F-sport Wheels - Experts Please Help!
All - I am tempted to order the Fsport wheels, which I love and think are GREAT... so I have some questions I hope you can help with:
1) Does anyone have pictures of a GS with these wheels already (prferably a G in Smokey Granite Mica)
2) Does the offset on these wheels indicate they will be more flush with the fenders?
3) The recommended tire size from Lexus is: 1
Front: Tire: Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
225/35ZR19 88Y XL
Front: Tire: Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
255/35ZR19 96Y XL
Is this the maximum size I can put on there without rubbing and to ensure a flush alignment with the fenders???

I believe I read on Sewell's website that the F-Sport wheels have to be purchased with the F-Sport lug nut set ($150). So that may also allow extra room for your spacers.

When I bought the spacers, I changed out the lugs to +5mm over factory.... I have enough now, so assuming the wheels themselves aren't thicker than the factory (i.e., more wasted stud length within the hub of the wheel), I should be fine... but, GREAT tip and something to bear in mind when they are mounted...

most aftermarket wheels use cone type lugs. i wonder if that's the reason.
but regardless, the lugs shouldn't determine how much stud distance you have to play with though
