Front should be fine but rear may need to shave/roll a little bit.

These wheels are a scam on Craigslist. Do not buy and report them to the police.

Update. Just tried them on and rears would not even fit on lugs. Tire was hitting front of wheel well. UGH!

What offset do I need to get a flush look on stock size 18x8 wheels?

I have concave profile 19x8.5 +38 offset. 18x8 isn't enough to give you a "flush" look. I use 1 in. spacers on my wheels to clear the calipers and to achieve that flush look. The offset determines how far the rim is from the center. Do you have a set of rims in mind. Are you planning on using deep dish wheels?

Those are nice. In an 18x8 they're not gonna be flush with the fenders. I run the H&R spacers so I can run a square setup and be able to rotate my tires. While H&R is a reputable company, I get vibrations sometimes. Im thinking of running a staggered setup so I can do away with the spacers. 19's dont ruin the ride honestly as long as you go with a nice tire. I run Continental DWS and it's a comfy and quiet ride. Also if you're going after a flush fitment, your gonna have to roll your fenders. I'm stock height on my 19's and I get a little rub in reverse and with big dips on the highway with passengers

Thanks for the advice! What kind of offset do you recommend? I know that stock is +45, should I go 40 or lower or should I just stick with the stock offset?

I want to say you'll be ok with +40 offset, but offset is a tricky thing. On my RWD 08 GS350, I used a +38 offset and didn't have clearance for the calipers. The stock front calipers are pretty big on these cars. My advice to you would be to use a fitment calculator before purchasing any rims. I talked to a friend of mine at the local les schwab and he was able to use a fitment calculator to determine my wheel size options. Fitment industries also have a fitment calculator on their web site, which tells you what the ideal fitments are based on your car.

Here's some info on fitment industries site about your size, width, and offset. Offset is dependent on what wheel width you go with so keep that in mind

(UGH, dumb scrolling thing and i ended up posting to some other thread)

hey guys, first post here. ive been driving my old man's lexus around so much, i decided to treat him to some new wheels and tires. so if anyone is looking for another data point on fitment, here you go.







car is a 2011 gs350 awd

front:
Konig Dekagram 19x8.5 et30
Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 225/45ZR19

Rear
Konig Dekagram 19x9.5 et35
Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 255/40ZR19

no spacers. no rubbing. although i have a set of tanabe df210s that will go on soon. and will report back on rubbing after those.

the lateral fitment is just perfect in my mind: check the pics.

also, these wheels are REALLY lightweight, and dont break the bank. larger tire AND +2 larger wheel, and they still came in 3lbs lighter each than the factory setup.
