f sport wheels on base GS 350
The stock f sport staggered wheels should fit just fine on my 2013 GS 350 AWD base, right?

Yes, but putting staggered on AWD means coordinating tires. The overall diameter needs to be as close to the same as possible.

Nope. That's perfect.
Front diameter - 26.4"
Back diameter - 26.3"

From everything that anyone who has staggered an AWD, that is the #1 requirement...other than the actual wheels and tires fitting. Did you run those same size tires?

NO, you can not do such a thing. You would ruin your rear diff. It is not only about diameter, it is about the contact patch of the tire that sits on the ground. This is what is most important. On an AWD car, the unsprung weight has to be pretty much even on all four corners and the tires need to be the exact same size is order to avoid damaging your differential. This advice comes from my many years of Evo 9 and Evo X ownership.
