obviously, that was a joke.

from what I have heard to answer your question, yes they should fit.

20's no problem with rubbing.... If you get a lower NF's with 21, you might have a prob. But if you jsut put 21's with no lower, it'll look odd maybe... but with no lower and 21's i've "HEARD" yes no problem...

get some more advice though before you decide.

21's are not a fitment issue even with lowering however I would recommend custom crafted wheels, and certainly staggered.

I've seen 2 GS on 22's here in south florida. One guy I talked to. He said there was no rubbing except in full lock turning. The car could not be lowered and it really doesn't need to be. There wasn't much gap to speak of. My personal opinion is anything over 20 is too big for the GS. I thought the 22's looked comical...maybe 21 would look a lot better...I'd have to see it. I've seen many with 20's and that's the perfect size.

i personally like i-forged wheels. they're 3 piece. probably run you for a basic set 3-4K.

Default Wheels

Check out www.forgeline.com. Give them a call. They are very helpful and carry the specs for Lexus models including the GS350. I am sure they can enlighten you and answer your questions. By the way, they do make a great forged 3 peice wheel and can custom it to your cars specs.

From a looks perspective, I would go with 20's max. I've only seen one GS with 21's and they just looked two big. I didn't ask or even think about rubbing - so hopefully somebody knows for sure. I would assume a good shop like the one GS350Black mentioned can provide you a factual answer.

It should look pretty good with the right offset and staggered setup..
