Honestly
1) they're 18' the wheels will look real small on the car.
2) I personally am not a fan of those wheels I think you can do better than that, fine better looking wheels.....

Just my 2 cents, But in the end it's your money and your decision.

If you really want 18's then find some 18 inch G35 7 spokes.

Man, don't do it...You could get some 20 inch Sevas S22 wheels and tires for like 1400. The good thing, is the seller is a CL member, and he's local to you in GA. So in essence you both win. The seller: TriniGS sells his wheels, you get your wheels...both provide seller and buyer feedback, ultimately keeping the Club Lexus family lasting, lol. I know, that's some deep thoughts huh? Check out the wheels before you do the 18s.

Wheel sizes 20X8.5 (f) 20X10 (r) 40 offset

Good luck fam! Steve

Dude why would you pay that much for 18 inch wheels? LOL SLAP yourself, your better off putting tires on your stock rims. Motegi are ugly. It's going to be one of those rims you buy now and a month later you slap yourself, asking why you even bought them? Your friends are going to secretly give you props but make fun of you for buying those wheels behind your back, I'm not even joking when i say that lol.


Save your money, get BETTER looking wheels, maybe even step it up an inch or two (19 or 20's). Your going to have too much space under your fender even with big tires on those wheels.


Just my 2 cents GOD BLESS AMERICA and CLUB LEXUS LOL
