The members here donate time to help people, not write books

Offset is determined by wheel width as well. So you may need some serious grids to figure out all the information you need. Not to mention that TIRE SIZE is critical. If someone mounts up a 345 tire on a 9 inch rim with only a 37et then yeah....it wont fit.

Hahaha...that's HARDLY the case...rather crass of you, with 4 whopping posts to insult over 12,000 members of ClubLexus.

Why is it that it sounds like you run a shop and you need th offsets to get customer's wheels on there correctly?

If you really wanted to find the offsets, you could try using the search...any enthusiast wouldn't have a problem RESEARCHING before buying...I mean really, are you buying custom wheels for ALL your cars at one time...

Better yet... he doesn't have a RX but wants the offsets for every size wheel you can put on one? Hmm.... sounds fishy.

hahaha...busted! I love how a vendor (though in the UK) comes here, looking for information to help HIS BUSINESS, with 4 posts mind you, and doesn't even want to offer the members here anything (in terms of becoming a paid vendor to help support ClubLexus or any other form of help for that matter) and then nearly demands to get information from us...and when he doesn't get it, he crys about it and insults everyone by telling us **WE** don't much info....

Well Mr. DD, apparently, we have more information that you do since you don't seem to have any!

Some people...

Also, why did you put FL? You're in the UK...at least that's what your IP leads back to...in-addr.btopenworld.com...."BT" is British Telecom...hell, I was just there, I saw it all over the damn place!

Over here means the UK I know you have the info thats why I asked here

Not a prob if you dont want to help "you only had to say sorry dont want to help." because it easy to sit behind a key bord and be sarkey.

If I was trying to hide who I was I would not put my home page down.

The wheels are not for my car's and I did not say they were I was simply answering DIN'S post

And I thought americans were one of the most willing & polite people in the world all the ones I have met have been great and I have met a lot but this obviesly didt include the guys that posted replyes now did it. This is no joke I really did think this I have a house in the states and it is obviously only in my area they are like this.

One other thing My
My SC430 2002 is in red with rutland int
My LS430 2001 in in ivory 066 with ruland int
My GS430 2001 is in Plat ice with black int
My GS300 1999 in in royal saph with andora int
Great Cars love them all


Iv had an RX & IS did not get on with them just not my sort of car

Sorry if I caused you any Problems


Wheel exsperts can you supply to the UK ?
