Default Looking to buy GS F Sport Wheels

I want to get off the Staggered setup on my RWD 2013 GS 350 F Sport. Looking to buy two F Sport Wheels to match my front wheels. This will enable me to rotate the tires, therefore making the tires last longer. Is this a good idea? Where can I purchase OEM GS F Sport wheels? Can anyone help? Thanks!

Check out the "Wheels and Tires Classifieds" section here on the Forum. I see sets come up often.

You'll screw up the odometer reading if you don't run a staggered tire setup on a RWD

Nope, this is incorrect.
All 4 wheels are the same diameter, as long as you keep them all the same size, there will be no problems.

I've purchased 4 wheels (same width) for a staggered setup before, no issues, only cash savings when buying/rotating tires.

Nothing wrong with saving money once in a while.

I stand corrected. Which tire sizes do you run all the way around?

Buy more wheels + rotate tires= save money??

Install smaller tires on rear= reduce cornering potential.

Uh yeah, save money. Rotating all 4 tires, extends the tread life = saving money. You can't do that with a staggered setup.

He didn't mention cornering potential as a concern, just the idea of purchasing 4 wheels of the same size.

Only if you can't get the tires to wear evenly which indicates a problem elsewhere. Mine are wearing very evenly across the entire tread surface.

I think what he meant here is that the money you will spend on wheels and tires to match your fronts will negate any potential savings encountered by extended tread life from rotating your tires? I could be wrong....

Perhaps his rear wheels/tires will be sold after getting new rear wheels/tires, essentially reducing the cost of purchasing new rear wheels/tires, and hopefully saving money in the long run. Not sure it's the move I'd make, but I get it.
