Hello,
I need a quick answer...does the IS 350 OEM Rim fit on the IS 250 AWD? I know the IS 350 rim is: 18x8 (Front) and 18x8.5 (rear), 5x114.3 bolt pattern, offset ET45 (front) and ET50 (rear). So will they fit on 250 AWD?

Thanx!

no, you can't have a staggered setup on AWD.

DAMN...was hoping a yes. lol thx

Why not? The Carrera 4 and others have staggered wheels/tires.

DaEvilG

hmm...a possibility? can sum1 clarify this?

I was told they won't fit by others on this forum...its one reason why I didn't get the AWD.

Yes. However the outer diameter of the tires need to be the same. IE you should get 225/40/18 front and 245/35/18 in the rear. This is probably what the carrera +4 does.

OR you should get the front wheels 18x8 all the way around and get 225/40/18s all the way around. The Mazda RX-8s have some nice 18x8s, you could try those

Carrera 4's are 235/40 ZR 18 front, 295/35 ZR 18 rear. That's about 2 1/4" circumference difference between front and back. The IS 18's are about 3" difference between front and back.

but the Spyder and Tourmaline 18" wheels of the GS300 will work. This would have the same rim/tire at all corners. One of our service reps did this and it looks distinctive. I don't think that there is that large of circumference difference between the front/back 18's on the IS350.
