The tyres are 225\45-17 nokian hakka r, previous greneration (not r2)
The offset on the rims I believe are 38. They are either 38 or 40, but i can't remember.
The rims are a cheap brand called rosso. The model is RR8.

I just put in my order for

Nokian hakka R2 225/45/17
Rtx akina 17x8 45 offset
Tpms
Bolts

Quebec taxes

2225$

Damn

Answer

Expensive, but since we have no choice, better make it look good even during winter! haha!

newToIs250

Yes expensive

But i really wanted nokian R2

I got prices ranging around 2150$ but with michelin xice3

So in the end i paid 20$ per tire more for the nokian r2 and ended up with 2225$ or so

Anyways. Now onto the weathertech

Nokia r2 225/45/17 on rtx akina 17x8 with offset 45 with tpms clones plus bolts for 2225$ includes quebec taxes and federal taxes

My origianl lexus center caps fit these rims


The nokian ride softer than my 18 staggered tires which is good for me, not as Aggresive

But the 18 inch oem are crisper/sportier

Thanks all

Answer

Doesn't look bad at all! Can't wait to see how mine will look! (Well, sort of)

They are ok looking for winter. I didnt want to damage the oem wheels as they are 1000$ each

There arent many that are direct fit on the lexus at a reasonable price


They also showed me how to reset the tpms computer via a button under ther steering wheel just in case

225/45R-17 Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D XL

From Tirerack. Just installed, tires came with that white stuff on it. planning on washing it later.
Going to admit i was extremely nervous about the front rims not clearing the 350 calipers. it's REALLY close but seems to drive without issue. The weight stickers that were on the tire were barely not scratching the corner of the caliper.

Ride on 17's feel very comfortable. it's about 65 degrees here today so not really going to be able to test out how they are in "winter" conditions any time soon thankfully!

Few questions,

does anyone have a detailed diagram or picture on where the front and rear jack points are? the Lexus manual has a really bad picture and I couldn't figure out where they were. I just ended up using the jack points on 4 corners with the emergency spare tire jack

and where can i get "L" center caps? I'm not a fan of aftermarket center caps.

newToIs250

Not bad for winter setup


I cant answer any of your questions

My oem center caps fit my new aftermarket rims

I have a question, what is the foot pounds that is needed to tighten bolts on lexus is250 with torque wrench? And does this number depend on the bolt type or car (i bought new steel bolts for me new winter rims)?

Thanks

Answer

Jack points are front crossmember (it sticks out a bit of the plastic panel) and rear differential.

I torqued mine to 80 ft/lbs w/ a torque wrench. i think the official spec is like 77 or something like that

Low profile jack that lifts 1.5 tons at my local canadian tire shop

http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/mo...l#.VkDP_788qpQ

Is 1.5 tons enough or should i wait till another sale for a 2 ton jack....

Thanks
