Hello Everyone!!

Last week I picked up a 2015 GS-350 F Sport, Liquid Platinum with 26317 miles on it.

I have been reading the posts on this forum and like what some of you guys have done with your GS.

I am hoping to contribute as well as learn as time passes.

Welcome! I’m somewhat new as well (to the GS350) - and had a hard time choosing between that color and my Nebula.
I love them both

Thanks, I also looked at the white, but the mileage was too high.

This color hides dirt and imperfections, most of the colors I like was non F Sport, but I love this color.

I was wondering if I could put staggered wheels on without problem.

Also I know some F Sport comes in RWD with OEM staggered setup, what does the wider rear wheels look like, any idea?

Congrats on the purchase. You'll really like how Liquid Platinum shines and easily hides dirt.

Enjoy!

Nachlius, welcome to the club!
Here is the factory brochure that shows the wheels that were available.
https://www.lexus.com/documents/broc...S-Brochure.pdf
I would not switch to staggered wheels on an AWD model. Some people will say it's OK as long has the rolling diameters are kept the same as stock. But others will tell you that having different tires/wheels will damage the differentials, AWD system, or irritate the electronics.

Too funny, I did a similar thing as I am picky and wanted specific options, color, year, etc. I flew from Philly to Miami and then drove home, just over 1200 miles. I think you have me beat with VA to CA!
