Thanks I was waiting for a member to post up some pics of the new Grey. Gonna miss the SGM. Just for the record I was going to the dealership to see the Nebula Gray pearl on a IS 250/350

Wheels are definitely upsized with different rear offset. Tires are all the same. I was pretty surprised to hear they'd changed the tire sizes - something like that usually takes a real suspension and chassis redesign. Here's a summary straight from the horse's mouth:

It's not usually Lexus, it's usually someone reporting for a magazine who writes some useless drivel about new aluminum hubs, and other crap they have no idea about and it ends up in a magazine. I swear some of the things I read about the MkIV Supra in the motoring press over the years have been nothing but drivel. Same seems to be true for the F.

Noticed something with those real-life 2012 wheel pictures Joe Z put up: What's with the extra holes they put in between the lugs? Weight savings? It reminds me of those terrible dual-pattern aftermarket wheels... too many holes, too messy.
I was hoping they'd look like grey versions of the Ferrari 360 Stradale wheels, but the extra holes spoils the look...

From the pictures I took.... The side walls only show as "Pilot Sport".. 
If they were the new "Pilot Super Sports", it would have the word Super and also 2 checkered flag designs before & after the words "Michelin"
Maybe they need to unload the rest of the PS2 inventory before moving onto the newer tire design. (if they do)

It really makes the wheel & tire combo look a tad bit smaller in my opinion...
Thank you for the updated chart..!!
