Getting ready to make the switch from my RC 350 F Sport to the RCF. I'm not a fan of the factory Lexus wheels, so the first change I made to my RC was to install 20 inch Vossen VFS6 wheels. I was hoping that I could use these on the RCF, but thought they might not fit over the larger brake calipers. I contacted vossen and was disappointed to find out that the offsets of 38 front and 45 rear will not work on the RCF. I purchased that wheel fitment based on what other RC owners were using on their cars and it is a perfect fit IMO. So I'm want to ask you RCF owners what size you have found to work best for your cars. I like 20's and would probably go with wider than stock tires. It also seems that there is a limited number of manufactures that make wheels for the RCF. I was looking at Vorsteiner vff-103 in silver, but not available. Thanks for your help.
The offsets will work with the stock rim widths. But it depends on the Vossen rim width. If that rear is like 11" then you may foul the rear suspension at +45. Stock is +41 with 10" width and it's pretty close to rubbing.
I don't know about the caliper clearances.
It doesn't hurt to test fit them first. You already have them. If they don't fit then you can sell them and get rims that do fit.
The fronts are 20 X 9 +38 with 235/35 ZR 20 Michelin PSS and the rears are 20 X 10.5 +45 with 275/30 ZR 20 Michelin PSS. I contacted vossen in Florida and the rep (who said he once owned a RCF) told me that I would need to use 15mm spacers or the wheels would sit to far inside the wheel wells. He said I should use a 25 offset. I don't want to use spacers. So I thought it would be best to ask guys that have an RCF and find out what they are running. If the dealer had an RCF in stock I would do a test fit, but these cars are not as popular in Ohio, as they are in warm weather states where you can drive them year round. Thanks

I mean you can buy the RC F and test fit on your own car. Unless you are telling me that you aren't buying the RC F if the rims don't fit?
I'm not a fan of spacers.
With the +45 offset the outside of the wheel will be about 2-3mm farther out than stock. It will not sit inside any deeper than stock. whether or not that is too deep is up to you. Here are some pics of my ride with 10.5" rear rim at +32 offset:
+25 will stick out another 1/4" (7mm). Just to give you an idea.

Thanks for the information. The wheels are not the deciding factor on purchasing the car, but I was hoping to be able to save the cost of buying new wheels, plus I think the vossen wheels will look good on the RCF in ultrasonic blue.

Hey. I can tell you from personal experience the wheels will fit your RCF but the fitment will not be flush. The 20x9 +38 / 20x10.5 +45 is a flush fitment for the RC350/RC200. They will work on the RCF but since the RCF has an offset different the wheels will just sit in by about 12-15mm. You can use spacers to push the wheels back out making them flush again.
Another good option to check out would be the WORK Series by Vossen. I had a set of their VWS-3 20x9.5 / 20x11 on my RCF before i sold it and it looked amazing.
