what the hell is "fitment" OP? never heard of that term. and offset compatibility? hmm never heard of that either.

I dont think you can compare 3GS to any other lexus vehicles.

IS= entry level compact luxury sports sedan
HS=luxury hydrid sedan
ES=mid-size sedan (FWD)
GS= mid size(RWD/AWD)
LS=full size luxury sedan

is that what youre looking for?

easy sleazy. im talking about wheels.

offset is for wheels. wondering what other lexus models have the same offset/PCD/fitment as the 3GS.

The 2gen ISx50 does. The new LS has a different bolt pattern. Can't say for sure what the other Lexus makes have. I assume the IS, SC, and GS share a similar rim size and offset. The rest I assume will be narrower and very conservative offset.

What are you trying to do?

that's a good answer, lol

but realistically, if you talk about the wheel well design, 2gs and 3gs are kind of similar, with 3gs taking a bit more aggressive setup. 2is can't take as aggressive setup as the 3gs. ls430 front set can be a bit more aggressive than 3gs, but rear is not as accommodating. sc430 is in a completely different league, it takes much lower offsets. ls460 has totally different bolt pattern so it's a different story

Im not so sure the GS can take a more aggressive offset then the ISx50. I would say they are very similar and many have probably pushed the IS more then people have with their GS on here. The 2gen GS, I think, can fit a more aggressive rim then we can from my research. I know when I looked at the Zone rims Bob was trying to sell that Wringo purchased everyone told me there was no way they would fit even with my rears shaved. I didn't try so I cant say for sure....

nop. i had 2gs and now 3gs and 3gs can take more aggressive offsets. bob's wheels for the 2gs, he had a lot of work done on his car on fenders to make everything fit. his wheels for the 2gs aren't even "typical" at all for 2gs, put those on any 2gs and it will rub crazy.

when i do comparison, it would be if a set of wheels is put on the 2gs without any fender mods, then the same set of wheels put on the 3gs, then you will be able to put certain amount of spacers and still get away without rubbing.

same thing for 2is, a set of wheels on the 3gs that doesn't rub (right to the limit), it will likely rub on the 2is. that makes sense, coz' 2is is smaller and the wheel well design has less room to play with.

i know some 2is people go pretty extreme on fitment, but that's not the deciding factor on fitment though. if that's the case, then kenstylegs setup

Work Euroline DH
front 19x9 25offset with 15mm spacer (effectively +10)
rear 19x10 20offset

i am not sure how those will go on 2is
