Default IS-F wheels on the GS?

hey guys new to the forum...been an Acura TL owner and been on Acurazine for a while now. Going to purchase a 07 350...not sure yet if I should go AWD or not...Live in Philadelphia so winters not really bad.
anyway

did a search...couldn't find anything
Anyone put the IS-F 19s on the GS?... 19x9 with 45 offset I think.
thanks

I believe they will not clear the GS350 brakes. I like them too, but better wheels can be had for that price point.

correct, isf wheels won't clear the caliper. 3gs stock brakes have a "thicker" caliper profile

Well i am a former member of TSXclub.com Owned a tsx and got me a gs350 awd everything expect Mark Levi. I would suggest getting a AWD coming from a TL front wheel drive its a whole new world. About 19 i wouldnt suggest it. lexus is suppose to be a nice comfortable ride. Putting 19 will take most of it away.

Actually the last gen TL is pretty much as long/wide as our GS (past that the 1st and 2nd gen TLs are longer than our GS). The new TL is almost 5 inches longer and its 2 inches wider. The Tl has always been a big car for its price and its one of its appeals (like the G35 and CTS and ES)
