I know some of you are running aftermarket staggered wheel setups. I was wondering if there will be any rubbing issues (fender or upper control arm) on stock suspension with 2014+ is250/350 Fsport wheels. The wheels in question are


18x8 +45 225/40/18
18x8.5 +50 255/35/18


These wheels have a 5x114.3 bolt pattern so I will need to use a 5x100 converter/adaptor which has a width of 10mm. This making the effective offsets


18x8 +35 and 18x8.5 +40


Thanks!

I am not sure you are going to be able to find adapters that are only 10mm, most are 25mm.

Chrispies

Whoops I was 1mm off. Anyhow, Project kics makes adapters in 11mm and 15mm widths.

Hmmm, I stand corrected

The oem lugs, will stick out past that 11mm spacer..... And then hit the face of the wheel. Get ready to grind down your oem studs /be stuck with those spacers for a long long time

But as i write this..... Im sure you knew this....

The isx50 wheels have recessed areas in the rear which should accommodate the protruding OEM studs.

Didn't know that. Carry on

I always thought the IS rims would look really good on the CT so I'm really interested to see how they look! I thought the Fsport rims were 19" however maybe I'm thinking of the ISF.

As for cutting the studs, even if you have to, the new OEM studs only cost a couple of dollars and are independent of the hub. I looked into it at my tire shop before I got my spacers.
