Picked up some RC-F wheels. Hopefully they fit without issues.

Those wheels are awesome. I don't mind the lux package wheels on my 13, but those look so much nicer. Also curious on the size and how they fit.

I'm looking to get them installed tomorrow. My Lexus dealer wants $246 for installing them but they don't guarantee that they will fit haha.
Another very reputable wheels shop wants $200 for switching my tires to these RCF wheels and road force balancing them.

Interesting, I would think a Lexus dealer should know if their OEM wheels will fit on your car. Admittedly, I don't know a ton about wheels, but I thought it was all about the size and the bolt pattern, or something. I wish there were more nice/different OEM options for 18" wheels... I don't want to go larger than what I have on my car and I prefer OEM look over aftermarket, plus a lot of the aftermarket wheels are huge.

Yeah I agree, specially a service advisor. I told him it was RCF wheels and he said "nice F Sport" wheels. I'm pretty confident that they will fit without any issues.

I saw these wheels on a 4GS that I hadn't see before:


Seller on Craigs says tha they are 18's

I think they'll fit but they'll only know for sure once they try to mount them if there are any spacing issues/clearance issues with calipers, suspension components, etc. I doubt that the dealerships often swap out wheelsets so its not surprising they have no clue (when I asked about it, they said no - probably because they are a) lazy, b) unsure of details, c) can't guarantee anything if they give you something other than stock/OEM that came with the car how it will perform and don't want to take on that risk)

There was another forum member mjn88 that put GS F wheels on his RWD GS350 which means its certainly possible: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...sport-awd.html

Also: The RC F and GS F wheels share the same general specs :
Front: 19"x9" +50 5x114.3
Rear: 19"x10" +41 5x114.3

Definitely let us know how they turn out - definitely will be a unique look on the GS with those RC F wheels.

LatinGS350: Awesome wheels! How much did they cost and where did you get them from? Do they weigh more or less than the GS F-Sport stock wheels? I am thinking of getting four 19x9.

I sure will post pics. I try I'll have them test fit the front wheels first. Although I could try it at home first. It's usually the front ones that have issues no?

I got them from a local seller for $1100 picked up. I'll see if I can find a scale and weight the RC-F wheels and then I'll take the weight of the GS F Sport wheels. The RC-F are made by BBS.

So I put on the front wheel and it looks like we might have some issues :/





The wheel spun freely but that's without a tire on it of course.

And that's when the vehicle is up in the air. If the vehicle goes back to the ground level, you will have little more space between wheel & spindle as spindle sits on an angle.
