Default Im A Tire Noob. Need Help!

I have stock rims (18's I assume?) 06' IS 350

I want the Five Axis X5:F rims really bad!

Do I need to change any setup to fit these rims on?

Thanks! Pic below with dimensions:

you'll need to provide the following information:

overall wheel diameter/size
wheel width
offset (ET)

without more information, we can't help you.

here is some more information on wheel tech: http://1010tires.com/tech.asp?type=wheels

read up.

Hard to find, best I found so far with the dimensions.

Which choice would fit a 06 IS ?

so far you've determined what wheel diameter size. now you need to figure out wheel width and offset.

wheel width will determine what size tires to run, while wheel offset determines fitment.

i highly recommend looking into this mega-thread/table of contents/index thread to see similar-spec wheels (and tire combinations) and how they would look on a 2is.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ead-index.html

as a matter of fact, there is a fiveaxis owner's thread in there as well.

and if you have any questions about wheel/tire fitment, you can pose your questions in this thread.
