Sorry in advance if this has been discussed before, but I'm new around here and searched the forum for a little while and couldn't find this particular question.

I have a 2013 GS 350 RWD Base, purchased a few months ago, and I'm looking to upgrade my wheels/tires. I want to go 235/40/19 in Front and 265/35/19 in Rear like the F-Sport model, but just wanted to ensure this staggered arrangement will fit.

Thanks for any advice, input and/or suggestions.

It will fit, it's the same exact car apart from a few suspension upgrades in FSport. Keep in mind those tire sizes are going to be a little more expensive and hard to find. I have a GS Luxury Package and I decided to go with aftermarket 20's just to have access to a readily available tire size. FSport wheels were definitely close 2nd place for me.

Welcome to Club Lexus and congrats on your GS you made a smart choice

They will fit, i once put the F Sport wheels on my vehicle, i have the base as well. However i switched them back to 18s because the ride got very bumpy for me. And they were the stock Lexus wheels not aftermarket. I would highly suggest driving on 19s before you commit.

Awesome! Thanks for the input and advice, much appreciated. I'm looking to put 19's on my car, nothing larger.

I currently have the Luxury 18" wheels, I ended up purchasing a 2013 CPO Obsidian w/ Luxury package with 18k miles back in September. Overall, I'm very happy with the car, I would just like to have a little larger rims with wider tires. But, can't complain, I got a very good deal on the car.

Thanks again for the input, and happy to find a great forum like this one!

a lot of people have 20s and they say the ride is good, but i dont know i might be extremely sensitive because as soon as i left the lot of the tire shop with the 19s and went down the driveway onto a rough rode, i immediately felt an undeniable difference. I was real bummed but i took them off after just 3 days.

As mentioned, the OEM F Sport tire sizes are not very common

When the crappy Dunlop OEM rears were gone at 18k, I went with 245 front and 275 rear (one size up each end) to get more choices and to keep the relationship between F and R essentially the same so as not to confuse the stability control system

so look around before you just get the OEM 235/265 sizes and pay more for less tire IMO

Okay, gotcha. Yea, I've been searching online and I think you guys are correct about the OEM sizes. I don't mind going 245/275, I used to have that setup years ago on my 1997 Pontiac Trans Am. The Dunlop OEM's aren't that great, like many of you have said and I agree. Looking forward to the upgrade.

Thanks again for the info and advice everyone.

Oh, I did have one more question regarding the TPMS. When you (or other people you may know) made the upgrade, did you keep the OEM TPMS? Reason I ask, is because my brother has a 2010 ES 350 Luxury, and I plan on selling him my wheels/tires + TPMS when I upgrade.

So, I will need to have an aftermarket TPMS installed in my new wheel/tire package and was wandering if the dealership can/will program it for my car? I heard I might be able to program it myself, but I haven't confirmed that and will need to look at the owner's manual in depth.

Just keep the sensors and use them on the new wheels, you dont need new sensors. Wasnt a huge fan of the Dunlops either, i switched mine to Pirellis, stock size.
