Default OEM Lexus wheels from other models

Hi, can someone suggest a non GS OEM Lexus wheels for my 14 base GS rwd?

I saw some nice wheels from IS RX and LS, but not sure if they will fit properly. I'm not an expert on wheel offsets, so just wondering if someone can share some pix if you are using a set of wheels from other models.

Below are some stock wheels I'm interested in as an example, they are from is, LS and RX. Thanks in advance!

The bolt pattern is different on the LS, so none of those wheels will fit.

I put 2019 ES Lux wheels on my GS, powdercoated gloss black.

I needed 5mm spacers on the front to clear the brake calipers. So make sure you test fit prior to going to the tire ship.

I used H&R spacers with extended studs.

The offset in the front is 15mm lower and the rear is 10mm lower that stock, so they stick out more, but now close to flush with the fenders. So the fitment is better than stock.

Thanks for the info! Too bad the new LS comes with many nice wheels.
Is there any downside with spacers? Also I heard these new es wheels are quieter, any truth to that? Looks great btw.

No downside if you run them with extended studs, installed properly, plus my spacer is very small. I think if you go 10mm+ it might start to affect the way the suspension reacts.
The tire shop knocked out the factory studs and replaced it with the longer studs, only charged me 2 hours labor.

I've put almost 2k miles on the car since getting the rims, 2 road trips, absolutely no issues.

I do like the 19 inch split five spoke wheels that comes with the lux package, but these are hard to come by used. I want to expand my options by looking at other models' wheels. My car is not lowered, so I want to stick with oem wheels. Thanks for this picture, very helpful!

With the exception of staggered RWD setups, most of the current gen RC/IS/ES wheels are interchangeable.

I'm running RC350 F-sport wheels.

I have two sets, one 18x8.5 all around, and one with 18x8.0 all around. Both at some point had either a 235/45/18 tires, or 245/40/18 tires. Both set fit perfectly fine. These wheels have the same specs as OEM ISP wheels and OEM Tourmaline wheels. Not sure if you need this information, but may be useful information for people in the future.
