Default Can 18" Wheels Fit on 4th Gen GS w/ F Sport Brakes?

Hi Guys,

I could not find a thread on this but can 18" Wheels Fit on 4th Gen GS w/ F Sport Brakes? I thinking about running staggered 18X8 (235/45 18) and 18X9 (265/40 18) w/ all season ultra performance on a 2015 GS450H.

Any takers? Thanks.

I have aftermarket 19s and it is really close. I would say they won't work. Hard to tell from this pic but maybe have half an inch or less clearance on the wheel diameter

Thanks for the reply NXXT. Nice custom paint.

Consider me old fashioned but I like the taller side wall. If there was a way to re-calibrate the revolution, I would run higher profile tires. Hahaha.

Just bought some 18" TSW Rouges and learned the hard way that they did NOT clear the F-Sport brake callipers. And now they are up for sale. So, try before you buy!

It can fit with the correct offset, I ran my StopTech brakes on my 18" XXR wheels temporary until I got my wheels and no rubbing at all.

35mm offset?

Isn't the F Sport's front factory offset set at positive 45 mm?
So you needed a special offset of positive 35 mm to get the 18" wheels to clear the F Sport's front brakes?
In other words, you have increased your front track by 20 mm overall?

You can probably use Spacers to get some clearance.
