Wheel fitment question... NEWB TO LEXUS
Ok guys, I'm new to this forum. Yes I've read the previous pages on wheel fitment but could not find what I was looking for. So heres my delima, I have an 04 GS300 an already have stance Coilovers waiting to go on. The wheels I have found an really like seem like they might be alil to aggressive for this car. The wheels are 19x10+22 in front 19x11+33 in the rear. What would you guys say about this, the wheels would have to be ordered from California, so there's no way to test fit since I'm here in Tennessee. I don't want to spend all this money to find out I'm stuck with a set of wheels. Any advise would be greatly appriciated...

Thats the thing, I don't really want to go to deep into fender work. One other thing is I talked to someone who was running 19x10.5+22 in the rear, an they said the wheel was very close to the coilover. So I'll be running roughly 23mm, basically a full inche, closer to the coilover than he was. That's the thing that's scaring me.

It's not major fender work only a roll or cut. No pulling required. Whoever said the 10.5 +22 is close to the suspension must really be fussy because I'm currently using 11+33 and I have about 1.5" clearance to my shock. Take my word for it the wheels you're looking at fit fine with minor fender work

YaKuZa_GS is right, I wouldn't worry about 19x11 +33's for the rears...
I had 19x11 +25 rears (the ones pictured in my sig) and only needed to adjust factory camber and shave the fenders. No issues with wheels hitting my coils.
I'm not sure about the fronts but judging by what you listed, the sizes should be good "flush" sizes. In the extreme cases, you'd have to shave down your calipers a bit (not advisable) in the event the spokes don't clear them. You may want to also find out which disk type the wheels are. Work wheels have three disk types:
O = won't clear BBK
A = standard
R = better suited for BBK

Its advertised that its a HI DISK (R) so it should clear stock calipers and even BBK if you choose to go that way. The 10+22 will clear the knuckle but about 15mm or so so you're good there. But I would invest in some adjustable front upper arms to camber it in a bit and roll the fronts with 235/35 and 245/35 rear and you're set. GL!

Well this is definitely good news. And I've been looking at fucas, and they will be ordered soon. I guess fender work isn't too big of an issue. I just want to make sure that the fenders still look stock an dont have lips pertruding out of the body for resell reasons. I'm still looking into other wheels so I'm not dead set on these just yet. I just want a clean daily to rock around in as I finish my.

Ha the wheels have been listed there for a minute. The wheels originally selected were very similar in size, just much more baller. Work verinzias,,, mmmmm, sold before I could order. Now stuck in limbo trying to see if anything comes out of the wood work. On other news, looked at the rear inner fenders and I guess I'll just trim that lip like y'all said. Btw y'all are very helpful and very friendly so far. I'm used to other Nissan forums where most people act very childish with any replies to people's questions. So once again thanks for the help, an if no wheels come at me I'll be ordering the works this week.
