20x9 +36 high pad
20x10.5 +38

I'm assumming with my offset i'll need to do fender mods as well.

Maybe, maybe not. Seems like your fronts are on target and the rears sound fine as well. If any modding needs to be done, it will prolly be lightly.

My fronts on my car are +33 high disc and they sit slightly right under the fender or rather a tab flush. My rears sit perfectly, but the wheel builder told me it was a +52 offset But yeah, I am going to remeasure them the next time I take off my wheels.

the front should be ok, tommy. the rear, good luck, you are going to have a lot of fun working on the fenders and the tab where the bumper meets the fender.

you rear is very similar to what ryan has, and he has to do a lot of work.

of course it depends on how low you sit. but your wheels are definitely out there

you should have known better who to ask these stuff

lol, not every lexus owner is like that. only the more hardcore people and especially the ones who are going for vip look would do that

working on the fenders of lexus is much harder than bmw or mb as well

of course, it depends on the car as well. the 5 series (comparable to the gs) can take more aggressive offsets i believe. and if you think these offsets are aggressive, your jaw will drop when you see offsets on the sc430 or my ls460l

Nice looking GS...drop is perfect. Man, it seems to me all or most of the pimped out GS's are located in Cali or Florida. Dig the white wheels also. Get a tint.

the only reason that most cars that are "pimped out" are in fl or cali is because i the lack of snow. i sure wouldnt really want a car like that with snow and those tough weather conditions cause then all that i put on my car would get messed up do to weather.

I'm not rubbing in the back with the "+52 offset," nothing near close to it. I was at LMNis250's house today and man, his wheels are FLUSHED compared to mine. I'm interested in figuring out what his offsets are.

It's because we're jealous of fitments on BMW so we have to push ours to the limits to get close to the lip sizes we can only dream of.
