The wheels are 18" in diameter by 9" wide. They are 5 lug pattern with bolt circle of 114.3mm (or 4.5"). These wheels have 10 holes but both sets of holes are the same bolt pattern. The have a postive offset of 44mm (+44 offset)(6.25 backspace). Could those fit on 2001 Lexus GS430 without any kind of spacer and modification? Thank you.

You should have no problem to fit those wheels to you GS430. It'll look nice on your car just like Mariusz's.

But I thought Lexus GS430 has offset +45 but Volk AV3 is +44. Does Mariusz have the same set of Volk?

+44 offset in the front for AV3 should also clear the big brake calipers. I have RH C5 which is streight spoke design with +44 offset. It almost clears the Supra TT caliper, with the curved spokes design on AV3, it should be no problem.

Thanks for the respond, Jacob.

What is the biggest width I could put in GS without having tires to hit the inner wall? And for 18x9, what size of tire should I be looking for?

You can have 245 front and 285 rear without any rubbing problem. If you have 18x9 all around, you can try 245/40/18 for all 4 corners.

try America Tire Co. They match prices, even tirerack ones. Even if it's not cheaper, it's better to buy tires at a store (they offer free mount on all tire purchases) than online.

Do you live in Cerritos too?
