isf wheels sizes between 2008-2014
Anyone know if there are any differences in sizes for isf original bbs wheels from 2008-2014? I keep hearing the 2012+ models got wider wheels, but couldn't confirm online.

2012 Models are .5 inch wider in the front and the rear. 8.5 and 9.5 respectively..

Indeed they are. That's why I have the '08 wheels sitting in my garage and 2014 wheels on the car with 255 fronts and 275 rears.

Even happier now that it's confirmed. Wonder why they kept the tire sizes the same then.

any pics of this setup (side on etc) lobux?
I recently upgraded to 2012 wheels and will be looking at changing the tyres (225/255) out in around 6 months from now.
currently fitted with swifts so that may cause issues with the tyre profiles you mentioned but I might still give them a go.
Thanks.

A lot of us wondered the same thing, it was an opportunity to for Lexus to give the ISF a little bit more meat along with the wider wheels?

All my pics were shot with 245s in the front. The 255s look blocky compared to the 245s which looked slightly stretched. 245 is optimum fit on an 8 1/2" rim, 255 is a little big, but considered acceptable by the tire manufacturers.

I would love to get the 12+ wheels.......... they are so hard to find and quite expensive when you do.

I would sell mine if i find another set I like because I have no garage space. But I'm scared I might regret it. It's so rare!
