Default Will these wheels fit with out sticking out beyond the fenders

For the front are the 17" x 9" (+24mm with 5.95" backspacing) and for the rear the WIDE 17" x 10.5"! The rear wheels are +27mm offset with 6.63-inch backspacing. They are 5-lug (5 on 4 ½).

So the "front " wheels will be much to tucked in for rear placement if used at all 4 corners

So does anyone else think the offsets will work

17s with these offset on a stock bodied sc might not look bad (im not sure though), but 18s are cool too, especially if you plan on going with a kit

Don't do it, don't put Ford wheels on your Lexus... .


I am guessing you are looking at some China made Cobra R replicas or similar, the offset you mention is the ones from the Mustang. The bolt pattern is the same, so they will bolt up, 5 x 4.5 = 5 x 114.3mm...I have a set of Cobra R rims, not replicas but real Ford ones, 17x9's, p/n M179, with a special offset for the Fox body (1984-1993) Mustang cars, 36mm and 6.42 b/s, maybe I'll try those on and see how they look. Put up some pics of what you end up with.
