Default Wheel offset

I'm trying to buy a set of 20's off a '03 GS300 with 20x9 +25 offset and 20x10 +23 0ffset. Will these fit on my '06 GS430? Thank you for your help.

Thanks for answering his questions. Here are the details of the tires/rims.

tires are: Nitto NT555

225/35/20 fronts on 20x9 +25 offset

255/35/20 rears on 20x10 +23 offset

On my 2GS, the front fenders cleared without any modifications. The rear fenders were shaved. Would the 3GS still have to modify the front fenders to clear? I'm pretty sure you have to shave/roll the rears though. Can any 3GS owners chime in? Thanks

Thanks for the response. Will the his fronts clear my 3GS calipers? I didn't want to drop my car...do you think it will look odd? Thanks in advance.

Roll the fenders and pulled? My main concern is that I don't want the wheels to stick out of the fenders. He didn't pull his fenders, but he had it shaved. Like I said...as long as the wheels stay within the fenders then I'm ok.

you will be able to get away with just a shave. the bumper brackets will need to be grinded down, I also would reccommend a 225/30 and a 245/30. im running a 20x9.5 +17 and 20x10.5 +26 with just a aggressive shave in the rear the fronts how ever were shaved and the leftover edge was hammered over and beaten flat then the fenders cleaned up and resprayed. And word of advice the car is going to look weak with wheels and no drop guaranteed!!

Thanks for the info. That makes me feel better since you have a even more aggressive offset than him. Thank you.
