Default Dream Come True.. sorta

I have found my dream rims in a actual price I can afford...now i just have to double check the fitment with yal pros out there..

The rims r LM's...

Size - 18x8 (f) / 18x9 (r)
Offset - 42mm (f) / 38mm (r)
Lip Size - 1.5" (f) / 3" (r)
hub bore - 73.1 (I have no idea what that is.. )

Anyways will these fit a stock is300?? Or do I need to do something to fit them? If so what?

ALSO .. any suggestions on tire size for them??( I want it to look clean n flush if possible I can't afford coils til jan)..

Thanks again yal r the BEST!!!

Roll front and rear fenders. Go with 215 or 225/40/18 and 245/35/18.

My wheel specs
F: 18x8 +38 w/ 225/40/18
R: 18x9 +38 w/ 245/35/18

You can do 235/40/18 in back, but that size is pretty tall for our car. It can definitely be done, but I prefer to keep the O.D. close to stock. If you plan to slam it, the shorter tire may be better. Also, when you drop your car, your wheels will naturally camber in. Unless you get a camber correction kit, like Fig's Mega Arms, your wheel will camber in away from the fenders the lower you go. I'm at -1.4 deg now, but it would be close to -3 deg if I didn't have adjustable LCAs.

Nice wheel choice! and the 73.1 is the hub bore, the lexus hub bore 60.1, so just get a set of hubcentric rings that will close the gap. Then you won't have issues with vibrations.
