Looking For A Spare ?found One

[VJJ]

Hey all, help please:

I don't really understand the numbers and just looking for a quick yes/no answer so here's asking:

I've got the standard 17" 11-spoke alloys on my lex.

Ended up getting stuffed with a recovery charge because I didn't get a spare to swop in (previous owner had taken it out and misplaced it).

Seen a singleton 17" "Lexus" alloy that I could pick up.

7.5X17 ET45 PCD 5X114.3 BORE 60.1

My understanding from the IS200SE Specsheet was that the 11-spokes were 7.0x17

Questions:

1) Would this swap in and fit without any adjustments?

2) Would it take the same size tyre: 215/45/17?

3) Would the car drive funny, with 7.0 on one side and 7.5 on the other?

Thanks in advance

Yes, it will be ok.

That was your short answer, but here's what i think:

You dont need to go the length of getting an alloy the same unless you would sub it in as a permenant replacement, most cars now use space savers, which are half the width of the normals, used just to get u home & normal tyre repaired. so i wouldn't worry too much about it.

and if it's a lexus alloy i doubt they will be different sizes, never heard of them changing width as the years went on??? sure someone will put me right tho.
