Lexus didn't leave much room underneath, guys. As I've posted time and time again, the only way to do it right is to go custom from a high quality motorsport wheel vendor. I can vouch for 20x9 ET33, 20x10.5 ET38 on a lowered car fitted with 255, 295 Michelin Pilot Super Sports. The rear is razor thin tight to wheel well which is always the look I want. Even going with same 295 PSS rears, I rub if I try to shove non-Mercedes OEM version of same size PSS tire. YMMV depending on Lexus manufacturing variance car-to-car.

Need fitment help
If any of you guys want the specs for a properly fitting wheel/tire package for the RCF, let me know. A properly fitting wheel/tire package shouldn't rub at all lowered or not. The package should also allow you to run as wide or wider tires as well. A lot of the specs I'm seeing here are done up by "instagram" wheel companies who aren't custom; rather, one-size-fits-all approach with non-motorsport backgrounds. It's a cheaper route, but you get what you pay for. It also looks like the RCF audience isn't as well versed as the more seasoned M and 911 community. I'm a big Lexus F line-up fan as a former ISF and current RCF owner. Here to help.
Im looking at two different sets and am not sure if either will fit.
this one is 20x8.5+40 & 20x9.5+32
Or i could get this one that is 20x8.5+35 &20x10+38
Which one one fit properly?

its a long situation and dispute i had with this company and they're offering me another set. I wanted the same 5 spoke look but in 20s that's the only size that they had if that wheel.

Why do you think the wheels won't work? With a smaller width and deeper offset I would imagine it'd be okay.

ALSO, this set is just for show and daily wheels. I wanted something easier to clean. Im keeping the stock forged ones cause they're lighter and will be better for track use.

Hello CL~
I just traded my gs 350 to RC F. I had vossen 20x9 + 40 ish and 20x10.5 + 45 offset on my GS 350.
I wanted to put my old wheel on to RC F but seems like it will be too weak offset for RC F.
I researched and read a lot and seems like best offset is 20x9 + 30 ish for front and 20x10.5 + 30 wish for rear.
That means if I put old Vossens, it will sink in a little. Swift Spring is on the way too so it will dropped as well.
I am guessing my best route is to sell old Vossens and pick up new wheels for RC F. I can not find any used
set that I want for RC F so that means I have to order it new and wheels are not cheap
.
Do you guys think my old Vossen will look too weak on RC F?
Thanks for looking!
