Default G Spider Wheels on 2010 GS450h

Did a search in the hybrid section and found nothing . . . . I know someone knows the answer. Will the G Spider 18's fit the GS450h? I have seen an application for earlier versions, maybe 2007-8, but nothing newer than that.

Was thinking of going with a set. I know it isn't sexy and is very basic, but I saw a GS350 with the wheels and I like the look.

If the answer is already here somewhere, will someone point me to it? Thanks!

i'm fairly sure that 18" G spider wheels should fit. we are talking about stock wheels after all.

They do. Positive on this, I had mine on my GSh for about 6 hours. Looked worse than the hybrid wheels, to me anyway.

Wow! Worse than the OE's that came on the car? The pre-2010 wheels are very ugly, and the 2010-11 are just ugly. Was looking to stay stock, but change it up a little. Wasn't sure if the h had different specs/offset than the rest of the cars with the 18" setup. Understanding of course that the IS has the staggered setup.

Thanks for the feedback from you and rominl!

The wheels are how I can spot a GSh from the millions of 350awd's and 430's around by me.

Can someone point me to a thread that can tell me, or know right away what the offset of the stock 2010-11 GSh wheel is? My guess would be 45.

Lol, I totally agree they don't look good on the car I think, If I had to choose something other than the GSh rims I would go with the tourmaline wheels which seems to be a secret about people knowing that it exists.

Yep, those and the LS 18" Teleios



These 19"s would look rather hawt on the GSh too.

buy a used set of aftermarket rims and keep the OEM rims for winter if you need that.

I love these wheels!!!! But I don't think they will work on the GSh, will they? I thought they had a different bolt pattern, size, and offset. But I guess you can make anything work with adapters, spacers, etc.

I honestly assumed they were the same bolt pattern...your right 5x120.
Never would a thunk it.

Still looking for anybody with that offset number for the stock wheels on the 2010 GSh?

stock wheels for 2010 GSh should be the same as prior years GSh...so yes, stock offset is +45.

see this old link for details:
