Corvette wheels on my GS?

Although I am rolling an SC the offset should be just about the same on the GS. In order to run C6 wheels your gonna need your fenders rolled and pulled slightly in the rear even if your not dropped. I have the 18/19 stag setup and I am running a 295/30/19 on the rear. You will need 25mm adapters and then your good. Go for it man if you dont like it then sell them to me. LOL

Just bought some of these exact wheels last week..I am also running an sc and can't wait till summer to put them on... my only question is did you have to reroute the wiring harness in the driver's side wheel well in order to prevent rubbing..my 18's I have on there now have pretty much rubbed half way through the harness and I have decided to relocate all wiring into engine bay?? Have you or anyone else had this pebble with there wheel fitment?

They are staggered diameter (rear tires are 1" taller than the front) which will likely cause an issue for the traction control and ABS systems; cars like the Corvette are designed and programmed for this, but the Lexus cars like to have the same diameter front & rear. The staggered width isn't a problem.
You'll need a decent-sized spacer/adapter because the Corvette wheels are very high offset. I'm not crazy about doing stuff like this (I HATE adapters, and the Lexus cars are very sensitive to hub-centricity) and I'm a self-admitted wheel snob. Staggered diameters look weird on cars that weren't meant for it; some of the MR2 guys do it and it looks very odd to me.
