Here's a link to a thread in this sub-forum.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...nt-wheels.html

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.

vadimo, are your wheels staggered or not? How can I find the photos of your car?

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):



INSTEAD OF THIS:

No problem!
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.

Thanks. I come from the VW/Audi scene and have always been a fan of OEM+.
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
- Speed Index: Y - Speed Index: Y
