Default 18" wheels on GS350

My dad just got a GS350 and he is wants to get 18" wheels for the summer. Is 18x8.0 +45 a good setup? And does he have to run tuner lugs with the aftermarket wheels or will stocks work? Thanks!

Hi Zach, this goes in the 3rd gen GS forum (moved).

Also can you please resize your signature to fit within our forum max? 450 x 100, < 50kb thanks

Yes and depends...many rims accomodate the stock lugs. If getting a aftermarket rim, you ll probably want hubcentric rings.

Not trying to hijack this thread, but this question might be helpful to his dad also. What is the impact on ride quality when going from 17" to 18" wheels assuming everything else remains the same (tire type, suspension, etc.)?

Oops, forgot this is the 3rd gen . Anyway, he is looking at Volks or OZ wheels, don't know if they require tuner lugs or not.
