Hello all,
I recently acquired 18" f-sport wheels for my 2011 is250 AWD. These are the wheels that match the AWD systems. My question is does lexus reprogram the car computer to recognize 18" wheels when customers upgrade to f-sports?
Stock tire- 225/45/17
Fsport tire - 225/35/18
Online calculators tell me I'll be going "3%" faster because of the shorter tire. What tire sizes have you all gone with?
-Chris

hey chris, the recommended tire size for 18x8 wheels is 225/40/18. there's no reprogramming to speed sensors when you switch wheels. the only reprogramming you'll have to do is to your TPMS sensors. have you tried this website to calculate tire sizes?

The Lexus vehicle does not have the ability to to reprogram the speed sensors.
The engineers at Lexus at programmed it such that the spedometer will always report accurate speed or above but never below your actual speed, assuming the proper tires are used.
This is what it would be.

Thanks for the responses guys. It would seem that even with a 3% too fast difference, the changes in MPH are still within the acceptable range.
