Lexus wheels

by **yotapainter** » Wed Oct 15, 2008 1:15 pm

I am thinking about the IS 350 wheels, but the rears are offset because it's RWD....Can I still fit them. I have no plans to lower. I really like the 08 graphites, cool look at toyota quality. Let me if any one has done this.

Thanks in advance for your help.

18x8 in front with an +45 offset
18x8.5 in rear with an +50 offset

I really think they will fit...I guess my question is has anyone done this and did they experience any issues ?

Yea the G35 wheels did rub when Pxlpainter first put them on, I remembered he had to do something to make it fit.

Toy1mzfe's ride:

To my knowledge, he had to trim/pull the rear fender to make them fit, but he should chime in on this.

I also have the same rims, but I bought all fronts to avoid fitment issues.

i would think you want the oem 18's, not the oem 17's that come on the AWD IS. i have a set of the regular 18's with tires for sale if you are interested.

you should be able to run the staggered set up with a spacer.

I would do the 18x8.5 all around with a 15-20 mm spacer and some 225/40/18 or 235/40/18 depending on the drop.... Cut the rear inner fender lip... and some slight negative camber with some toe in.... lol

Rock them spacers in the rear!!!!! u need them. Friggin +50 is no joke.haha

18x8 +45
18x8.5 +50

i think U can get away with the fronts.

but the not the rears.

I am also riding with the staggered offset but all four with same tire size.

^^ Exactly what Milt says!!! HE should know about this sh!t more than anyone here!!

And yes, I have G35 rims 18x8 30 offset, and I trimmed my rear fenders and got a camber kit for the rears.

^^^^ if its like that.

do 18x8.5s all around and use 20mm spacers so it becomes +30

and trim ur rears.

be careful with the offset! im running a 35 and it rubs all the time. but im also running trd springs.. gonna get it rolled soon! good luck

What would you suggest if the front is rubbing when I turn? And the answer "Don't turn so tight" has already been said.
