Default gs400 rims on IS3

Hey all,

Just checking to see if the GS400 rims will fit on a IS300....if I'm correct they are pretty much the same style, just a bit wider with a 235 tire. Will they fit without rubbing? Think they'll rub with a 245 tire? New to this section, thanks for the help!

Yeah I think 245 is too big for the fronts without fender mods.

how about 235's? Would I have to go down to 225's? I know I could stuff 225's on a stock IS Rim but I'f I'm going to have to buy new ones anyways why not get the GS's? Thanks for the reply's!

GS has both 16s and 17s as options.

I don't know why you would get GS stockies (unless it was free), IMHO, I would rather get some FD wheels....

Default Here's the deal...

I just put a set of '07 18" 5 spoke GS wheels on my '04 IS 300. My IS is dropped 1.5" and I have to say that my setup looks awesome, but is as big as I think you can go without rubbing against the front suspension components. Here's my setup:

Lexus 18x8 ET45 GS430 wheels
P225 40 18 tires

The offset is perfect and looks "factory"......
