Default OEM Lexus wheel question
Will it be possible to upgrade my current 17" OEM wheels to either 18" or 19" OEM Lexus wheels from other models??(aside from the obvious 5 spoke 18" GS wheels)...This is my daily driver and i dont want to deviate much from the OEM look, and ride quality...Pics please...Thanks!

yes you can, with a few limitations

1) wheels from ls460 and ls600hl won't fit on the car, different bolt pattern
2) you need to get wheels that will clear the brakes in the front. for recent models, the is-f wheels will NOT fit over the front brakes

yes you can.
I put on 18" G-Spyders in the spring, summer and fall. I use the 17" stock OEM rims for dedicated snow tires now.

here is a lexus website that has a wide variety of OEM wheels for the GS.

Has anyone tried putting on the IS250/350 18" Stagerred wheels on a 3GS?
Will that fit without issues, even when the car is lowered? Any pics?

Do you mean that all 3GS aren't compatible with IS-F wheels or just the 08~ GS460?

the is-f oem wheels have the same bolt patterns as the 3gs, but the spokes won't clear the calipers on any of the gs350/430/450h/460
