No offense, but using a different car company factory wheels kinda defeats the purpose of going aftermarket wheels...

WORD! I just bought some 19s for my 335 but if I could pass them on to the lexus I'm gonna go 20.
NVM I just googled it up. and all you need is adapters.

I never said "hey check out my new aftermarket wheels!"

Wanted to try it so I am. I coulda got a very similar spoked concave wheel and their would be no issues, but cause it has the BMW center cap. Which will be fixed

Right now I'm using 19mm adapters front and rear

Wheels are 19x9 and 19x10 with stock +24 offsets. So I'm in the +5 offset range now, fenders rolled. Prolly adjust the camber slightly once I get it aligned

I know that and that's not my point. For me, so no offense, it's kinda degrading Toyota/Lexus. It's like saying, BMW could've done it better if they designed the car... But again, to each his own...
