Just picked a set of 18 chrome wheels, Not exactly the VIP style I like, but they were priced right. There used 18x7.5 42mm offset, 225/40/18
Also just added a no-name strut bar without any clearance issues
Rides great, and cornering did flatten abit.
I know the wheels don't match the ES very well but for under 5 bills with brand new tires, I can't complain.
Thanks to Everyone on the forum with there advice and help as well.

...I think those wheels look pretty good, but I know that keeping them clean must be a big chore. That's a lot of chrome!! Nice car.

 

just take it to the lexus dealer they will taken care of it

 

Wheels don't look too bad at all, and I agree that it's hard to resist a <$500 wheel and tire package Take good care of your new shoes!

 

I like the rims, they are looking real nice, but i got a question for you. Do they rub at all when you turn or go over speed bumps? i am going to be getting 18" chromes for my car too but was hearing that they still rub. i originally wanted to put 20" but if 18s rub imagine 20s. and also you said something about a no name strut bar that had no clearance problems, can you show the link where you found it, or maybe where i can find one?

 

Looks good. It kinda reminds me of midnight club 3.

 

I actually got it off another member on the forum, he did not tell me which or where it came from. I had the Solara bar but it buldged my hood which I didn't like. I try to find out though.

As for the 18" wheels No Rub, i made sure I got 7.5 width with a high offset of 42mm.

Thanks for Everyones comments

 

Got any pictures from the rear?? i have 18x8's but am looking to get 18x7.5"s but I heard they look weird in the rear cause they dont stick out far enough? what do you think? thanks

do you guys think 20" with really really lo-pro tires would rub too much? id really like to throw on some 20s but without problems, if theres gonna be rub tho, ill just stick with 18".

 

Heres another shot
I put lots of miles on my lex 18" is good

 

One more shot

 

The Rear Rims do have that slight inward look more than the front, A spacer I'm sure would solve it all. Its not very noticable unless you look for it.

 

Thanks very much for the imput..
