Default Wheels

Wanted to upgrade my 16 inch wheels will these look good on a gs300

Looking to upgrade my stock 16 inch wheels do you think these 18 inch Infiniti’s would fill in the gaps and look good

Looks are subjective. I think they’d overfill actually. What size are the tires?

They would work. I believe you would also need hub rings if you bought those Infiniti wheels.

You could also try looking for man of the 17 to 19 inch OEM Lexus wheels to put on your GS as well. Sometimes they’re really cheap. I bought a pair of beat up 04 LS430 17’s for $150 with tire last spring.

I have been struggling to find easy fitting wheels. Many seem to have incorrect offsets. Id hate to buy wheels that don’t fit.

Well they’d fit, almost the same as stock.

Google. Infiniti is generally 66.1 and Lexus is generally 60.1

Hes just saying they’re ugly and I don’t disagree. If you just need something to roll on and are broke then get them, there’s no shame there. If you want different wheels that look good and have better fitment then pass on these and keep looking.

No they aren't. They're incredibly common and the 2GS is a very easy car to find wheels for, with a wide range of usable specs.

I just found the ones in this post and people are telling me the wheels are too tall. Seems tough to me.

I believe Infiniti use a 66.1 hub and our cars need a 60.1 hub ring. I used the rubber or plastic ones. I've had metal hub rings that got stuck to the hub and I spent hours prying off.

The correct sizes of tire for the 2GS are also very common and readily available.
