Default gsf and rcf wheels on gs350 f sport

I recently purchased a set of RCF wheels for my GS350 and im curious about rubbing issues. The upper control arms seem to be very close to the rim. Has anyone ran the same wheel dimensions on a 4g GS350? I’m reading mixed reviews on this setup... Some need spacers some say it’s fine with no modifications needed.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have 245s on a 20x9 and they are a bit stretched..... I don't like stretch, but I like cheap.
I will be trying a 235 35 next....
My setup is nowhere near rubbing, 255s should be fine.
Also, different manufacturers sizes may be wider.
Easy to mount. I suggest 35 series...
Ignore last weeks snow mud, my car is dirt grey...

Yes it is. Lowered 2" or so.
I am pretty sure a non generic tire will fit better.
I don't like the stretch.

Wouldn't wheel offset influence whether a 245 or 255 rub, especially upfront? Goobs, what offsets, front and rear, are you running?

Thanks...

+51 front 9”, +41 rear 10” Oem rcf
My cars at the dealer the fronts don’t rub with 255/35s waiting for them to mount the rear.

Thanks

Update* rcf wheels fit Gs350 f sport with no rubbing issues whatsoever.
Front 19x9” 255/35r19, rear 19x10” 275/35.
15” Gs 350 F sport at stock height.
park place Lexus did the swap for $190 included new tpms seals and a loaner car for the day + a car wash! Beats the hell out of discount tire

Thanks Tannerka.

I wonder if my 19x9 +42 with 255/40/19s will rub front or back. My car is lowered on coilovers with a tight 2 finger gap all around currently on the stock 18x8 +45 235/45/18s.

I have to wait for some warmer weather to try them.

are you on adjustable coilovers? 2 fingers is tight!!! How do you like the 18” wheels? Luxury model?

Default 18" Wheels



Pics before new fenders and the F-Sport conversion. I am not fond of these OEM wheels.

Think I can stuff in 19x9 +42 without rubbing? The wheels currently have 255/40/19 Pirelli P Zeros on them but I 'd be willing to swap them out for 235/40 or 245/40 if needed? The rear coilovers are maxed out height wise and I don't want to adjust the fronts as I like the stance of the car. It is paramount that I not damage any of the new body panels or paint work.

it looks good with those 18”s on it though! What’s the width or your 19” wheels?
now I could use a subtle drop. Rears poke out a bit more than my liking but I’ll deal with it for now.

Those RC F wheels look great on the nebula pearl GS

@Tannerkra Any difference in handling, ride feel or comfort?

What do you guys think? They are 2011 Mustang GT Track Pack 19x9 + 42 offset wheels with 255/40/19s? Think they'll fit without rubbing? If need be I could get some 235 or 245/40/19 for them? I got the idea from: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-my-gs300.html
