If I may add my two cents,
It doesnt seem as tho the spacers are necessary as he had the wheels on the car before he added the spacers..The spacers are there simply for asthetic purposes...as to not have that "sunken wheel" look but instead to be more flush with the fenders and quarters.

I have a GS300 AWD.
This is what it looks like without the spacers, btw. I did not push these out to "extreme" poke or anything.
They are literally pushed out to approximately OE spacing.

DOPE setup!!!!! I myself was really thinking of going with IS-F wheels, however they're hard to come by (AND pricey @$700/wheel). Any suggestions?? I have an 08' AWD GS350 in triple black.

awesome!!! I thought about doing this 5 years ago and even photoshopped them on my car but never really pulled through to do it since I knew about the spacers and I didn't really want to run them
it looks great! good choice

Simmsled, do you by chance know the offset of these wheels?
Size: 19 x 8 Front, 19 x 9 Rear
Offset: 45mm Fronts / 55mm Rears
15mm spacers on front = 30mm offset
20mm spacers on rear =35mm offset
I was a professional race engineer years ago, and there is method to those offsets in regard to wheel/suspension/steering geometry. I'll leave it at that.
I am now wondering if a non-staggered setup of the 19x8.0 would work well on a GS350 AWD.

Its not the staggered setup that is the difficult-to-fit aspect of these wheels on a GS350. It is the fact that the fronts do not clear the larger brake calipers of the GS350/GS430/GS460. Long story short, 19x8 all around would work, but you would still need spacers.
Thanks for the love everyone!
