Default Rims

Hello, I'm new to the forum and new to Lexus. I need help with the offset on my 1998 Lexus gs300. I want to go with 18' square set up x 8' wide. What would be the correct offset to bring the wheels as close to flush as possible? Thanks for your help.

to have it flush as possible you'd need to slam it with a 8' wide and 18" inch, thats really small for the GS

What is a good size that won't rub and will still keep a good ride. I don't want to slam it.
Thanks for your help everyone.

On a 8 inch wide rim/tire.. to get an decently flush without going too overboard. You will be happy with offsets between (+30~+35) for 18x8. rim.. I run a slightly wider 8.5 wide (Square setup) and my offset is +40..

What he said with a. 8" rim +30 and with a 8.5" wheel 33+ to 35+ offset would get you flush and if you ever decide to get a brake kit no clearance issues.

I just put g35 rims on my gs that I saw on cl. The only problem was that they were all black. The offsets were just right, but the color didn't do the car any justice. Do u have any pics? Needless to say I passed on the rims.

All the g35 coupe wheels look great on a 2nd gen GS with blank center caps and hubcentric rings to finish off the look. Both can be found by searching forums so do research.
