Hi, and Alstublieft!

Hi guys,
OK looking at my wheels this morning and quite depressed by the (traditional) dandruff effect appearing all over. My idiotic newbie question is... still sat in the drive is my Legnum, on the Legnum are some very nice newly reconditioned wheels and very new tyres. ( Which I had imported as they are a bugger to find only for the gearbox to die 1 week later!!! Grrrrr) They are 225/45/17 all round on an 8" Rim with a +38 offset (Think the Lexus wheels are +42?) . I think I'm right that the PCD is the same? (114.3) My question basically, is the extra width and offset difference going to foul the suspension or the arches ?? More concerned by the front and the offset issue tbh, as my rears are already 7.5 (Standard staggered set) Has anyone gone with a similar set up? They are off an Evo8 (Enkei) in case anyone wanted to know, not disimilar to 'Aero' wheels style wise funnily enough. Thanks in advance and for tolerating such a 'Noob' question! Cheers, Brad.

Hi guys, hope we're all well. OK after the gearbox on my Legnum decided to die (not uncommon ;) I thought I'd go for something that gave me the space and room that didn't break! I'm off to grab my new baby on Thursday, 2004 IS300 sportcross. Just a quick question, I know (or at least think I do) they should run 215/45/17 front and 225/45/17 rear. At present she's running 225/45 all round,how much of a problem is this?? I understand all the rolling diameter and the like,was just wondering whether it's a bad idea to run as is for the moment as they're pretty much brand new (and decent brand) tyres. Has anyone had experience with the slightly wider fronts on? Apologies for being a typical newbie and jumping straight in with a question!! Cheers, Brad.
