not sure about the brake, but isn't that the offset way too low for the GS?

The wheels are going to sit inside the wheel well. It depends on the look you want. I think the seller of those wheels had pictures of them on an SC. The GS has similar offsets. A +44 will work if you dont mind not having too much lip.

I agree with D....these wheel offsets match perfectly for an IS300.

If you got them for your GS....it will sit inside the wheel well for sure.

As for rubbing....its hard to tell if it'll rub against your calipers without seeing the wheel spoke design. With this offset, you should also be concern that it'll rub the control arm.
