I need to get a set of good all-season wheels and tires. Seems that I need to consider going 17" as there is a MUCH better selection of all-season tires in that size.

Tirerack.com says a 17" wheel will fit and I have been looking at the following ones, listed front and rear. The wheels are WedsSport SA-90 Bronze.
Has anyone installed 17" wheels on their IS350?

i havent installed but i have seen them before, my 250 came with them, they will work just fine. the tire sizes are correct but the offset i have no clue, hope that helps

Can someone point me to pics of an IS with 17" wheels. Does it look like crap?

I was trying to find pics of a IS lowered with 17" wheels. Also, arent teh brakes on a 350 larger than the 250?

Find any stock picture of an AWD 250- 17s is what they come with from the factory.

Actually, 17s is what a 350 comes with from the factory too, 18s are the optional wheel (it's just extremely common for them to have the option)

Oh ya? I used to love 17" wheels on all of my older cars, specifically my old BMW 330. I liked how they had a better ride since the tires were a higher series. Never seen a IS350 with 17" wheels though. Wasnt sure if it would look terrible.

My car has the F-Sport suspension on it. So it sits a little lower, so maybe 17" wheels during the fall/winter wouldnt look too bad.

My dealer had 350s with 17" when I bought my 250.

what do u guys think about 16" wheels? like lets say ap1 s2000 wheels?

nicholasg

no way a 16" wheel would clear those brakes.

heres mine lowered on the fsport suspension with 17 inch. IMO 17s look ok when viewed from the front or just a little to the side, but when you view them from a complete side view, they look a little small. Unless maybe if your car was slammed or something





i've got 20mm spacers on the back wheel too but thats pretty muc it

It doesnt look bad, have a pic from the full side view?
