Default Wheel Offset Question for 2000 Lexus GS300

Would the following work, and look ok?

Rears: 20"x10" 45mm offset

Fronts: 20"x8.5" 45mm offset

Tires

(2) 245/35/20

BTW these are Lowenhart BR5s.

Thx.

According to rominl's FAQ: 98+ GS300/400/430, IS300, and SC430 wheels fitment guide (which is at the top of this forum).

I really hope so.. because when I looked at the fitment guide for GS I didn't see 45 mm offset front and back listed for the GS... weird...

well it's not listed coz' it's actually more conservative than what i stated, so by default it fits (unless it's so conservative that it hits the inside). if i have to list all numbers then boy it's going to be very long

Thanks for the responses..

Will the 45mm offset look weird? I always hear people telling me to get a different offset if I were to get 20s. I think it was 38mm for the front and something else for the back..

I just don't want the wheel to stick out.. I would like it to be flush with the side of the car.. my friend told me that if I got the wrong offset it would either stick too much inside or the wheel would stick out..?

they won't look weird, pretty good imho

if you can get 8.5 +38 front and 10 +45 that would be even better, but you are not losing much right now

and even though it's same "offset" front and back, but you still have staggered setup coz' you have 10" wheel in the back, that's aggressive. it will be pretty flush to the car fronta nd back
