Toyota Camry Sport Wheels on a GS?
#16
Actually, offsets does matter. Bolt patterns are the same but if the wheels wont clear the brake calipers due to too much difference in offset then it might not fit. I tried putting my Dads Toyota Avalon wheels on my Lexus GS 350 and it does not clear the brakes despite being same bolt pattern. Dont worry guys I tried this for fun. Aint no toyota wheels on my lexi ever .

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.

^^^ Beautiful pics car looks great.
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.
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.

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.

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.

Now those wheels are worth putting on.
