Default Will 17s fit on 2013 f sport

Hi all, I'm a noob here and this is my first lexus. My question may have been beat over the head many times but i can not find a thread for so i apologize in advance.

Now since we got that out the way. I am wondering will 17s fit on the 2013 gs f sport awd? I am asking because I'm looking to get a set of winter tires and well. If 17s do fit what offset should I be looking for so i know that they will clear the brakes?

Thank you In advance

They will not. The brakes are too big up front to fit 17s.

Thank you for your reply. Since 17s will not fit im pretty sure 18s will fit. Any idea of what off set o should be looking for?

If you have an AWD version of the 4GS, I believe that 17's will fit. There are AWD GS's that come stock with 17" wheels. Only the F-SPORT RWD brakes are larger up front which would cause a brake clearance issue.

I would still confirm with a dealership or maybe a few other members can chime in. I usually go by tirerack.com's data as they usually have great OEM information for wheels and tires.

If you go down to 18's, your looking at an OEM offset of 45 (with tires 235/45/18). If you drop to 17's, your looking at the same offset of 45 (with tires 225/50/17).

Are you certain? If you go onto Tirerack they have a pre-configured winter package with 17's.

AWD F sport has the same standard sized small brakes.. not the larger RWD FSport 14" rotors
