With all the love here for aftermarket wheels, who here has some new condition original 16-18 F-Sport wheels they want to part with? I'd really like to have the 9 inch wheels for up front so I can rotate.

There is a member on here who has these wheels on their GS if you want to see what they look like. He posted in my thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...els-500-a.html
I went with the RC F Sport (not RCF) wheels myself - excuse the dirt from the *****ty weather in the pic:

All,
Wanted to get some input as far as how this setup would work with my '14 AWD. Planning on doing coilovers at the same time and rear camber correction if needed. I want to be sure I'm within the 1% overall diameter of the wheels/tires between front and rear due to having AWD.
Front Rim: 20x8.5, +35 offset
Rear Rim: 20x10.5, +45 offset
Front Tire (which size?): 245/30, 245/35, or 255/30 (looks like the 245/35 puts me at 1.1% difference of the rears)
Rear Tire: 275/30/20
If I go with 245/35 in the front and 285/30 in the rear, that puts me at a .4% difference.
Thanks guys.

I have tried them all trial and error. Without a fender roll, 245/35/20 +35 on a 9 or 8.5 is the correct for the front. 255 will rub regardless of the wheel.
For the back 275/30/20 +45 on a 10 or 10.5 is correct and the largest you can go. 285's will rub. Note: 10.5 on back will give you a bit of a lip on your wheel. If you dont like that look you will need to size down the wheel to a 10. 9.5 is OK too, but if your wheels are concave you will lose some of the look. If not it won't matter.
I am running 9's and 10.5's on my 13. 245/35/20 and 275/30's.

Would these wheel specs fit the 2014 GS350 AWD?
Wheel Specs:
20x9 +38
20x10.5 +45
5x114.3 pattern
I will get the car lowered on tanabe springs..should I be clear of any rubbing? What tire sizes should I go with? Thanks.

with AWD you want to keep your wheels all the same size and offset

not necessarily true. If you're worried about the larger size in the rear and the "stress", you can at least have different offsets but keep the same wheel and tire size.

Assuming the front wheel size depending on the design has enough clearance on the front brake caliper, you should be fine. Also note, you want to run something like 235/35/20 with 275/30/20. 245 front will work to but you'd be really close to the 1% overall diameter difference from front to rear.
