Default Wheel fitment question. *Noob*

Hey hows it going Club Lexus. First of all, I just made my purchase on my first Lexus last night and absolutely loving it. I have no knowledge of the car yet and had some questions regarding wheel size / fitment for our GS. So I have some Work VSXX wheels sitting in my garage that I took off from my previous car (Genesis Coupe) and was wondering if the size is too aggressive or wouldn't work at all.

Front: 20x9.5 +24
Rear: 20x11 +19

Thank You

Nice! another former gencoupe owner.

the front is too aggressive without fender getting pulled out... needs fender pull, stretch and roll the fender tabs in.

the rears.... let me just tell you that my setup.. 20x10.5 +35 is semi-flush with a very minor pull, 275/30/20 tires and negative camber as much as stock arms can take me.

yea.. i've tried 20x10.5 +25 and it was a nightmare... i wasn't down to roll around with 245/35/20 tires on a car that comes with 265/35/19 stock for the rears..... just didn't sound right to me but that was the only way to get them to fit without overly pulling out my fenders and getting camber arms for more negative... best bet is to get them re-barreled.. haha.

yep just like jjashaa said its a headache. no way , GS is the cleanest way with no issues 20x9 front 38 ET and the rear 20x10.5 with 45 ET, the front u can run between 32-35 it rubs on turns little but 38 is safe. good luck
