I recently purchased a new 2016 GS 350 F sport with the intention that the tires on this car were offset. As per Lexuses website it states they are 19 inch five spoke alloy wheels with 235/40 R 19's in the front and 265/35R 19 in the rear. However when I brought the car home I noticed the car only had 235 40 R 19 all the way around. I tried calling the dealership they did not have a response they asked me to call Lexus. I have called Lexus and I am waiting for a callback from their manager. Has anyone else had the similar issue?

Is yours an AWD model?

For the GS F Sport, the RWD models have staggered tires and the AWD models do not.

nminhas

Yes it all wheel drive. However, if you read their website the stagger tires exist for the all-wheel-drive version as well

The web site is in error. All AWD GS350s have a square set up.

Here is a better resource:

Agreed. It's actually a benefit on the AWD because you can rotate the tires and get way more miles out of them. Staggered RWD fitments...well, we're SOL on this one.

JDR76

For sure. My IS350 AWD had a staggered fitment, so I was not able to rotate them. When I got the GS, I was pleased to see the square setup.

I believe IS AWD is staggered, not the GS AWD.

OP...you obviously misread the website. It clearly states staggered setup is on the RWD in the last line.

JDR76

No, he's right about the web site. On the full site (not mobile), when you click on specs under the GS350 F Sport AWD it states it has a staggered setup. It's just a web site error.

Weird how the 2013 Lexus GS 350 F Sport RWD here in Malaysia came with square set up. 18 inch rims btw.

Want to thank everyone for there comments. I just wanted to give everyone an update on the tire issue. I made a formal complaint into Lexus approximately five days ago. I received a call back from the management team. She reports that I am correct that on the website it does show a staggered pattern for the 2016 GS 350 AWD F sport. She reports she will be working with the dealer directly to rectify the issue. It looks like something will be done whether they replaced the tires or some other form of compensation. Once I get the final verdict I will let everyone know.
