Hi Anyone, I am planning to move up my wheel size to 18" from current stock of 17" x 7.5" ET45 (I think) for my JDM 2007 GS300 (RWD). Stock tire is 225/50-17.

Below are my current options:

- 18" x 8" ET40-43
- 18" X 8.5" ET45
- 18" X 8.5" ET30-35 range

I do not want to make any mods to fender, etc. Which wheel do you think would look best (as flush with body as possible)? Should I be targetting a lower or higher offset than stock ET45?

What are the pros/cons between 8" and 8.5"?

Also, what tire size would go with each of the above option?

I have tried several online offset calculators but I am still not sure how each of the option looks.

Thanks a bunch!

225/35/19 front and 245/35/19 rear.

Air suspension, Cusco Camber Arms. Shaved fenders front and rear. No pull. Max camber ok with me. Driving height would be 4x4 of course, would it look too ridiculous even at driving 4x4

Should I try to make it fit or choose a less aggressive offset?

Did a quick vid the other day. I was thinking about getting new wheels but after sitting around and commizerating over it, I just really like these and see no reason to change. I'm not a video talent but here it is:

Hey Guys, new to the site. Just bought an 08 GS350 AWD like 2 months ago. It has the 7 spoke 17's on it, and i hate them. I wanna get the 5 spoke 18 factory GS wheels instead. The ones that are one the 2011's I think. If anyone knows someone getting ride of a set I am very interested thanks for the help and nice to meet everyone!

Go stiffer settings, or if you could get a higher spring rate. Maybe something like 14k or 12k

Thanks guys, I'm on BC racing coilovers. I cranked the dampening up to 25 clicks in the front, 20 in the rear. Rides perfect now, now if i can only go a little lower in the rear

What tires do you guys suggest to get so i wouldn't have to roll or cut fenders... The rims i have are 20x8.5 with 24 offset in the front and 20x10 with a 40 offset in the rear.... Any help would be appreciated before i purchase tires, plus i have df10 drop.

so im currently on

19x9.5F 225/35/19
19x11R 245/35/19

I decided to go with the VIP look and ran stretched tires = absolute terrible ride quality, wheel bangs on every tiny crack on the road so im deciding to switch out my tires and avoid stretching. what size tires do you recommend?

Newb here. I recently picked up a 2006 GS300 RWD. I'm pretty sure it's already on lowering springs when I bought it.

Sorry if this question has already been asked but I've browsed the crap out of this thread... what is the biggest wheel size you can go with out having to roll you fenders or experience rubbing when taking turns etc.

Based on what i've read thus far is it safe to say that I should go with 19's
19x9 front
19x10 rear

(I'm not trying to go VIP style, I just want that clean stock look, with custom wheels) I'm a realtor so I can't try to bling too much. I was thinking about going with LM reps or something along those lines. Also I may have a full load of client's in the car with me so I can't be rubbing while driving client's around town. LOL

Any help would be appreciated.
