I just bought a Is250 AWD today. I like the awd action but i like the Is350 rims better. Is there a risk if i put them on it. I wish i could throw my rims from my Gs400 on it!!!

 

I think it'll stick out a bit in the rears...

 

I think you can get two sets of fronts, and put them on. This way they will be the same size all the way around. Not sure where you will get that. Maybe E-bay?

 

wont throw off something? thought u heard that somewhere.

 

That is a good idea!

However, it might be cheaper to get aftermarket wheels and better tires...

 

I agree. I ordered the G Spyders from Sewel. They had 4 18: x 8's 35mm offset. I think it is like $980. They also sell each rim seperaty. If they caried the stock 18" wheels the same way I would have gotten those instead.

 

Hmm... I will have to try to find a set on ebay... but since its springish/summerish coming i have to decide on 20"s or 19"s, any suggestions could i still run a staggerd set up? I have saw a couple IS250 AWD with 20"s on them on cardomain but im not sure if it is the correct thing to do. then again no car manufacter wants big rims put on their cars. Well maybe just Cadillac on their escalades.

 

Shouldn't be a problem. I know the IS350 has larger rubbers in the rear, so the best thing to do is get the same rubber size all around. I believe on the AWD it's 225-45-17's, so you might need to get something like a 225-45-18's?

 

better to run all 4 the same on awd

 

yes you need to stay the same. you cant have any varation as if you do one will be pushing the other or pulling the other doing lots of damage. if you put only a wider rim in the back that shouldnt affect anything but i would double check first.

 

I Know You Can Have Different Wheel Size By A Bit But You Have To Run All 4 Same Size Tires.

I Know The Amuse Acura Rl Is All Wheel Drive And They Were Running A Bit Different Size Wheels Or Offset But The Tire Size Were All The Same.
