Use will be almost exclusively in UK. I have winter tyres on seperate rims for my SLK and it does well in winter. My preference was to change to winter wheels/tyres combo which will be easier in a non staggered format.
My SLK experience leads me to favour a dedicated wheel/tyre combo for the Lexus as I will be keeping it for a while.
17 inch non staggered set up is standard in non SEL variants I think. I cant think of any reason why they wont fit, but I am not very mechanical!
Or I can get staggered tyres and change over twice a year - not a huge problem really. I did that initially for a couple of years with the SLK and the rim did deteriorate.

I just went with 18" tyres. More expensive, but I felt retaining the looks was something worth paying a little extra for.
I did have to downsize the rear to 245/40-18 though as 255s aren't available i
Thanks. Any issues with 245/40/18s? Do they appear stretched or look more likely to be kerbed? Doesnt the rolling radius drop?

Lexus dealer says, swap to winter tyres same size and on same rims. That is ok, but if anyone can share their experience downsizing to non staggered 17 inchers, I would be grateful

The worry that something big will break sooner or later turned me away from getting an E class to a Lexus. Since 2007 i have driven Mercs and they are lovely cars, but need TLC periodically.
CL has its own brand of problems if you trawl various forums - which I am sure you have. I would keep a little pot of money aside for maintenance.

Was the car Battery drained?

Good to come across this thread. Will try the insulation tape trick. My SLK had a similar issue but i adjusted the striker plate and that was sorted.

Thanks Chaps. So would 17 inch rims and 225 tyres should fit as a winter option?
Thanks

Any thoughts on this matter chaps?

Hello all,
My new used IS250 SE-L [2010] was delivered home today from Lexus main dealer. . I noticed that it had 18 inch rims with 225/40/18s on front and 255/40/18s on the back?
I have read previous threads on how 225/40/17s can be used all round for winter tyres, but wondered does this hold true for 18 inchers? Also are these tyre sizes standard for 18 inch rims?
Thanks

But replacement windscreens should have it included. Had the windscreen replaced on my Merc, and the auto wiper works ok.
BTW. New here. Bought a new used IS250 yesterday and awaiting delivery on Thursday!

I stuck with stock size and got michelins all around. So far no problems.
