Default MRR Wheels new for Lexus gs350

hey guys, i just got a new 07 gs350 in mercury metallic and finally decided to get some new shoes for her along with eibachs. After plenty of researching, this new company has been getting great reviews and especially offer great prices for the wheels. Im gonna be getting 20's. They should be coming in a week. Ill post pics of my car when they arrive but in the mean time, this is what it should exactly look like. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks CL for all the helpful input..Tire size is SOOOOO important if you dont want to rub and intend on riding with people in the backseat!

In my humble opinion that is about the best look you can get for a GS3...I am going to order a set of the exact same wheels from the US before December. I am still struggling with two setups:

Staggered 19's in silver and no lowering (going for the OEM look)

Staggered 20's in chrome, tanabe nf210

My car looks dark blue most of the time so I'm not 100% sure about how it would look in chrome.

What offset are you going for?

just curious, what is the best offset for staggered 19's
F 8.5 245.35.19
R 9.5 275.30.19
i think i recall seeing something like +44?? not really sure what is needed for the above set up

8.5 all around is your best bet. tire size your looking at is just great considering youre getting 19's. But if you can, go with 20's!!! I think youll thank me later!

Damn! That's what everyone is saying...if you can go with 20's. I never have this much trouble making decisions...

I'm not sure what the OEM offset is, but from what I can see if you're using 8.5 inch width the offset everybody goes for is +35 and if you're using wider wheels it will be 40 something (43 for 10" and 45 for 9.5"). As I understand it 0 offset means the plane of the bolts will be in the centre of the wheel, a positive offset moves the centre of the wheel in towards the car.

I love the look of these wheels and the price is incredible. Will they work on an AWD GS350?

MRR is not a new company. They have been around many years making stock wheels for manufactureres. In the last few years they turned to the aftermarket.
Nice choice of wheels.
