Check this out LOL.

Car has no mods and these came off a 350z.
19x8.5 +22 245/35/19
19x9.5 +22 275/35/19

They are off the car until I put on new tires.



Rear:


Fronts:



I plan on doing 225/35/19, 245/35/19 with coilovers.

Offtopic:
Somehow I found one of the studs broken.. so I need to fix that. Lexus has some soft studs.

Can toyota do Lexus warranty work?

Good luck with fitting the rims. Even with coilovers and stretched tires, I highly doubt you'll be able to make it work.

I'm not sure if Lexus will replace the stud under warranty. You can always ask and the worst they can say is no.

I have yet to break a stud, you guys gotta be jumping on it! Get a torque wrench and use it.

BTW the wheels were cool at one point, but to see them on a Lexus... an IS-F makes it ricey.

Not my cup of tea on the wheels, but if your happy that's all that matters. Congrats and good luck on the fit!

Unfortunately, these offsets will never work on the IS-F.
Even after extensive fender modifications.

Now to avoid broken studs, stay way from heavy duty breaker bars (shown in your pics).. or even the oem one for that matter..

Invest in a Torque wrench instead.. It will save you lots of time & money in the long run..

Ha, thanks for the criticism. But thanks for the torque wrench suggestions, I will go pick one up asap. You would think a 400+hp car would have stronger studs. I never broke studs on my 350z and I could jump up and down on them all day long.

Why do they need to be stronger? In 22 years of owning Toyotas I've found a couple of things about their studs. First, they don't break if you don't over-torque them. Second, they use the same studs on almost everything except their largest SUVs, so if you have a fixed value 76 lbf torque wrench you can safely install wheels on anything Toyota.

FWIW, I've never had a lug loose and never had a problem with any Toyota lug nut either.
