Hi fellow lexus owners. I have a GS300 so I'm not familar with offsets for the IS300. I have a set of Volks TE-37 17x7.5 with +40 offset from a previous car i use to own. Tires are 215/40/17.

I've had a couple local people ask me if this will fit the IS300. Does anyone have any experience or know if this will fit? Any rubbing issues? Thanks all. Any help is appreciated.

Yes, that will fit. That just bring the rims out about 16mm ...should be no problem.

besides the tire size being a little too small, it's all good

Thanks guys. Just out of curiousity, what is the offset and size of the stock 17 rim and tires? Thanks.

Carbon~IS

17x7 with 215/45/17 tires.
Offset: +50

sorry to thread jack, but i didnt want to make a new one.

will 18x8 +45 with 235/40/18 all around work? or should i go for a higher offset like maybe 47 or so. this will also be with a 1" drop. the goal is to be able to rotate the tires. thats why i dropped the stagger idea until i go boost.

IS300_white

That should be fine all around. It's not necessary to go to a 47mm offset.

Carbon~IS

That should work.

thanks!
thanks also! iv read the first thread a couple times but i didnt catch anyone running a 235 all around. alot of people ran 225 all around or 225 front and 245 rear. but i will trust your input on this. thanks again

235 is too wide for the front, I would stick with a 225.

JCE102JZGE

i prefer a same setup all around. from what some people have told me 235 will work in the front aside from rubbing on U-turns which doesnt bother me much. we'll just have to see wont we?

you can always roll your front fenders......

would 225/45/18 work all around? also, what would be the recommended width & offset? thx for any help.

miss_IS300

Well I guess it depends on how much you are lowered. I prefer to have no wheel gap all the way around and when I had 235's on the front, I couldn't turn the wheel or it would hit the fender. I had to downsize to 225's.

my car will only be dropped an inch. No wheel gap? wow did you do any fender mods? how about some pictures... id like to see what it looks like.
