They offered me an 2006 awd gs300 with ml,nav,rear backup with cpo warranty & new set of tires for $24,995 . I think the car is beautiful...Do you guys thinks thats a good deal or a little to high. Oh forgot to mention it has 65,000 miles.

Yeah for an 06' I think its a somewhat good price but I would shoot lower as the car has 65k on it and its an 06' I would shoot for $21,500.

I can find 06's for 20-21 but i dont get any warranty.....What do you think thte certified preowned warranty is worth in reality ?

little2576

hey black while i got you ive been in the sticky for wheels for two days straight but cant seem to find a straight answer on this. If i do decide to get the 06 gs3 (awd) can i put a 20' staggered setup on it with stock springs & struts & no drop and get no rubbing.

Ive been trying to do the right thing & search for it but there is no straight foward answer...plus the fact that there arent that many that dont lower the car.

Yes you can but it will NOT look nice at all. I swear you can probably put 24s at AWD stock height.

as long as you make sure that the overall diameters are the same you can.

little2576

overall diameter the same meaning all the wheels are going to be 20x8

dont really know about the sizes......can you tell im a noob yet....lol

Is there a certain diameter the gs300 (awd)....Ive seen sizes like 20x8 +32 but i dont know what that means i guessing it has something to do with the diameter & width

overall diameter meaning the tire size. if you run a proper staggered setup typically you'll use a 245/30/20 for the front rim (if you choose 20s) and a 295/25/20 for the rear. both of these tires are pretty much identical in overall diameter.

20x8 +32 basically means this

20 = overall rim size (20")
8 = width of the rim (8")
+32 = is the offset of the wheel which is the distance from the hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel



the higher the number, the farther out towards the face of the wheel the mounting surface is.

little2576

Thanks man.....Im guessing the offset will change depending on what rim i choose

Wow I'm shocked, I wouldn't mind a 10k difference for this! 2006 GS300's are selling for 25k? While you can get a 2008 GS460 for 32 to 35k????

^^yes, the offset will vary. You can also get different offsets within size and brand rims. I'm running a staggered set up on my AWD and lowered about 2-3 inches and I rub a little. Probably because I have a rear camber kit which brought my wheels more straight up. If I left or added more camber, I would have been able to run my set up with no rubbing what so ever. But then I would have burnt through tires quickly.

Front - 20x9 +38
Rear - 20x10.5 +45

little2576

What do you mean by that?.....do you think 25k for the 300 is low....or do you think 32k-35k is to high for the 08

I'd say $20-21k is ok for an 06 300 with 65k miles, if I ever would consider a 300. But if you already test drove it and you feel it fit your desire then you go for it. $25k for an 300 is too high, $32-35k for an 08 460 is about right.

i got a 07 gs350 awd fully loaded with CPO at 43K miles for 24OTD. Its WA so i dunno how the prices differ.

I have a question, I am running an falken 245/35/20 on the 9in. DCR front wheel but I wanna run a lower profile tire. Would it be ok to run 245/30/20?
