome wheels is bent, and the other 3 are peeling inside the barrel (soon to be leaking no doubt).
I happen to have 2 sets of spare wheels for my Supra, but I think they are both going to be too big... Can anyone point me in the definitive wheel fitment thread for the GS if it exists![Wink](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
I have a set of Volk TE37s, 20x9.5 +43F (255/30/20) and 20x10.5+45R (305/25/20)
I also have a set of 18" forgestar F14s, 18x9+45F and 18x11+50R - The tires that are on the 18s are due for replacing anyway so I could put virtually anything on there.
Frankly I really would prefer to just have the stock wheels and tire size, this is my commuter car and I park it at the airport sometimes for weeks, so doing a staggered and high dollar setup isn't really very appealing to me but wheels I own are better than wheels I don't, or wheels that are broken.
Thanks for your time - Z

Taken from another site's recommendations:
2001 Lexus GS 300
Wheel Size: 16x7 - 20x9
Bolt Pattern: 5x4.5/114.3
Offset Range: 34-45
Other more knowledgeable members can comment on the basics of what is needed to use more aggressive offsets and sizes...

Well honestly I'm not looking to get agressive, but that does confirm for me the issue... the 10.5 rear would fit (20x10.5) according to tire rack - the 9.5 front would not the 18x11 rear would not fit with out a serious fender roll, and the 18x9 would fit fine... basically i need to fix my stockers or find suitable replacements as the sets I have for the supra are just a bit too big/agressive...
I'd really just assume be on the stock 235/45 tire too... I don't even want to waste money on the staggered tires... I've been trying to find some ISF or IS350 graphite wheels maybe but I can't find a single set that isn't curbed to hell...
