Do the Australian models come with the factory sidemarkers as well?
And yeah it finally came on. I had to drive down to my local shop where I order stuff, and it's a little farther than my usual commute. I can't stand having those lights on the dash lol. Good thing I have another set of TPMS on the way

This is only for reference, for anyone who, for whatever reason, decides to put 16-inch wheels on their IS250 and wants to see what it looks like. I did a quick search, and although it has been discussed, I didn't find any pictures. Personally, I have them on my car for a winter wheel/tire setup. Stock AWD suspension.
Oh, wheels are 16x7 with a +40 offset, and tires are 215/55/R16.
Another note, IS350s can't run 16s because there isn't enough clearance for the caliper size. Just FYI

, guess i'm gonna have to stick w/ 17" lol. Do you happen to know how much larger the caliper size is between the IS250 AWD vs IS350 AWD, or does anyone know? Many thanks.

So OP is running 215/55/16 on their winter setup.
Does anyone know what the 225 equivalent should be? 225/50 or 225/55?
I'm running OEM 225/45/17's for the winter, and honestly the tires are too thin for any real pothole protection (Went through 4 tires this winter alone in NYC). Looking to run 16's next year and figured i'll get a head start on the shopping.

I have 16" RTS prius type five spoke alloys for my winters. When I put them on, I noticed that the front calipers had maybe less than 1 cm clearance. The other day I noticed that the front calipers barely cleared the stuck on wheel weights.
