New wheels

Marleez · January 21, 2021

I'm gonna go for some aftermarket wheels.

Does anyone know what the offset of the original front and rear wheels?

I want to make sure the offset matches the official front and rear wheels.

Hi Marlon, I would use this link for alloy wheel information:

https://www.wheel-size.com/size/lexus/

just find your car and it will tell you everything there is about the wheels.

The wheels are 17inch x 8j wide 45offset and 60.1 centre bore on the original wheels...

but you don't want to use offset 45 the fitment of the original wheels on Lexus's IS horrific...

For reference the size of my wheels is is front 19 x 8.5j and 45 offset and the rear is 19x9.5j and 35offset

***** you will agree Fits the car much better

Looks good. I'd go for 19s. What size tyres do you have on fronts and back? So you get any rubbing when you turn your front wheels?

Also do your back tyres rub under load?

225 35 19 front 255 35 19 rear it depends on how low you will run you may need to grab a heat gun and roller the bumps out of the inner archers at the front

Ok because I have 225 35 18 on the front with spacers 10mm. When I had 235 35 18 on the front with 10mm spacers I got rubbing.

What is the offset of your wheels in the first place?

Linas.P · January 24, 2021

On original Lexus wheels (both 17s and 18s) offset is 45.

I have lexus nx 18's they came with the car. So I dont know the offset. I'm thinking to upgrade to an isf. If I can find a white 2012 model.

Linas.P · January 24, 2021

Funny enough, white IS-F was just added to autotrader today for £14,000, but not 2012. Any particular reason why you want specifically 2012?

I seen it. I want one with factory drls.

Linas.P · January 25, 2021

Yes, but for price of 2012 IS-F you can get RC-F which not only going to have DLR, but will as well going to be 4 years never model and 8 years never technology and design.

I mean from time to time you can find RC-F for ~£26-28k, and 2012-13 IS-Fs ~£23k nowadays... have no idea who is buying them and why, but that seems to be market pricing now.

Obviously, up to you, but I would rather get £14k IS-F (that is the price I can understand for ~8-10 years old car) and if DLRs are really that needed then retrofit them or fit aftermarket lights.

I dont like the rcf. I like the isf. The 2011 + models have updated audio with USB and hdd plus drl like my current one has. The 2011 shape is my favourite IS shape.
