Hey there i signed up to this board to see if this setup would work on a stock 2007 lexus gs350awd.
These would be aftermarket wheels that were previously on a toyota higlander. I'm not sure if it would work so i thought I would ask here.
If it doesnt work, what is ideal tire size for this car and its aftermarket wheels hopeful.

The offset is ET35

Nope...tires are too big. What's the width of the rims?

Charulz

thank you for the reply mgs.
I decided going that route would not be best after looking into it more.
however i am interested in these

I'm currently running these 17's 225/50r/17 http://www.familycar.com/RoadTests/L.../RightRear.jpg

but my right passenger wheel is broken due to accident so i must purchase a new set of wheels and tires.
Vancouver Winter as well.
Any opinions?

The TSW wheels are an OK deal. Since they are off an Infinity, keep in mind the lug nuts will not work on a Lexus because of the thread is different. Other than that, wheels should fit.

Charulz

Where would i purchase the proper lug nuts to fit the lexus?
I guess my stock ones will not work.?

A tire or rim shop should have them and while you are there, buy some hub rings as well. Stocks won't work.

Charulz

Right, Shopping list at the tire shop,
Hub Rings and Lug Nuts, I will most likely go to volco tires to get my new wheel set installed.
Do you think they will recommend these things if i showed them the TSW wheels?

If I got the Lexus 18's do you think it'd be a simpler installation without other parts necessary?

Charulz

when you meant ok deal on the TSW, do you think i could offer a lesser amount?
or ya saying that cause its actually a good deal price wise

Yes, they should. I have TSW wheels as well. They are a decent wheel.

Yes, OEM Lexus is straight forward, no hub rings needed and use same lugs. Make sure the IS350 tires have are the same size on all 4 tires.

I'm saying good deal compared to original price, but "value" is up to you. I'm sure he will deal since he didn't say "firm". People don't have the same taste in wheels so.....if you like them, buy them. But OEM is always good, especially if you will keep the car stock.

Charulz

Thank you very much for the assistance Mgs. As I'm not up to par with the information i needed to make the best decision for my situation. But you certainly helped with me going forward. I like the 5 star design and both offer a nice clean 5 star design.
The 19's TSW is my first choice as i could possibly obtain them for lesser price then the stock 18's
If the same price the tsw's still to me seem better in terms of overall looks, tire quality.
