Will 16" wheels fit?
Looking to set my mom up with some winter wheels for her 3GS... just wondering if 16" wheels clear the brakes ? Anyone try this?
Thanks!

Sorry but your answer is kinda pointless being so vague.... most likely yes and most likely no based on what?
Hers is a 2008 AWD

Not sure how that’s vague? 2006 will fit, 2007 and up it will not. 2006 has smaller calipers, unless it’s a Gs430

There are many different wheel offsets and designs that will or will not work. Your question was not specific enough!
What type of wheels? aftermarket, factory?

"most likely" yes, "most likely" no... sorry but I wasn't going to order 16" wheels based on "most likely"
Thanks for clearing up your answer!

Lol....it's a common sense. 16" wheels won't fit any gs350 due to caliper size.
17" will fit but need to add some spacers depends on the wheel offset.

Just to avoid re-paraphrasing you, I'll ask straight out: What is the smallest wheel that will fit a 2006 GS430 ?
