Default Dumb wheel question

Will the 18" wheels off a 2014 IS250 Sport fit on the GS430. I found one source that says they're a 50mm offset. Help?

Hmmmm the offset 50mm might not fit for the front. Gs430 calipers are bugger than IS250.

U probably need to add 5mm spacers to make the offset 45mm just how OEM gs430 wheels are.

nope. Not at all. I've added 15mm spacers to clear my 06 gs430 brake as well.

Since we're discussing offsets, I might as well throw my question up as well.
I just purchased some 18 inch remanufactured OEM wheels for my GS 300 AWD
on Ebay. My car currently wears the OEM 17 inch wheels. Need I be concerned about
proper fitment? Will spacers be required?

If they're the OEM style 18's that came on the 430, they're most likely fine. test fit the front wheel, and spin it. If it clears, then you're ok.

It will clear easily. Gs300 caliper is small.
