Default GS350 Awd wheel and suspension options?

Hey guys I just purchased a NGP 2013 AWD GS. I was wanting to lower it and put some rims on it as well.

I've been reading some threads about Rsr and Tanabe. Will the Rwd springs work for the Awd? Also what's the best size and offset for the Awd when it comes to wheels. If the suspension set up is the same as the Rwd then I'm assuming +35 up front and +45 in the back but non staggered.

Any info or links would be great thanks

RS-R makes springs for the AWD, Tanabe does not, but you can still use them on the AWD.

20" is the best size. Anything smaller, just does not look good. If you don't want to go staggered, then its best to go with 9.5 all around. Go with low 30's offset. Since, you're not staggered, I would think the offset should be the same on all 4 corners.

Ok thanks for the info. Are there any other small mods? Also I don't own the F sport. Is that an issue with springs?

No issues. F sport and non F models share the same springs.
