Default Winter Tires would this fit?

Hi guys for the 2013 Lexus GS350 F Sport , would a 245/45/R18 winter tire fit this car? It currently has 19" stock tires.


Thanks

R18 is for 18 inch wheels. So the answer is no, it won't fit. Unless you're getting 18 inch wheels, in that case yeah

In that case you should not have any problems. Just make sure the new rims have the same bolt pattern, which is 114.3mm

Very unlikely those rims will fit properly. I have an ml350 too but bolt patterns and hub centric diameters are VERY different. Get better fit winter rims from tirerack for this car. I did that and put 235/45/18 michelin pilot pa4 winter tires. I have learned not to take another person rims from another car onto my own.

To confirm, NO those rims from the Ml550 will not fit.

The bolt pattern for the Mercedes is 5 x 112.
Bolt pattern for the Lexus is 5x114.3

The hub diameter for the Ml550 is 66.6
hub diameter for Lexus GS is: 60.1

Even if you get hub centric rings the rims will fit abnormally on the GS and will VIBRATE the car and its not a good thing to do. Please verify all info before getting rims from another person.
