Default Found IS300 with GS350 wheels: How about 2IS?
I found this while looking for GS350 wheels on the 2IS. Looks decent on this car, so I imagine even better on the 2IS.

There are people that run the GS wheels on the 2IS if you search. They do look good though.

I did search and that is how I found what I posted. Let me try other terms in my search.

Thanks.

probably not... might be too much of a stretch for the rears. You can probably go 225 all around. I think you might need spacers in the rear. or run spacers all around and then run up to 245

I will just keep the tires that are coming with the wheels then. I kind of wanted a slightly wider tire on the rear.

stretch?? are you crazy The OEM ISx50 rims are 18x8 front 18x8.5 Rear
so in front you are good, in the rear you are safe also you can easily run a 255 on a 8inch rim

I meant it might be a stretch to run 225 in the rears on a 8.5. Sorry wasnt being too clear

For me, I would probably do 235/40/18 and put spacers in the rear to push it out for a staggered look. In this way, you can rotate your tires!

Anyway, i have the same GS350 wheels for my 2GS. It only comes 18x8. Don't know what are other's thoughts on putting a staggered tire size on non staggered wheel sets.

Your old 225 and 255 tires will definitely fit.
