TrevS Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) Hi all I am currently looking at buying a set of new lexus wheels for my Supra to give the car a modern yet OEM look. My car is an NA with standard brakes. The wheels in question are from a new IS250 F-sport. The wheel sizes are: Front - 18"x8" 40mm offset Rear - 18"x8.5" 40mm offset I am still trying to work out how offsets etc work but used the offset calculator and got these numbers back. Front Rear Finally would the width of the rear wheels be an issue as they are only 8.5" wide? Any help or advice would be much appreciated Trevor Edited September 22, 2010 by TrevS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevS Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Yeah they look lovely and have that OEM kind of look which I like, nothing to over the top. I think the rear wheel widths are going to be too narrow though which is a real shame. Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev a 20mm spacer would go in fine, i would have though, i would say there room to have bigger spacers all round bringing them flush to the archs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would keep looking Trev for a more suitable wheel size. How about a set of the Lexus GS300 wheels? Pics HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think that I could get the rears widened as there is a company I know that have done a few fellow Ford GT40 owners wheels in the past.

TrevS Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 What about having the rears widened by 1", would the offset change or would it be ok? Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
