Lexus Is300 Rims On Sc400 Pics
Does anyone have pics of IS rims on an SC. I just got them in chrome and I havent put them on yet. Also what size tires should i get 245/45-17?

The OE IS300 wheels are relatively narrow, at 17x7"
I wouldn't go wider than 235/45-17- even the OE GS400 17" wheels are 17x8 with a 235/45-17.
Even the 235s will look quite 'bulged' over the IS3 rims- not a great look if you ask me...
Most tire manufacturers recommend at least a 17x7.5 for a 245/45-17, so depending on the tire you choose, the 245 may be "illegal" (not within the manufacturers' tire design parameters).

I agree that you will be pushing the safety limit with 245's on 7" rims. My GS430 17x8's have 245's and they're perfect; perhaps could get away with 255's without rubbing. The IS rims are nice but you will still have that sunken in look that you had with the 16x7's. Too bad you couldn't get your hands on some GS 17's.
