Thanks. I forgot and didn't have the O***s near me to look at the back for specs.

Are you trying to get a set? Somtimes Lexus OEM wheels run cheap in certain places if you catch them at the right time. Mainly Ebay, other times junk yards are your best friend.

No, but thanks for the info.

I actually have aftermarket wheels on my GS now, but am replacing them with another set and just wanted to reference the offsets for comparison to see how the new wheels would sit (stance) compared to the O***s.

I am going to be installing Ray's Lexion Type 203. I decided to go with the black face w/polished lip. The fronts will be 20x8.5 and the rears will be 20x9.5. The offsets will be +38 for the fronts and +45 for the rears.

For the fronts, the clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 1mm MORE & the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 13mm. And for the rears, the clearance from the inside of the wheel will be 19mm LESS & the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 19mm.

I think that this will be the right stance and clear properly. The 6mm difference between the fronts and the rears will keep the rears from looking like they tuck in too much compared to the fronts.

This will be a nice fitment.

I measured the new GS the other day- based on the OE 18x8 +45 wheels:

The front can safely go out 15mm, with 20mm being flush with the outside of the fender.
The rear can safely go out about 20mm, with 30mm being flush with the outside of the fender.
