Hopefully this can be laid to rest quickly, but I was looking at getting either the G-Spiders or the ISPs on my IS250 AWD. I looked on the Lexus dealership site and this is what I found...

Why is it that it says RWD only? Is that true assuming they would be staggered and not the 18x8's? Hopefully this can be cleared up quickly. I would be purchasing through Sewell Lexus Parts where they do have the option of 18x8.0 / 18x8.5.

 

RWD uses a staggered set up so thats why its not compatible with the awd models. Sorry to say but AWD gets shafted with almost everything.

i think?

 

You can buy 4 18X8 for your AWD.
I did with the G-Spiders on 225/40-18 all around..I got mine from Sewell.

 

Ok I figured thats all that it was, just wanted to be sure. Now I am just curious how much money they are gonna spank on my rims at customs since I from Canada. Either way, 248.00 US$ at Sewell, and 425.00 CAN$ from a stealership up here, so I would think I would still save money. Exchange rates are still almost dead even. If anyone else has experience with getting rims shipped from the States to Canada, would they be able to let me know how much more I would be getting charged for them to get into Canada? Thanks

 

Use Sewell's 10% off discount code cl911m.
You'll save about $100 on the 4 wheels.

 

just so you know, you CAN run staggered set up IF you want... its not like you CANT~

 

But its not recommended, and if I do have the option for a 18x8.0 all around set up I might as well. I guess I would consider that if I were looking around more broadly for wheels, but I feel that the Lexus alternatives are nice and not expensive at the same time. What I call bang for the buck .

+ Thank you for the discount code, I was pretty sure there was one.
