ISF Rims on GS 350
Hey All, brand new member here. Does anyone know if it is possible to put on ISF rims on the new 4th Gen GS? I have a set on my IS250 but would like to put those on the GS. I plan on getting the car this summer.

Yeah it should fit with no problem on regular GS 350 models. Like rominl mentioned, the GS 350 F Sport version has larger calipers. IS F wheels wont fit on S 350 front because of the oversized stock caliper. This is also an issue with 3rd Gen GS 350/430/450h/460 models as they had the same front calipers as the IS 350.

BUT with a small 5mm spacer.. (never tried it myself)
The spacer pushes the inner wheel face away from the caliper surface..
The IS350 Front caliper was slightly shorter and wider compared to the Brembo caliper which is slightly taller and narrow.. But also keep in mind the hubs on an IS-F push things out about .25" which changed rotor and caliper placement.
(The rears fit easily.)
Considering the IS-F front is 19x8 w/ +45 mm and the new OEM GS F-Sport Wheels clear the larger brakes, these just might fit..
Let me dig up the OEM GS350 F-Sport Front Wheel specs .. to be continued..
..OK - so the Front GS350 F-Sport Wheel is also 19x8 w/ +45mm .. So on paper it should be GOOD with no spacer..
All thats left to do is to see if the inner face of the IS-F wheel blade design clears the 2013 GS350 & GS350 F-Sport calipers..
The rear OEM GS350 F-Sport Wheel is 19x9 w/ +60mm offset .

^^ Actually, from the test fitments I did back in 2008.. An IS-F wheel could fit on an IS350 or GS350 Front, with a small 5mm spacer.. (never tried it myself)
.. The spacer pushes the inner wheel face away from the caliper surface..
The IS350 caliper was slightly shorter and wider compared to the Brembo caliper which is slightly taller and narrow.. But also keep in mind the hubs on an IS-F push things out about .25" which changed rotor and caliper placement.
Considering the IS-F front is 19x8 w/ +45 mm and the new F-Sport Wheels clear the larger brakes these just might fit..

Pole Position
The wheel design of the new GS Fsport did reminds me of the ISF wheel, but the new GS wheels wont be forged alu and weights more, so for the handling the ISF would be great
