New to the forum and have a quick question that I couldn't seem to find in other threads. I just got a 2014 GS 350 F Sport RWD and am in the market for wheels and was wondering if this fitment would work (just got Tanabe springs so the car will be lowered):
Thanks for the feedback. Duke, pardon my ignorance but what do you mean by "poke"?
For me, Poke is when the lip of wheel extends past the vehicle's body when viewed from above. When i measured for my set, 9" et32 was closer to being flush w/the body w/maybe 1-2mm poke. However 10" et45 was slightly tucked by about 3-5mm, something you may not even notice but I did. I want my wheels to have the same amount of poke. Worst case more rear poke but not more front. An et40 might be a better balanced fitment for a 10" wheel. Otherwise go 10.5" et45 to fill in the 3-5mm difference.

Thanks Duke. I will prob pass on this setup as I prefer a look where the wheels are more flush with the body. Any idea on what offsets will be ideal for that?

Going off my measurements, and what i've seen here, flush fitments are appx:
Front= 9" et37 or 9.5" et32
Rear= 10" et40 or 10.5" et45
These fitments should be flush give or take a few millimeters. How much do you plan on lowering your car?

I am lowering the car with Tanabe springs so nothing too drastic. Just want to make sure that I have no rubbing issues at all.

From my understanding, the rears will be fine. The front if you got with (Front= 9" et37 or 9.5" et32) it might not be correct. I believe if you go with a wider wheel like 9.5" et 32, you will poke out more than if you with 9" et 32. Check with all other wheel manufacture, Most will recommend front 9" et 32-37 and rear 10.5" et 45.
Best combo Is 9" et 32 or 30 and 10.5" et 45. My personal preference.

20x9 +32 on 245/35/20
20x10 +45 on 275/30/20
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Those are two of the standard Vossen fitments that other companies have followed for the GS.

Good catch! I flipped the front offset numbers. I agree 9" et32 abd 10.5" et45 is a good fitment.
