Hello everyone! I posted a thread about a month ago about my 13 GS350 F Sport misfiring when i do 70 mph..... i took it to 2 different lexus dealers several times n they both told me thats its my after market Wheels causin the misfire. I have 20's staggered wheels with hub centric spacers in the front only. I have contacted lexus Corporate about my issue i told them that the vehicle only started doing it right after it hit 60,000 miles n the car ran fine with my after market wheels the two years. I don't have my Stock 19' F sport wheels n i need to barrow some to test drive my car to see if it misfires when i hit 70+ MPH. Im located in Corona by riverside. Anyone in Orange county or Inland empire willing to help me out???
Did they seriously tell you that your WHEELS are causing the misfire in the ENGINE?! That is the most asinine thing I have ever heard someone say about a problem with a vehicle. I guess they'll do anything to get out of fixing the problem...
Well at 60k he's out of warranty so basically they can't find anything and looking the car that would have been an easy diagnostics lol, that's the most lame thing I have heard engine causing misfire cas of the wheels. If would have been in Texas I could have given u my wheels just to prove the dealer wrong lol.
Thats a load of crap since half the people on this forum have aftermarket wheels, is there any other dealer that is close that you could try a third opinion cause that is the stupidest answer I have heard from a dealer, I would ask them to explain that theory.
I cant believe I am reading this, y would wheels cause misfire, so all of us should be at the dealer with misfire, that service guy is the dumbest person I have ever seen, find another dealer bro, Just like Bigblack06 said explain it to me.
I'm wondering if maybe the OP's car has a vibration that is felt at 70 mph and the OP thinks this vibration feels to him like the engine is misfiring, however the dealer believes the cause [of the vibration that feels like the engine is misfiring] is actually the aftermarket wheels...and the engine is not misfiring at all. I think there is a strong likelihood that there is a misunderstanding of what the dealer thinks the actual problem is versus what the OP thinks the problem is...and this is not being conveyed to us by the OP.

Could be. OP could maybe double check balancing on his wheels and also making sure there isn't a bend on one of the rims. OP, are you triggering any codes on the car? Misfires should report if you have a obd reader.
