Lexus IS wheels

So i was walking through a parking lot today and saw a new IS350. Thought to myself, those wheels are really nice! tried to picture it on the TSX, might be pretty good looking! anyone ever seen this, or can photoshop it? thanks! (yes, they are 18's

My neighbor has a IS350 and i've also wondered about this. I'm pretty sure the bolt pattern is the same, just don't know about the offset.

Since the IS is rwd, the wheels are probably staggered too.

^^the IS250 AWD isn't staggered, but the rims are 17s


For the 18s:

Front - 18X8 45 offset
Rear - 18X8.5 50 offset

I know there's a lexus dealer on ebay (ID: deland_toyota) that sells a set of 4 18X8 and 18X8 every once and awhile for a pretty good price (dealer take offs).

I believe the centre bore on a Lexus is smaller than our Honda/Acura. If that's the case, you'll need a machine shop to make the centre bore bigger to fit.

Correct me if I am wrong.

So it won't fit? Is enlarging the center bore a huge alteration or is it easily done at the shop?

you are correct. my winter wheels came off a lexus IS200 and I had no idea about this, so had to get the center bored out a little for it to fit, I can´t remember exactly how much I think 3-4mm.

jack up the front of the car, put it in first and sit there with a cutting bit from a lathe until your centre caps fit!
