Default offset on 07 gs350 AWD

I first thank you for everyone in this forum for all the information that I have read and used, especially on lowering the car. I finally orderd and got the NF210 for my 07 AWD and will have them installed this Saturday. After that, I am thinking about getting 18" wheels but I that I found has 32mm offset. Is 32mm too agressive for AWD?

Thanks in advance for your help..

No, it should be fine, as long as you deck it.

Thank you. To be little bit more specific, I have attached the pic of the wheel that I like. I think this is for LS460, however I found the one with rith bolt diameter of 5x114 on ebay from a seller called Victoria tires. I really like the way they look if this will fit. Thanks again.

Be sure to re-install the height level sensor arm in the right position. My mechanic made this mistake, but luckily I noticed it before he even finished.

Are they aftermarket look alike's or genuine LS460 rims that have been redrilled with sleeves to suit 114.3?

yeah be very careful how they "made" the wheels 114.3. redrill is never an option for me, and if they are not redrilled, then that means they are replica and i can't be sure about the quality

Thanks again for your feedback. It seems as these rims are not a good bet either way unless they are originally made for the some other model. I just love the way they look on LS. Any of you remember that Toyota/Lexus has ever made these wheels for other models? I will contact the seller and ask the same questions today.

Thanks on the tip on height level sensor, I will make sure my mechanic does not make the same mistake with height level sensor, in fact I will just print out and bring the thread with me.

Good day!!

The seller said that it was on LS but custom made later to fit other models. Hmmmmm, I need to think about this. Are the redrilled rims that bad??
