Those of you with 18" LFA replica wheels, what are the specs of the wheels and tire size?

I am currently searching for a set, I found a few on eBay, but I wanted to make sure the specs are good to go for a 2010 IS250 RWD.

Here's the link:

I don't want to find out the hard way that they won't fit.

Thanks in advance everyone!

This should help ya. I'm in the market too although I'm going with the 19's. Either size will fit without problems, just don't get overly crazy with your tires. Any reputable tire shop can help you size your tires or just check the link above for other users recommendations.

Your link doesn't work, but I'm guessing you searched LFA wheels...

I just need to know what specs this wheel has to be in order for it to fit. (Center bore, offset and width)

If anyone has 18" replica LFA wheels on their IS250 RWD, the info would be appreciated!

Search LFA Replica and you'll get your answer. Of note, the wheels they sell on ebay are the right offset. Search Ebay using LFA Replica IS250 or IS350.

I did search and everybody has an answer for 19", not 18".

And the ones on eBay, if you select the IS250 it says that it doesn't fit. Which is why I made this thread to find out what specs to run in order for it to fit.

I know a guy that bought some in 18" from eBay and he has been rolling on them for a while now without a problem.

eBay is only listing 18's in non-staggered (18x8 for all 4 wheels) which is what the AWD's use. If you're running RWD you need a staggered setup, and eBay doesn't have 18's in staggered.

What do you have, AWD or RWD?

These will fit your RWD 2IS, you don't need a staggered set. Recommended tire size is 225/40/18. Ebay compatibility tool does not work properly.

There is a reason that Lexus runs staggered and why the owner should remain staggered. If folks are gonna recommend to deviate from staggered to non-staggered, at least enlighten the person as to the pros/cons vice saying run what you want (not directed at anyone specifically, just making a general statement).

OP,

Check out these links and make a decision based on what you think is best. I read over both post ad there are some valid arguments on both sides. For me, Lexus uses staggered for a reason, and I'm gonna trust a multi-billion dollar company before I trust someone from these forums. There is a lot of great stuff you can learn here, but safety is safety, and if Lexus recommends staggered, I'm trusting their judgement. My .02 cents.

The RWD IS comes with non staggered on 17 wheels from factory.

Lex_Giorgio

Do you know what specs he has? Thanks for the input though!

And my car doesn't have a staggered setup. It came with OEM 16 x 7 wheels.

18x8 all around, +38 offset, 5x114.3 bolt pattern, hub centric

^^^^ I'm not 100% sure but I think that's the setup he ran. He ran them with different tire sizes though. He ran 225/40/18 up front and 255/40/18 in rear.

19 LFA REP I have these on my 06 Gs 430 and 2 out of 4 have hairline cracks around the lip no other damage (MFG Defect BAD CAST) I have had them less then a year and the company that manufactures them will not warranty them, the rep called me a bad driver lol My OEM wheels don't have cracks like this and those where on the car for years. I WOULD NOT BUY THESE WHEELS.
