Default Factdory 17" Lexus wheels installed (IS250)

I've been on the hunt for factory 17s for a while that will fit and appear to be stock. I did not want 18s. The IS300 wheels are too skinny.

I came across these IS250 wheels. But the owner put the wrong size tires on them for another application.

They are 17x8, 35 offset. He put 235/50/17 all around. They might look a little chubby, but I am happy with them. Once I put a little spacer in the back and lower the front just a hair, they should look 100% original. IMO the GS should have come with 17s stock.

MOD: please correct spelling in title..

Sorry about the mistake. I'm a Gen 1 SC/GS guy, so I forgot all about the GS400.

GS400 was 235/45/17. I would agree, but the rims already came 235/50 so I"m going to use them till they are done.

I was checking out some Aristo V300 17" factory wheels on some videos and I do agree the 45s do look better.
