I have the following wheels on my SC430 and nothing rubs, no contact with callipers, guards or dampers. They do not negatively affect the ride quality in my opinion. Not sure if this adds to the conversation but just sayin' .............
2016 Lexus RCF Rims
Front: 19 x 8" +45 offset Potenza 235/40/19
Rear: 19 x 9" +65 offset Potenza 265/35/19 (the wider rears look cool from behind and puts a bit more rubber on the road to make use of all that torque)
Love the look! is that +65 additional spacers or standard in alloy offset?

The offset is standard on Lexus RCF, the donor vehicle, and is built into the rim. They still sit inside the guard with no rubbing. I will post a couple of pics showing the wheel position
It looks great! I would not follow the direction of others that say to rotate and put the wider rims on the front, thats not where they are supposed to go; they need to stay on the back. If the tires are not directional you can do side to side but not front to back.
You may get a LITTLE less life out of the tires but that is the price you pay for a staggered setup.

I have the same wheels. I like them a lot. Just to clarify, these are RC350F sport wheels, not RCF. RCF comes with wider BBS 19x9/19x10 wheels with different offset (believe 50 in the back).

OP - I really like the look of your wheels.
they look great. How much were they and where did you get them from?
also can you post a picture further from the back to see how they look in the whealarches with that offset!

tires are the same size, the wheels have half an inch diference, no issues, i've done it so im talking with experience.
If the tires were a lot wider, taller or lower than front including the wheels being a lot wider, in other words an aggressve staggered set-up, then I would not do it or recommend it. You are right, that's the price you pay for a staggered setup. I will be putting 8.5 x 20offset at front and 9.5 x 25 offset on the rear, I wont be rotating tires.
I have searched high and low and maybe missed a post but I cannot find anything on the possibility of putting the IS 250/350, 10 spoke wheel on a 2006 sc430. The specs for the standard 430 wheel and the IS are the same, but I am wondering if there may be a brake issue. I am wanting to put the IS 18/8 on the front and back of the sc430 using the current 245/40r/18 tires. . If that does not work are there other lexus oem wheels that will fit the sc430. Thanks for your help

the IS350 wheels are on my 2007 SC430. No issues. Perfect fit.
5 spoke or 10 spoke, should make difference.

I had them on my 02 sc430.
I looked them up and they came on the 06-13 IS250 & 350.
I have them in the for sale section, look me up.

I am thinking of replacing with these wheels for smoother ride, is from GS300 (I think!) 17"x8" but the offset is 50. I may need a 1/2" spacer.....any opinions?
That only moves you in less than a quarter inch. 13/64ths to be exact. If you have space now to slide a finger between the wheel and the shocks. I don't see a problem with A plus 50 fitting. The only need I see for a spacer, is if you want it for the aesthetic purpose.
