Konig Imagine offset and fit
I have an opportunity to pick up a set
of Konig Imagine wheels as pictured below for my GS4.
Question being, my car is lowered via the Ltune setup, so about 1" lower and I need the wheels to clear the front Supra brake setup I have.
Wheels are
18x8.5
Can be had in 38mm and 45mm.
Im thinking of the following tires sizes
265/35/18 rear
235/40/18 front
Will I have any issues with rubbing of tires or caliper clearance issues.
Thanks in ahead

Cant help you with the clearance issue but I can tell you this:
Don't buy KONIG rims for a gs 400. Those rims are not good quality. Those rims are for Hondas and other ricer cars.
However it does have a nice design. ADR has a rim similar to that, ask enginyr, he used to have them on his car.

I wouldn't put on a set of Konigs on my car even if I get them for free............ SERIOUSLY.
I would sell them for 50% the MSRP to get rid of them fast and buy some other wheels in the future.
Not trying to put you down, just telling you what's good for you taht's all. Some members had bad experiences with knock-off wheel companies, and don't let yourself be the next victim.

I own Imagine's
I am a Konig imagine owner and I agree with the previous posts. They have a real nice design, but just don't do anything for a Lex.
If you insist. Don't get the 38 offset in the front or your call will be all over the road. DANGEROUS. The wrong offset creates a "torque steer" effect and basically eats your tires. (I just blew $1k on Bridgestone SO3's that lasted about 60 days.)
Take it from an owner.....DON"T DO IT!
btw, the Volk III has the same look and is not incredibly expensive. Take a Look!

Konigs suck.
Volk III is the way to go if you want that style...also, the REAL wheel is the Rexaz II...and there are MANY other good looking, GOOD QUALITY mesh wheels out there...

I'm not a Konig fan, either, but if you insist on getting these, don't bother staggering the tire widths unless you stagger the wheel widths- 265/35 is way too wide for an 8.5" wheel.
Also, the 'correct' plus one for the GS is 245/40zr18 front and 275/35zr18 rear.
Use the +38 offset: +45 will look really "sucked in."
