F-sport wheels/tires
Can someone please tell me if they have a 2006-2011 GS with the new style 19" F-sport wheels on their car? I would truly appreicate a photo of the car and know if they fit perfect without any spacers. thanks,

You might be able to find some answers there. At least there are photos. Looks good!

Yes, I had them installed yesterday. I think it looks excellent. Please let me know if you have any questions.
They fit perfect. But I think I might get some spacers for the rear. You can look at the pictures and see the position.

You should do spacers to get it 'proper', IMHO.
I have the IS-F wheels on my GS. Front diameter, width, and offset are the same as mine, however only the diameter and width are the same on the rear. The F-Sport wheels have a 60 offset, rather than the IS-F's 55.
Here is my suggestion:
call up the Adaptec Speedware guys and order these...
Front: 15mm bolt-on spacer
Rear: 25mm bolt-on spacer
The size/offset will end up looking like this (and yes I'm on stock suspension):

I'll tell you that I'm 100% satisfied with them. No vibrations, perfect fit.
Pretty sure they were about $65 per spacer.
Also...I STRONGLY recommend a nice 1/2 inch torque wrench when you get them.

Your car looks awesome, just like it should have come from the factory in the first place, Right? I really do appreciate your help. I just bought a 2008 GS460 but I hate the wheels.

Pretty much any of the F-Sport or IS-F wheels look great on the GS.
Here is one more angle that might help show how the spacers push the wheels out just right.

We are a lot alike then. I just sold my S4. I need something a little more comfortable for my daily driver. You cannot beat Lexus reliability. I love the GS460 nice power and comfort but now I will make it look right

Thanks for posting that. I definitely will need some spacers as well. Looks amazing! I googled Adaptec Speedware but couldn't find those sizes. Any specific place to buy?
I like how the ISF wheels have less of a chrome look compared to my GSF. Is the ISF finish better or is it just my photos?
Anywho, beautiful ride. I love sticking with OEM as well. Your ride was one of my deciding factors in going with F Sport wheels. (Side question, did your trunk deck lip come with the car or did you install it? I've been wanting one.)
Here's my ride:
Front Tires: Rear Tires:
- Size: 235/40-19 - Size: 265/35-19
- Brand: Bridgestone Potenza - Brand: Bridgestone Potenza
- Model: RE050A - Model: RE050A
- Load Index: 96 - Load Index: 94
