Default 4GS wheels on 3GS(2010 450h)

I tried searching but i couldn't finding anything definitive about if they could fit without spacers. So can any confirm whether or not the 4Gs 19" wheels fit the 3GS (specifically my 2010 450h) without spacers?

Fits my 430, used a 20mm spacer in the rear.

Did you add the spacer simply to push it out because your dropped? or was it needed for clearance?

Added the spacer in the rear to have a more flush appearance. Shaved rears, rolled fronts, with some camber all around.

When I get new tires, I will probably do a mild stretch for the front and rear (225front/255rear staggered f-sports) and swap a 25mm to the rear and the 20mm to the front. I am hoping I'll have enough clearance on the front fender to do full lock to lock turns (on hard turns, my wheel rubs against the fender).

Just a heads up, if you run the OEM tires from the 4g f-sports (IIRC 235/40/19F 265/40/19r), your running a slightly larger tire than stock. I think its about an inch larger in diameter. If your slammed, you will rub.


When I used to be lower... :x

what are you lowered on? I'm AWD lowered on Tien springs but want to go a bit lower. Thinking of getting BC coilovers soon.

@boss - lowered on BCs with swifts. Haven't ridden in other lowered 3gs so cant compare the ride quality, but if I was to do it all, id look into KW's (the is250/350s SHOULD fit, but do some research) or 326power coils. I hear the 326power's ride nice even when slammed. The ride on good roads is superb; bumpy/dips/railroad tracks not so much.

@wicked - Thanks! Stance isn't quite where I want it, but its always the question of play with spacer or new wheels Don't think I'll go 20s. They fill out the wheel wells nice, but . Maybe when I have more time on my hands I'll play around with some wheels/tire/alignment settings.
