So I just bought a 2011 GS and some Vossen wheels. I'm planning on getting the '14 or '15 GS when the time comes for another car. Would the wheels on the 3GS fit on the 4GS?

+60 Offset for the rear is just yikes!

That's very odd; this means that the staggered rear wheel sits a tiny bit more inboard than if you used the front wheel on the rear. In other words, the 19x8 +45 at all four corners actually fits the rear about 2mm more aggressively (closer to the fender) than the 19x9 +60 F Sport wheel. DUMB!
Of course, the rears are very weak and can surely take a more aggressive offset.

i wonder if it's a typo or so, it's really silly if they have a staggered setup but then the rear sits more inboard compared to if using the front wheel.

My guess for the high rear wheel offset was the space left over by the revised rear suspension design and room for movement with Dynamic Rear Steer. There is a larger trunk thanks to this revised rear suspension design:

FYI for All...
Not a typo at all... The 19x9 rear wheel is indeed stamped 60+ offset...
It's a slighty conservative approach to adding the widest rear tire size Lexus has ever run on a sedan..
265/35/19
It's really NOT a big deal when you think about it..
It is ONLY 1/5 th of an inch less aggressive than the IS-F rear wheel.. 19x9 w/55+ offset..
(1/5 th equals 0.19685 inches or simply 0.20 inches )
For what its worth, the current IS-F only runs a 255/35/19 tire... I'm sure that will now have to change for the 3rd Gen IS-F.
