Default IS-F rims on GS350 2007 ?

Does anyone know if the IS-F 19 inch rims fit on a 07' GS 350 ?

last I heard was that the offsets are off, u might have to run spacers to have a proper stance..

yea, i thought about it too

not bad.

i'd still prefer aftermarket rims unless the F rims were dirt cheap.

offsets are probably ok, but front wheels don't clear calipers... barely touching. so it's your call

But aren't the brakes on the IS-F larger?

The 06~07 GS430 5 spoke looks better than the IS F... IMO

I think they look pretty sharp. I think a set of 20's would look better than the ISF 19" wheels or the stock 18" wheels.

larger in terms of diameter, however the calipers aren't as thick as the gs350 brakes. someone already test fitted the is-f wheels on is350, which has the same brakes as gs350. just as i first guessed, the wheel spokes don't completely clear the 350 calipers

even tighter than this? maybe you can kick the wheels out a little wider.

Correct, it was JoeZ that tested the IS-F rims on his IS350. The front caliper is a little larger in terms of size than the IS-F Brembos. The IS-F brembos are defined vs. the 3GS/2IS front brake calipers being a raw undefined block of metal. So no they wont fit on unless you push them out with spacers.
