Thank you. Those are 19"s off a 2008 LS600hL. Had to get them redrilled from 5x120mm to 5x114mm to fit the GS460.

Hello everyone. I have rims with these specs:
Front: R20, 8.5j +40 et
Rear: R20, 10j +45 et
For front I have tyres 235/35, Can you give an advice on the best rear tyre setup? I will lower the car and do not want to mod fenders

I just picked up my first GS on Friday and I'm looking for a little wheel/tire guidance. I picked up a ‘07 GS350 AWD and I’m looking at a set of 20x9 +35 and 20x10 +40 wheels. I was thinking about 245/35 and 285/30 tires for them since they have the same overall diameter. I plan on eventually putting some coil-overs on, but not right away. I've been looking through this thread, but I haven’t yet found anyone with this combo setup. Will it work or should I change it?
@msgs350 I could use your expertise

Update: I just found a post mentioning a 235/35 and 275/30 setup for tires. Any thoughts/experience with this setup?

These are 20x9, +31, 245-35/20 on the front. 20x10.5, +40, 275-30/20 on the rear.

I think it looks great, but I switched to an 18x9.5 square setup and 255 tires. The wheels are for sale BTW.

Nice looking setup! I've seen that tire combo before, but from what I've read you shouldn't have more than a 1% difference max with an AWD or it will throw off your AWD system and these are at 1.1%. I'm now starting to look at 235/35 and 275/30 setup which are equal and a little lower profile than the 245/35 and 285/30 setup

You are right. Your tire combo choice would certainly be necessary for an AWD GS.

Default Need Help Identifying Wheel!!

I recently popped the rear passengers tire on my 06 gs300, and have not been able to find a replacement wheel ANYWHERE. Please let me know if these look familiar or you have any idea. They’re stock bolt pattern and 17.” I believe the LX came with a similar design for its wheels but in a 20”-21”



Thank you for looking!!

These look like the wheels off an rx350 if I'm not mistaken. I have a link here on ebay that seems to match. I couldn't find the oem ones. https://www.ebay.com/itm/14500761206...IaAtMFEALw_wcB

The original chrome wheels on my 07 GS350 were worn so badly that one of the tires was losing air, so I decided to replace the wheels. I got these Liquid Metal Raven wheels. They have a metallic paint. They are the same size as the stock 18s and also fit on the stock tires. 18x8 245/40 R18
