Default Question: G-Spider wheel replacement

Probably next spring project but you never know
I want to upgrade to OEM chrome spider wheels but concern about the offset not sure if I want to add spacers
​​​​​​https://www.lawheel.com/lexus-g-spider-oem-18-set-of-4-chrome-wheels-74226-2.html
I did see a 07 PB with a set of aftermarket chrome wheels posted that look very similar to the spiders been searching for a few days can't seem to find it again. Any help?
Thanks

Are you committed to chrome or will polished metallic work. I run TSW nurburgring which is a mesh wheel, OEM size, slightly more aggressive offset but not a ton. Polished metallic on matte gunmetal.

thanks for the help
Yes definitely chrome and decided on the Vogue tyres.
Probably in the spring there's enough things on the car that will keep me busy
until then.

Maybe I can help with your decision. I just purchased a 2003 and ordered a staggered set of G Spiders. 18x8 fronts w/ 45mm offset and 18x8.5 rears w 50mm offset. Why staggered?, no idea but can't wait to get some rubber on them. Haven't decided what tires yet.

the offset on the stock 430sc is 43mm I don't think you should use a 50mm on the 430sc
you want rims to move out not in

guys center hole is 60mm if you buy rims that are 73mm hole you must buy rings to make up the difference
just don't buy anything know what your buying and doing with out the rings on 73mm if you try to drive you will brake studs but you may not install the rims
