I searched the threads but cant be sure.
07-GS450h.
Can i go with 19x 8.5 32 offset on the front and 20 x 9 off set 32 on the rear? Some came up in my area but i dont know if its possible.

If its a 2wd yes easily, but awd (450h are rwd) you would need to match the same tire size front and rear. You are ok to run it! But when selecting tires use a tire calculator to match the same height if you wanted to match speedo readings. Not sure if the GS has speed sensors on all 4 wheels of just the rear wheels.

Thanks for the info! I am just going to verify these Vossen CV3 are authentic before proceeding and then out tire sizes to buy.

I'd imagine the differing tire thickness wouldn't look super sexy...

I saw some pics from a 2nd Gen GS and it was fine but i cant seem to find a good Pic of a 3rd Gen GS with 19 front and 20 on the back. These rims are so nice, i might have to just give it a try!

The biggest drawback I had when I ran 20's was bending from wheels from potholes. But running 19" in the front and 20" in the rear is win win. Youll have the coolness/wideness of the 20"s without compromising ride or durability. Post some pics when your done
