that's even worse... the more lower the number the more the wheels stick out

joeker, i'm gonna assume you are picking up an '08 GS 350. i've done the homework for you, all these 20" wheel packages will fit with no rubbing whatsover.

http://www.wheelsmaster.com/rt_packa...carModel=GS350

you can select 19" size if 20" is not the size you want:

http://www.wheelsmaster.com/rt_packa...earch&sized=19

whether you choose 19" or 20" wheel package, go with the recommended tire size and wheel offset.

if none of the wheels shown float your boat, make sure you choose your wheel package that has similar offset and tire size as shown in the above examples.

good luck!

depends on lowering and the tires used, 20s can run regardless of offsets. 20s with overspec tires are 1" larger, and if lower by certain amount, it will rub the top of the fender lining
