Hi everyone !

I have the 2006 STOCK IS250 16" rims

I was wondering, if I upgrade my rims to 18" do I need new rubber? I seriously dont know and need you guys help

Thanks in Advance

 

If I understand your question correctly, Yes. You will need new rubber the same size as the wheel's diameter.

 

Well, if you go from 16" wheels to 18" wheels then of course you need new tires. You can't use 16" tires on 18" wheels..

 

Would it sound mean if i said i spit out all the water in my mouth all over my computer monitor and keyboard reading this post? jk man.... but seriously thats common sense.

anyways to answer the question........... yes if you have 16 inch tires and want to know if itll fit on 18" rims..... NO! you need 18" tires foo

 

^^ LMAO! everybody gotta start somewhere, guess this is your start.

everyone has answered your question already and i would just like to let you know that there are more posts to come about this question. so, GUYS be nice!

 

16" tires on an 18" wheel - the new standard in the "stretched" look!

(Just messin' with you, OP. The 18" wheels will look much better on your car than the 16's)

 

gotta love pengu as your avatar. by nephew is 8 months, and that is the easiest way to shut him up hahaha

 

I'm not quite sure how one would think that a 16" tire would legitimately fit on a 18" wheel. Granted I understand that everyone starts somewhere, but I would not recommend modifying a vehicle to an individual if such a "common sense" question is not common sense to said individual.

It is your car, so do whatever you may please, I would just do A LOT more research if I were you.

 

Isn't the stock wheels on the 2nd Gen IS 17"? Doesn't really matter though, but yeah, you need new tires. You can goto tirerack.com to get some basic understanding of tires and wheels.

 

not for Canada. standard is 16" steel wheels.

 

You'll definitely need new tires! Usually when I'm stock I'll buy my springs/coils first then move on to rims. That's just me though, to each his own. Goodluck with the tires bud, I'm interested in what rims you're grabbing and the future mods.

 

Thanks everyone LOL I'm such a noob.

 

Says who??
