Default Lessons Learned From Purchasing preowned 🤦🏽‍♂️

I purchased a 2008 gs350 rwd from a private owner august 29th 2020 for 6k with 110k miles
I loved that car dearly every this was fine i kept it rigorously maintenanced at the dealership…one day I came out to leave to work and it gave me a hard start once it gave me hard start I looked at the battery a Panasonic battery once replacing the battery my car went haywire stalling any and everywhere I went I went through the dealership they gave me all kinds of underlined problems that had nothing to do with my problem so eventually after getting the run around for about a year I gained confidence to finally just trade it in…they gave me a 2010 es350 base version yea I feel I went out backwards but at the end of the day so far so good with the new car

2008 GS460, stock suspension. OEM Enkei 19"s from the 2008 LS600hL. Redrilled to 5x114mm. German Goodyear Eagle Sports, 245/40R19, inflated with nitrogen. Square but considering putting 255 on the rears in the future. Slight rubbing on drivers side when turning full left otherwise rides amazing.

For reference, I upsized the rear tyres to 285/35R19 on 19x10 ET42 Wedssport SA-67R, it fits ok, only rubs on big dips at highway speeds. I think ET45 would be perfect.

For reference, GR Supra forged OEM wheels fit perfectly. You'll need:
1. Centre bore rings of 60.1 -> 66.6mm, can get a machine shop to make or buy online
2. You can use wobble nuts but I got the wheels machined from 5x112 to 5x114.3
3. OEM Centre caps from a Lexus CT200h 42603-76021 note that the standard 62mm Lexus caps WILL NOT FIT. The CT200h is unusual as it uses 56mm centre caps, which fit perfectly.

I'm using 1" diameter oversized tires to deal with the bad roads, very comfortable.
19x9 +32 with 245/40R19
19x10 +40 with 285/35R19
My fenders are fully shaved in the rear, nothing done to the fronts yet, but I'm not low at all, I have my HKS Hipermax set at almost the highest setting.

Default Fitting RX350 wheels on 2009 GS350 AWD

Hello,

I am looking to change out my custom wheels due to multiple cracks. I've been looking for stock GS rims but no luck so far.. However I did come across a set of stock RX350 wheels and P235/60R18 tires. Will these fit a Lexus GS350?

Thank you so much!

A while back I decided to change tire size. When I changed wheels from 18's to 19"s, i went from 245/40/18 to 245/40/19. This increased the overall diameter by about an inch. I put Goodyear Eagle Sports All season Runflats. They were great but had rubbing on turns, so I decided to downsize, from 245/40/19 to 245/35/19 would have exact OEM wheel geometry, but with less tire, so I had to find something very good to avoid losing ride quality. I found a set of brand new Michelin Pilot Super Sports.



Got them for $640 brand new. They are pretty nice, but I am thinking I maybe shouldve went with the Pilot Sport 4s. Regardless, it rides like butter, turns like on rails. And they dont spin like the old ones did. Had an alignment and a balance, but experiencing some vibration when letting off the throttle around 80mph.
