1997–2005 · saloon
The second-generation GS, sold in Japan as the Toyota Aristo, came on 16 or 17-inch wheels with a high ET50 offset that leaves the wheels sitting well inside the arches. Owners chasing the VIP look usually move to staggered 19 or 20-inch wheels with offsets in the mid-30s to low-40s, and wider fitments than that tend to need rolled or shaved arches.

Starting points for a build. Read the notes with each setup, especially if your car is lowered or has different brakes.
The ClubLexus 2GS wheel fitment guide lists 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 at ET38 as a no-fender-work setup, and its author ran Volk AV3s in these sizes without rubbing. The tyre sizes are the ones the guide pairs with these widths.
Owners in a ClubLexus GS300 thread report 20x8.5 ET35 front and 20x10 ET43 rear on 245/30 and 275/30 tyres fitting without modifications, one of them lowered on Tein coilovers.
A ClubLexus GS400 owner runs staggered 19-inch Rays wheels from a G35, 19x8 ET30 front and 19x8.5 ET33 rear, and describes the fit as close to flush. Tyre sizes were not given.
Check the exact setup
There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.
Measure before ordering
A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.
These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.
Upload a photo and start with a look that suits the GS / Toyota Aristo. Try the wheels, colour and stance before you spend on parts.
