Default my final last question about wheels :)

hi guys

finally decided which wheels to go for just need some final help.

i have picked 3 wheels but specs are as below


8.5 J X 18" 5X114 ET35 FRONTS
9.5 J X 18" 5X114 ET35 REARS


and

5X114 8.5J X 18" ET42 front
5X114 8.5J X 18" ET42 back

and

5x114 8.5 X 18 ET32 ( FRONTS )
5x114 9.5 X 18 ET35 ( REARS )


three different wheels and offset is different on all of them . my question is if i go for any one of them above, wheels should fit ok to my GS300 MK2 yea ?

also somone said dont go 9.5 at back just stick to 8 all round or 8.5 all around ?

many thanks guys

i would go with staggered set up.... 8.5 F 9.5R for any lexus GS personally... and those offsets should fit fine on your car

5x114 9.5 X 18 ET35 ( REARS )

this is the best of the 3

although why are you going 18's? they are a little small for the car even with it being dropped.. thats just a personal opinion though.. i have 10's in the rear so 9.5 is no problem especially with 18's

thanks guys so basically 3 setup will go fine no problem i mean wihtout any arch/fender modification ?

i know 18 is bit small but where i live roads are crap and i cant be bothered driving at 20 mph. so with 18" wheels im trying to keep smooth comfy ride.
