Lift_yo' Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 hey guys, Im looking into getting some wheels for my car. I came across a set of wheel, but not sure if it would fit so here are the specs; Rim specs size - 19inch width - 9.5 inch offset - +45 tyres 245/35/19 What is the max rim spec the IS could take without rubbing or guard rolling? Any opinions or experiences? Andrew, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantis Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Those will fit on the rear with no problem. Forget about them fitting on the front with that width though without some serious under guard modification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
334mm Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I suspect that the fronts with that offset and width will hit the suspension arm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEX51S Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 my work wheels were custom made to fit the IS by a guy in the US who imports from work japan.. no scrub at all except when the car is ridiculously low but solved by guard rolling. work 19X9 +28mm offset R disk (to go over 350 brakes) AND 19X9.5 +35mm offset O disk. http://www.ravspeconline.com/shop/catalog/ contact mark for a custom setup for how ever you want to run.

fatjoez Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I bought mine with 245s front and back want to run 235 front / 255 rear though when I replace in another 5000km Thinking about Kumho KU31s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanel Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 So what specs are you looking at for not needing to roll the guards or modify? Ie Rim Size - 18's, what off sets and tyre size are standard or are as big as you can go? Any help or advice or even links would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantis Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 +45 offset and no wider than 225 on the fronts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanel Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 @Atlantis Hey quick question, is your car lowered, if so how much? Looking at these rims currently, whats the go with the TMPS? Just in us cars or in aus, i have a 2008 IS250 so. Also anyone else bought off tirerack? whats yours opinions on them or is there a better place in aus? http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseUpServlet?target=runWheelSearch&autoMake=Lexus&autoModel=IS250&autoYear=2008&autoModClar=RWD&initialPartNumber=MR12288012745BML&i1_Qty=2&wheelMake=MOTEGI+RACING&wheelModel=MR122&wheelFinish=Black+w%2FMach+Lip&wheelFinish=Black+w%2FMach+Lip&showRear=yes&selectedRear=MR12289012745BML&i2_Qty=2&dtab=OptionalHardware Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantis Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 My suggestions are for an IS with standard suspension without lowering. I haven't lowered mine, so take that into mind if you plan on installing similar sizes onto a lowered vehicle. Fanel: Those wheels should have no problem at all fitting onto an IS, even a lowered one. Width and offsets are excellent. Is your IS a Prestige or SL? Does the SL even support TMPS? If it's a Prestige, zero worries as it doesn't use TMPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanel Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Ah ok then well that makes sense, yeah i will do. Ok then, I am looking for those style of rims, will shop around and see if I can get any info on the quality of the rims and website. Its just a prestige. To be honest i have no idea about this TMPS so. Ok then, should I have started a new thread for asking these kind of questions or? Don't want to step on any toes or 'crap' up other peoples threads, kind of new to this whole forumn thing. thanks for your help Atlantis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
