I do have an RDX wheel set sitting in my house waiting for tires. is250 wheels are sick but too much $$$, plus the tires. But man they are made for the SSM/ASM TLs! Tell us about the spacers specs.

I thought IS250 wheels were 60.1mm center bore and couldn't fit on a TL without boring them out to 64.1mm?

My buddy has a set of these wheels in his garage. He swapped his IS350 18x8.5 + 18x8 wheels for F-Sport 19x9 + 19x8.0 Forged. I can probably buy these wheels off hims cheap. I've got a set of new 245/40/18 960 tires sitting in my basement...

Although I'd rather have all 4 18x8.5 for the ability to rotate front to back.

Are they the gunmetal rims? My friend got an IS350 with the sport package a couple weeks after I got the Tl and I've always liked those rims. Any chance of them fitting the TL with the correct offset?

Are you talking about the IS350 OEM wheels? They look just like the OP's wheels except they're more silver looking than the OP's wheels. 18x8.5 50mm offset / 18x8 45mm offset



If you're talking about the F-Sport wheels, they're 19x8 40mm offset (20.5lbs); 19x9 40mm offset (21.5lbs). These wheels have a flat gun metal painted finish. I found a deal for my buddy and brother in law and they both bought a set ($1000/set new in box including F-Sport black lugs). I would have really liked a set of these in all 19x9's bored out to 64.1mm for the TL, but the deal is gone. The cost to bore out when I called a shop in Spokane was about $75 for a full set.
