Answer

Just came back from the tire shop. We tried 4 different wheels including the RTX Envy 17x7.5 +40 that I was sure would fit. We even tried a 17x8 +45 and it was touching the caliper.

I'm going back tomorrow to try some RTX Akina 17x8 +40, hoping they will fit!

Here are some wheels from fastwheel that are suppose to be fore lexus

valeta : 17x8 +45 offset
http://www.fastwheels.ca/productinfo...d=8&bp=5x114.3

I think both pmctire and clicktire sell them (clicktire does not deliver)

---------

RWC wheels: <-- the nicest wheels

But the offset are +35 <-- im worried about +35 offset
http://www.rwcwheels.com/en/site/col...r-wheels/lexus

also sold at pmctire

------
DAI wheels
http://www.daialloys.com/results.php
OEM - DW73 - 17" x 7.0" +35 60.1


I think that's about it...at lest the ones that look decent....

RWC are really the nicest ones....sold at the dealer or PMCtire at a reasonable price

I'm worried about the +35 offset sticking out more than what came with the car : my current Front wheels are 18x8 +45 offset rear 18x8.5 +50 offset

So im kind of frozen at the moment and cant seem to makeup my mind - im really really undecided

Good luck

Answer

Keep in mind that the width of the wheel will also influence the poke. A 17x7.5 +35 will only poke 3.7mm more comparing to stock wheels.

newToIs250

Yes you are correct. The rim will only stick out 3.7mm more

17x7.5 +35

But this site http://www.wheel-size.com/calc/?wheel1=225-40-18X8ET45&wheel2=225-45-17X7.5ET35&fcl=50mm&wcl=30mm&scl=50mm

Says that the tire (not the rim) will stickout 10 mm more than stock - thats almost 1/2 inch

Although i really dont know how he calculates this??

im really confused

Thank you

Answer

I also don't know how they calculate this... But anyways, it's the rim that is important. And I don't think we have much choices other than a +35 for a 7.5" wide wheel. And my guesstimate would be +40 for a 8" wheel.

Update!

We tried the RTX Akina, they also don't fit.

So I finally ordered a set of RWC LX69 Black. 17x7 +35, but they were confirmed to fit by RWC (will still test fit them before mounting the tires). Other choice was the LX95, but only available in silver.

For those wanting the other RWC models, RWC told us that they will only be available beginning of November...

Answer

Oh, the RWC's are 175 a piece of anyone is wondering!

Thank you very much for this update

please let us know what happens

Do you have an f sport package? is that why the rims didn't fit?

Thank you

Answer

Yes, I have a 350 F-sport. The spokes of the wheels are touching the calipers, that's why they don't fit.

Pretty sure all these wheels would fit the 250 due to the smaller calipers.

Hope it works out for you....

Please let us know what happens...

For youngster "MAGS" referred to magnesium wheels......not many of them left. They used to explode when they got hit into pieces.

Long time since I've heard that.
