Aint no toyota wheels on my lexi ever .
that’s why I played it safe and went with gsf rims. Didn’t really notice how large our front brakes are until I changed them out and saw how tiny the back is lol. Tempted to paint my front a usb color but only wish I had rear calipers to paint too

Face design is key to clearing calipers not offset. For example, OEM Supra TT wheels are 17x8.5 +50 and clear TT calipers because face is slightly convex. There are aftermarket wheels with lower offsets that don't clear TT calipers because of their face design.

Different offsets impacts the look, the wheels could be more "tucked in" or stick out more(which could be desirable). More importantly, it also impacts suspension geometry and could affect handling.

I don't know what the 19" stock wheel offsets are for Camry, but you can't just assume same bolt pattern alone mean the wheel fits.

I agree it will impact the look but face design will determine caliper clearance not offset or even width but 5x114.3 is 5x114.3.

You guys are both saying the same thing. You can't just assume they'll fit because of bolt pattern. Yes they'll bolt up, but that's no good if they don't turn because they don't clear the caliper. Some face design issues CAN be solved with spacers depending on where the clearance issue is, but that is not a great option IMO vs. getting the right wheels.

I agree with going out and getting a proper set of wheels but I have seen Toyota wheels on Lexus before. Offset has nothing to do with caliper clearance and same bolt pattern will fit assuming face clears calipers.

Nobody here has questioned or even brought up bolt pattern. That was never the problem.

We have all just been saying that Camry wheels are likely to have different offsets which makes them incompatible, whether its looks, clearance, handling. They may fit, but not ideal. I also don't even think Camry runs the same wheel widths as the GS which also affects the offset numbers.

Saying rims fit because the bolt pattern fits is like a fat chick trying to squeeze into skinny jeans. Just because it zips doesn't mean it fits.

Weird I've seen Toyo 4 Runner wheels on Lexus GS Trucks, Camry wheels on ES and GS, Venza wheels on RX and even some GS models....wonder how they fit

Quick Google search shows that 2018 Camry Sport wheels posted by OP are 19x 8" width +50mm. OP's GS350 came stock with 18 X 8 but offset is lower.

Will those Camry wheels fit yes but will sit in more due to lower offset of OEM wheels. Spacer could fix that but I would personally go with aftermarket options instead of Camry wheels with spacers.

I'm almost positive wheels that stick out of the fender are illegal in most states, but I have nothing to prove that statement.

So did OP fit the Camry shoes on a GS or not? I need a submission to America's Funniest Video.

Did you know that Hyundai has the same bolt pattern as the GS? 5x114.3, they'll fit perfectly.

Now those wheels are worth putting on.
