if the 5/112 wheel is drilled at 14mm (bolt hole), it would fit. But keep in mind that it wont be center and would cause wheel vibrations. So I would not recommend it. Move on to another wheel.

5X112 WILL fit your GS. You will need to use tuner lugs and make sure you get a good set of hub centric rings.

You do not need to RE-DRILL! I am running Lowenhart LSR 5X112s on my 98 GS300, all you have to use are 'stepped' or 'tuner' lugnuts in order for the application to work!

European wheel fitment (5x120) wouldn't work though right?

No problem guys! Just a heads up, as mentioned in my earlier post, you need to get a set of hubcentric rings. This is a must for all Lexus vehicles anyways, so for those that have aftermarket rims, you should already have them. For the most part, I have not had any problems, but with the tuner/stepped lugs, there will be a little play, play around with it a little to get rid of the vibrations.

Holy ******! I did not know this was even possible! If anyone wants, I can put them in touch with a guy who knows of a shop in Ca that re-drills bolt patterns on rims for $100/per rim.
