Work wheel questions...
Hey Guys,
I found a set of Work Emotion CR Kais 18 x 7.5 and had a few questions. https://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/wto/5693542566.html
1) Is this a good deal?
2) Do 7.5 inch width and 225s look to skinny for our car(Rear)?
Any feedback would be appreciated!

1. Yes. All four with tires mounted and lugnuts is definitely a very good deal for those. Find out what thread the lugnuts are. Our cars use M12x1.5.
If they are M12x1.25, those only fit Nissans and Subarus
*The offsets of those wheels are pretty high. If you were to test fit one on your car, it would sit in the same location as a stock Lexus SC wheel. So if your car has stock wheels on it now, imagine them being 18s, and you have an idea of how the fitment will be
2. Well, the general rule of thumb is, the higher your car is, the skinnier the wheels will look. So at stock height, these wheels are only about as wide as stockers (16x7) with an oversized tire on them. Now if you want to be as low to the ground as possible, you could tuck using these.
That's just my ideas. More people should chime in soon

1997Soarer I really appreciate the feedback!
Wherls and tires are not my forte whatsoever. I was just thinking that if indeed I want to go wider in the future these would be easier to sell being the brand they are.

Thats a good deal for those wheels....but they will look goofy and be really sunk in......maybe grab some spacers to fill it out...
Generally a wider setup is better for the SC....for example around a 18x8.5 or 18x9 in front and a 18x10 or 10.5 in rear...
Unless you wanna go full supra setup you can run 18x10 front and 18x11 rear...but generally that will require high offsets to fit

Thanks for all the responses thus far!
I just wanted to do my due diligence to make sure I don't impulse buy these. I'm going to check em out tomorrow night, but I feel like I may want to go wider in the future so I might just end up skipping these and spending more on something else.

With these he would have to send them out to a place that professionally widens wheels, and it would cost considerably more than $200 a wheel
