Default RC F Aftermarket Wheels (Merged Threads)

I have ordered the White RCF with Carbon package and would like to change the wheels to a 5 spoke design.
I would like to use the tires that the vehicle comes with.

If you are like minded, please share your choice or options for the RCF.

I'll be putting on Vossen Precison Series forged 5spokes. Might try the CV3 too. The stock wheels are wider than most Lexus and the 255 front tire patch means more room.

This CV3 looks real good.

What will the lug pattern be? 5x___?

Some companies are selling wheelsets staggered with 19x8.5 front and 19x10 in rear.
You guys think 19x8.5 could be placed in front?
Would the stock tire work on the 8.5?

(To replace the 9.0 front wheel).

Here's a chop I did a while back.

The wheels are Rotiform NUE 3pc



If you'd like to see more of my wheel chops of the RC, visit the thread below.

Since the RC is inspired by the LFA, Lexus should have just put on an LFA-styled wheel and call it a day. Those Velgens look good on the car, btw.

Default Wheel fitment (aftermarket wheels)

My Molten Pearl RC-F w/ PE package came in earlier tonight, I'm going to pick it up tomorrow. I have a set of 19x9.5/11 +24(all around) Work Meister S1's sitting around. Do you guys think this will be too aggressive?

Can the people with aftermarket wheels post up pics of your set up? Can you also include size including width and offsets? If you are lowered, how much? Springs or coilovers? I'm not trying to go all "VIP" or "stanced" with it, but something where I can at least run the stock 275s in the rear. I'm just trying to gauge how much wheel/tire I can fit depending on sizing.

Thanks in advance!

There's a few builds so far with aftermarket wheels. I'm patiently waiting on my Volks to get here ( ordered first week in January..but should be here very soon). I think you'll be fine except for possibly the front. There seems to be an issue( not really an issue..just might have to cut) the fender liner some. As of right now you have only one choice for springs and/or coils and that's from RSR. Someone I believe has put a set of BC coils on successfully, but I would never use that garbage on my cars. The RSR springs is what I have sitting in my office floor until KW finishes something for us. FIGS Engineering http://www.shopfigs.com/v1/ offers some nice LCA and linkage pieces(also sitting in my office floor) you might want to consider if you want to have more flexibility in adjusting your camber http://shopfigs.com/v1/index.php?rou...product_id=282. On my wheelset I'm going with 20x9+37 & 20x11+48. For tires I've picked out 255/30 and 285/30. Obviously, with those suspension bits you'll be able to "tuck" a little bit more if you need to...but I'm guessing if you stay with a 275 you'll be G2G. There's also a large group of Lexus guys that seem to go for the VOSSENS on here for the wheels...maybe call them up and pick their brain about fitment and offsets. Rastaracer has a little write up on his build and wheel/tire specs....go take a looky loo at his build thread. Very nice wheelset BTW! Love the Meisters!

Front is pretty flush when ur low, rear need some camber and small tires. I've tested fitted a lot of rims and it seems the sizing is the same as the Isf

If thats the case, I guess no Work Meisters for my RCF, unless I have them re-barreled and lipped for a less aggressive sizing.

I'll test fit the rears when I have some time and post up pics, I currently don't have tires on my fronts.

Just picked this up late this afternoon.
