Depending on the offset, they could sit further into your wheel wells than your stock wheels. Although I think there was a fellow member who put them on their GS and they seemed to look just fine to me.

gotta get that traction for that turbo? nice.

The stock width is 7.5". So If anything, go wider. If you start subtracting, your car wont handle as well.

Holy incorrect statement Batman!!!! A narrower wheel does not mean poorer handling.

Is that a Lexus wheel or Lexus replica? Cheap usually means it is.

I would not get RX rims for the GS. I do like the 3GS 18" wheel on the 2GS like ChuckB.

Yeah that looks like a Liksus Logo, not a Lexus logo. Cheapo ebay Replicas. Besides you could probably get genuine stock wheels for that price.

that indeed IS an original Lexus logo. The pic is of an original wheel, the product is not. If I was u, I would save up a bit more and get the LS430 wheels. 18x8 +45 =)
