Regarding wheels and tires, IS220d are no different from IS250/IS350. So you could easily go for 19" or even 20".

ex with 19":
Wheel Size : 19x8 (f) / 19x9.5 (r)
Wheel Offset Front: +43 (f) / 45 (r)

Tire Size Front: 235/35/19 Rear: 265/30/19

Welcome to the Club!!!

The biggest that I have seen on the IS and still be able to ride on the road are 20" wheels.

Best to go to a wheel shop and try them on. I know that offsets and tires and such can affect the fit, so unless if you are specifically looking into a certain set, you might as well try to put on some samples and test drive it.

Good luck!



P.S. We don't have a lot of European members on-line, so we welcome your experiences and thoughts. How is the IS220d? We don't have those in the States. And POST PICS OF YOUR RIDE!!!

most people ride on 19", I think 20" is kinda too much IMO.

except for Javy's car ofcourse

^LOL!

To the OP, welcome to Club Lexus - even though you joined back April... Check out the aftermarket wheel thread. You'll find a ton of information and photographs to help you select the perfect alloys for your car.

Welcome to Clublexus! We have vendors here that ship overseas like Sewell Lexus and Carson Toyota (Check the vendors forum).

Not sure of UK shops, let me check some of my mags

i think many of us here would love to hear a 'owners' review of the IS220d, all we have to go on is that 5th gear review.

AND...
