Hi,

Does anyone know the size of the front and rear wheels as well as the tire sizes Lexus uses by default?

 

They are 18x8 for both the front and rear, 225/40YR18 tires all around.

 

^^^
I'm Sorry - But that is not correct for the 2006 IS


The sizes are as follows:

Rims & Tires

Front 18x8 - 225/40/18

Rear 18x8.5 - 255/40/18


Thanks

You quoted the 18"s with summer tires.

But is that the same for the G-Spiders? I'm pretty sure the G-Spiders are not staggered.

 

I asked this question in a thread awhile back, can't remember the name of it now, but someone responded that the Spiders do have 8.5 rears.

 

Anyone here actually have the Spyders?

 

I do, and they ARE Staggered.

Front 18x8

Rear 18x8.5

 

I had a set.. they are staggered 18x8, 18x8.5

 

Perfect, that's what I was looking for. It seems there is a lot of confusion circling these wheels for some reason.

Thank you!

 

It may be because the ones for the GS300 are all 18x8.

 

I'm sorry, you were some how mis-informed...

If you purchase your car with 18" Summer Tires, you will get the 225/40 up front and 255/40 in the rears.. The summer wheels we all know are staggered...

If you upgrade to the G-Spiders or the ISP Modes.... while your purchasing the car new...
You will get the same sized staggered wheels.... So all they do @ the stealerships is swap out the tires and senors and re-install everthing on the cars..

Oh and they keep your summer wheels!!!!


Thanks

Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking of the GS300. My sister has one and wanted the Spider wheels...

 

but if you want to add them to the IS250 AWD then best to use the same setup all the way around like the GS.

No problem...

I researched the Spider Wheels heavily... I loved the look and the Graphite Polished Finish, but the flat surface design is what turned me away.. They look great in pics, but when I finally got one in my hands and test fitted it on my 2001 IS300... I was stunned on how flat they were.. .

So I went with the 2006 GS 18x8 optional Tourmalines... They look great on my IS and I get plenty of compliments on my New OEM Sporty & Luxury look...
