Those look too big to be the IS300 rims. I agree with above, looks like the Modas with Lexus center caps.

I zoomed in and they seem to show the Lexus symbol in the center of the wheel, but they look too big to be IS-300 rims. Do you think he just replaced the "moda" center cap with a "Lexus symbol" one? I like that they fit the visual profile of the car very well...I'm considering some 17inchers of the same wheel.. What do you all think?

Lastly,
what is the largest width tire safely to use on this 17x9 Moda R6 wheel? Tire Rack showed the rear recommended tire size as being 265, but I could've sworn I've heard of people using wider tires...

If you really want to stay with 17" wheels, just get the IS300 wheels.

If I understand correctly,
these Moda's can handle the supra TT and LS400/430 brake calipers while the IS-300 wheels cannot perform this function..true or false?

Question

Btw, on Clint's website it says he's using the Supra TT brakes..but I thought they don't fit the Moda R6's and I thought it said on his websit that he's using OZ wheels??

They do not list them fitting a Supra on Tirerack's site so I would say they do not clear the calipers.
