I've just take 2 shots of the tyre from 2 slightly different angle. As you can see the rim and the sidewall preety much squared and even out. Compare it with my previous pic with the 225 - i'm sure at that time the rim was sticking out for about 0.5 cm. As for -1.26% error, I think I can live with this :)

Hi Tony...The guys at the tyre shop said it's ok as the aspect ration sill the same (235/40/18). I've driven the new tyre for about 2 weeks now. and it seems ok. I mean it's hard to notice if the speedo off, but when I do 100km/h on eastern freeway looks like my speed is the same like any other car around me hahaha. Preety lame method of testing huh? :)

I just back from tyre shop. Re-fitted front with Kumho KU22 235/40/18 and it's perfect! The tyre protruded a little hence enough rims protection. It does look much better too. No rub at all - and didn't notice any difference on the weight of the steering (it probably a tiny difference almost unnoticeable).

Hi Ricky, I check few forums and 235/40/18 will not rub so its safe to go, and as for rim protection and better look i think it's the way to go? Altough 225 is ok, but i really dislike the look... Looks like a smaller size in front :( I'm going back to to tyre shop tomorrow for a test fit with 235/40. Hopefully the want to trade with my 225 since its only 1 day old.. I'll take a pic once its done

Hi guys, Just back from tyre shop to put on new x pacakge 18inch wheels in my is250. The wheels looking great but for some reason something looks odd for the front one. The tryre size seems not wide enough for the wheels so the lip is sticking out (hence not much wheel protection too). Is it possible that the tyre is not mounted properly? It looks a little ugly to be honest :( I confirm many times from many online sources and dealer that the front tyre size is 225/40/18 for 18/8 wheel size. Which is the tyre that I bought, but I'm wondering it can look like that if it's OEM recomended size? Tyre is Kumho KU22. See pic for better explanation of the situation. Any toughts? any x package owners experience this too?

This topic can be closed, I've bought a set from Lexus Blackburn through their ebay shop.

Hi all, looking for a full set of 18" x package wheels that is still in good condition. Anyone selling? PM me if you do. I'm located in Melbourne. Melbourne based would be better.

Just had my 90k service done @Lexus Blackburn today, supply my own iridium plugs. In total cost me $1080 + gifts (LFA cap and lexus pen) hahaha. And a free courtesy car as well (didn't get 350 tho) My mate is one of the mechanic there, he confirm that lexus use castrol (not full synthetic one) and Lexus charge me $90 for the oil. I should've brought my own oil too. Car is good, engine feels smoother and they managed to fix front passenger door trim rattle too. Not a bad outcome. I have waayyy terrible experience servicing my E class before both mentally and wallet hahah.
