I'm new here, just purchase a 2008 Lexus IS350 few weeks ago. Seller only have winter tire so I need to change this as summer is coming. Someone near my place is selling a set of OZ Racing Nova 2 (with tires) with the following specs: 5x114.3 bolt pattern;
Staggered size front 18x8 and rear 18x10 offset et38 for both;
215/40/18 Yokohama tires mounted on all 4.
I would like to as if this is good wheel? and will they fit my car?
Find out the size of the center bore. Toyota/Lexus cars use 60.1 mm. If the bore is bigger, you should use hub centering rings to fit the wheels correctly on to the hubs.
If the bore is smaller, then you'll need find the shop that specializes in wheels and is able to do the bore enlargement. Since those wheels are aftermarket I assume the bore will be bigger than 60.1mm
The front wheels will fit fine with no issues. The rear 10" with 38 et might get pretty close to the rear suspension components. I suggest to test fit the wheels and look for enough clearance.
215 on 10" will have quite the stretch.
In addition look closely at the date of production of tires. Look on the sidewall and find DOT. Just to the right of DOT are series of letters and numbers followed by encircled group of four numbers, for example "2517" indicates that tire was made in the 25th week of the year 2017.
Personally I wouldn't drive tires older than 5-6 years old.
