Forgot to add: the Falken 21" tires I had on these are still available, basically no miles on them. 255/30-21 front and 295/25-21 rear.
Wheels and tires, $4500 shipped within the continental USA.
A super-smokin' deal; once in a lifetime!

If this is how its set up (below) then yes assuming you are also lowered. Front is not an issue at all as I have lower offset and no mods. These would look sick on a 3gen GS
Tire size below is good also. You could go with 285 (assuming they make it) if you want to stretch the tire for more breathing room.
Front: 21x9.0 +37 with 2.5" lip
Rear: 21x11.0 +49 with 3.5" lip
These would work great with 255/30-21 + 295/25-21 tires

LOL Richie (Hope things are good on your end).. Bob won't ship these to Canada much less Europe but can't hurt to ask.. MIAMIGS3 please pull the trigger and get these on your GS I think they would look killer on the new body style.

Some of you know I had these awesome D2FORGED wheels on my GS; They were actually used as a "placeholder" of sorts while I was working on another wheel project.
This is a fantastic opportunity to own basically a NEW set of D2FORGED 3-piece wheels. They were on the car for month or two but it was never driven in that time.
I've re-configured the lips on these wheels to make them an easier fit for 1GS/2GS/3GS, SC430, or LS430 applications. The way the wheels are now configured they should require little (if any) vehicle modifications. If the vehicle is extremely low you may experience minor rubbing of the plastic fender liners up front when turning, due to the overall diameter of the tires (the 255/30-21s are the same height as 255/35-20, for reference).
The wheels are 5x114.3 with the hubs cut to 60.1mm, hub-centric for Lexus/Toyota vehicles.
Also, they were built to accept big brake kits; the fronts cleared my StopTechs with room to spare and the rears will clear any BBK I can think of.
Specifications:
D2FORGED VS4 5-spoke design
Centers: "BBC" finish, brushed spokes with polished windows & clear coat
Outers: Chrome plated
Inner rims: Charcoal metallic (gloss) powder coat
Center caps: billet aluminum, brushed with clear coat
Front: 21x9.0 +37 with 2.5" lip
Rear: 21x11.0 +49 with 3.5" lip
These would work great with 255/30-21 + 295/25-21 tires. These offsets would look nice on a GS or an LS430. They would be a bit weak on the SC430 but I could build them with the deeper lips to fix that.
BTW, D2Forged has the Falken FK-452s available on special in these sizes (one set only) for $1000.00 These are the exact tires I had on my car. 100 feet of street use, only driven on the street to photograph the set-up.
FITMENT: When I had these wheels on my car, they were 1/2" wider front & rear with the additional 1/2" at the outside, giving a 3" front and 4" rear lip. This is what is shown in the pics, below. I could easily rebuild the wheels this way at no additional charge. This is quite a strong fitment, especially with the Falken Fk-452s which run very wide in their 21" offerings. A different tire would offer more stretch and make the fitment easier, such as Pirelli NERO in 255/30-21 and 295/25-21. This more aggressive set-up would fit the SC430 quite well.
Keep in mind, my car has trimmed fender lips on all four corners and all quarters/fenders were pulled slightly before the car was painted. Also note that I have the OE camber adjusters set as positive as possible (-2.3 degrees) and if you maxed the camber more negative they would be an easier fit with the bigger lips.
List price for this set is $7100 ($1775 each with BBC centers, billet center caps & powder coated inners). BTW, I'm in SoCal but would box and ship them anywhere in the continental US at no charge.
I'll let these go for $4000/set for the wheels only. If you take advantage of the set of Falken rubber from D2-Autosport, the wheels AND tires can be had for $5000/set.
Questions? Get me at bigaudiobob@gmail.com
A couple VSC members know me and would likely vouch (including John aka VIPStyleCars), and a bunch of ClubLexus guys have dealt with me throughout the years, including DaveGS4 and several mods, including RICHIE, rominl, RMMGS4, Neo, etc., and a few other CL regulars such as Joe Z, TTurboPimp, R.U.IN.AW, AlSilverBullet, etc.
I'd love to keep these wheels but I have another project going on right now and cash flow is the name of the game.
My loss is your gain! Thanks for looking.
Cheers,
Bob

Wheels are still available. 
Not a scratch on them; tires were mounted at one point in time, but never drive on for more than just down the street and back for photography. There was a price adjustment; I posted above.
