hope you get your car back soon, and that you wont have to wait too long.

I went to a place called prestige auto in artamon to get the bodykit painted and fitted, didnt have any issues with colour matching, ask for Raffi or John. They are also Lexus approved.

fronts 19"x235x35, rears 19"x275x30

tyres are kuhmo ecsta, no issues with rubbing, only had them for 2,000km so there is 90% tread left. left rims have small scratches. Asking $2,200. PM if you are interested. got the mag wheel nuts and lock nuts with it as well.

why dont you just buy the rims and tyres from Sydney dealer, it will cost a bit extra but you will get the peace of mind that the wheel and tyre package fit the car and that if anything goes wrong then you could always bring it back to the seller. just make sure that the offsets on the fronts dont exceed +40 and rears +50. there are plenty of rims that will fit the lexus.

the higher the positive offset the more the rims will stick out. I have +38 offset on the fronts and +45 offsets on the rears.

insurance will only cover you for 1" greater than largest factory wheel diameter car, those being the 18" wheels that come standard with the sports model. never heard of there being warranty/insurance issues with width of rime, but if this is the case then the sparts has 18x8.0 fronts and 18x 8.5 rears which would mean that 9.0" fronts and 9.5" rears would be fine.

Getting an INGS kit installed at the moment at the panel beater so I will wait till after to see if there is any clearance left from the bodykit, think it will be too low to drop it after the kit.

I have 19"x8.5" fronts and 19"x9.5" rears on my IS250 and there is no problems with the tyres rubbing, have 235x35 fronts and 275x30 rears. Just make sure that you have the right offsets and you should be fine, there is plenty of room in those IS250 guards.
