Default Newer Model Wheels Fit 3GS?

I'm new here, but a longtime 2007 GS350 owner. I have the original chrome 18" wheels on the car, but I'm interested in replacing them with newer 19" wheels. The ad doesn't have much info, so I'm not sure on the exact size/offset of the wheels, and was hoping someone could get them identified and tell me if they'll fit my bone stock car. I appreciate the help.

I've seen several people put 4SG wheels on their 3GS. Should be the same bolt pattern.

Yeah, the bolt pattern should be the same. I'm just concerned about the overall diameter difference and the wheel offset difference.

Looks like a wheel of an 4th gen f-sport, regardless they'll fit your car.

Looks like the RX350 F-Sport wheels, so they'll be slightly skinnier. Your best bet is to try and mount them on before paying the guy, but IIRC they do fit.

currently have those exact same wheels F-sport 19s on my 2008 gs350. i believe the fronts are 19x8.5 on 235/40/19 and the rears are 19x9.5 265/35/19. fit perfectly fine. my car is lowered and there isnt any issue. can upload some pics if you want to see how it looks exactly on the car

I was hoping to find a non staggered setup so I could still rotate the tires, but maybe I'll just go with the staggered setup. Thanks for the info. Would love to see a pic if it isn't too much trouble, but no worries if you don't have time.

I have the same set up also. Question, do you have bolt on spacers and if so what size millimeter?

Most are staggered, but there are square setups out there. If you super slammed, you gunna need to shave the rear fender liners (had a 20 or 25mm spacer on the rear), roll the fronts, and will probably still have your fender liners rip out (Happened to me a few times).

Thank you, mine is staggered with a small drop (Fsport spring) I will try 25mm rear 20mm frnt.

Nice setup, I was going to go with those on mine but opted for a different combo. But I think those tire sizes are a little larger in rolling diameter than the stock size. How does it ride with the larger diameter?

BC 'slightly' lowered with 19" fsport and rear spacer
OEM with 4gs 19 f-sport


Pretty sure I had a 20mm spacer in the rear, but wanted a 25mm in the rear. Around 2.5 camber all around. I did run a stretched tire in the front. Good luck with a 20mm spacer in the front, I think you will hit the fender liner. With my setup, I had a few spots rub away on the fronts. F-sports are STRONG rim.. (Let me know if you want to see some gs/f-sport carnage)
