It says "The size of wheels are 18x8.5+50 112/114.3 5 hole and 18x9.5+50 112/114.3 5h."

It is Lowenhart LD5. I'm afraid that these wheels' offset is only 50 and it may not have enough clearance for OEM brakes. I'm totally newbie about the wheels. Plz help!!!

18s? err... cant help much. I do know stocks are 18x8 with an offset of 45. SO it might not clear big brakes if you have an 07+, 06 might be ok if you have a GS300. The rear should be ok but the wheels will be inset. Maybe if you get these and they don't clear, get some spacers?

Why not try them on unless you are buying them online.

Thanks for the help. I am trying to buy those used wheels online. However Mine is 2006 GS300.
BTW I've always loved your wheel setting.

Sometimes deals are too good to be true, I would advise you to try and wait off for another set of wheels that were made for the 3GS, its a safer bet. Oh yeah go big or go home. Thanks for the compliment.

Plug in your numbers in this wheel size fitment calculator. HERE

If you use the suggested tire size of 245/40-18 then your

Both 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 rims will be:
Suspension: 5 mm (0.2'') closer to suspension/brakes components. Acceptable for most cars
Fenders: 100% clear (leaves even more room than OEM)
Wheelwells: The same.

I have found on the 2006 GS, that when you cut the wheel all the way to the stop on either side, the trailing edge of the 245/40-18 tire just barely hits one small spot on the wheelwell to the rear of the strut.

why go for 18's? 20' look much nicer. You could even do a 245/34 all the way around and leave the suspension alone and the car will look solid. good luck
