Default Want a confirmation that TRD racing wheels will fit on a GS

I was looking at www.l-tunedparts.com and I can across the following TRD racing wheels.



According to the part description on the following page, they will only fit an IS300.

http://www.l-tunedparts.com/html/partsordering-trd.html

But at the top of the page they have this pic which looks like a GS with those wheels on it.



I want to confirm that they will fit on a GS and are they silver or brushed aluminum (or whatever they call the unpainted finish). Thanks.

Any wheel that fits a IS300 will fit a GS techincally but IS wheels are just narrower....however, the TRD Sport Wheel is available in 18" x 7.5", 8.5" and 9.5"...

On your GS, you would do 18x8.5" for the fronts and you can also do that for the rear (so you can rotate your tires) or you can do a staggered setup witha 18x9.5" out back with wider tires (275) but you won't be able to rotate your tires to the front...you can only do a left/right rotation and only if you have NON-directional tires...

Thanks manaray. After I posted it up, I noticed that they were narrower than the stock 17"s wheel and I didn't want to do that. Now that I know they're available in 8.5" width, I might do that on all 4.

I'm still debating whether to put stock GS400/430 17" chrome wheels on the car, the lsportline model IV single piece in chrome 18 x 8.5" or these TRD wheels in 18 x 8.5".

Is the correct tire size 245/40R18 for both 18 x 8.5" wheels?
