Default Alloy Wheels

Is there a difference between getting 7 vs 7.5 alloy wheels for a 2007 Lexus GS 350?

They offer the two types for RWD GS which come in a staggered setup with the 7s up front and the 7.5s out back.

There is nothing stopping you from putting either size all around. I have 8.5s all around on my AWD.

actually for the gs, there are no factory staggered setup. it's either the 17x7.5 or the 18x8 all around (at least for us spec).

the only staggered setup for the gs is if you go fsport, which is 8 front and 9 rear

for OP, i don't see why you would even want to consider 7" wide wheels, it's so narrow. even the factor 18s they are 8" wide already

They would be good if he's planning on using the wheels for all seasons, through all seasons in NJ. 7 inch all season will cut through snow nicely.
