Will aftermarket rims off a Supra fit my GS300?
I was thinking about purchasing a set of Asanti AF122 wheels (20x8.5 F and 20x10 R) off a 96 Supra for my 04 GS300. The owner of the wheels does not know the offset and I can't find any info to tell me if the rims will fit my car or not. The rims does not have tires on them so I can not test fit it. Please let me know if anyone knows the answer to my problem. Thank you

The bolt pattern will fit for sure, the offsets may be an issue for you however as the Supra uses a considerably wider wheel factory than the GS does.
To give you and idea this GS is for sale in the classifieds and is running stock Supra wheels.

They are the Supra N/A wheels however which are 16x8 (closed to stock GS fitment) but if you are buying wheels from a TT you may need to be a little more concerned with fitment. Might be worth paying a local member $20 and gas to test fit the wheels on their car and send you pics. To test fit wheels without tires just mount the wheel as normal and then lower the car down slowly with a jack and a piece of wood under the wheel. Lower the jackdown to about ride height and you should be able to get a rough eyeball if the wheel is sticking out too far etc.....
Either that, or just have the guy take the wheels to a competent wheel shop and they should be able to measure the wheel and give a pretty good estimate of the offset.

Just be sure if you're going to run a 9" width rim in the front to not get too high an offset. My Blitz Z3's are high disk 19x9J +41 and are pretty close to the suspension. I'm rolling on L-tuned shocks/springs. Might switch to coilovers though.
