Can i buy 18inch rims and apply them to my IS 220d? Im not sure if i can, need some advice. Im sure i will need new tyres too. I think my rims are at 16 inches im not sure. i think they can with 16inch rims.

 

I don't see why upgrading to 18s would be a problem. If you plan on purchasing larger wheels, you will of course need larger tires.

What makes you hesitant?

 

I believe the IS220d comes with 17" wheels. You can change to 18, 19 or even 20 if you want. You'll need the right tire sizes and offsets though!

 

Read the side wall on your tire, that will tell you what size rim you have. and yes 18's will fit.

and what killais250 said.

 

hm, what are offsets? sorry guys i am new to cars sadly!, and ive decided not to chip it, as some of you dont think its a good idea! they may be 17 ill have to look later, so i can get 19? awesome!

look in here ^^ lots of info. you can spend hrs in there, i know i have lol...

 

Lol that thread ate all of my free time for months when I was trying to decide what wheels to get.

On another note if your concerned about performance then you should look at wheel weights because you can definiteley feel the effects of a lighter wheel setup versus a heavier one.

 

Great Note! but it depends on the pocket and style you like!!!!

 

Lol yeah I wanted lightweight wheels, but then I fell in love with some heavy ones. So now Im a little bit slower but it is worth it to look so good.

 

What is considered light?

 

Um well personally anything 22 lbs and below is light. 23-28 lbs medium. Above 28 lbs heavy. But frankly in general rims are about looks. So I definiteley put looks far above weight in terms of priorities. If I tracked the car id think differently, but I don't. And looking out and seeing a set of rims that look good will give you more pleasure than the fractions of a second you can gain or lose from different weight rims. That's all just my opinion though.

 

Cool I just wanted to know if I had heavy rims 23 so just above light. boo!

 

haha! awesome guys thanks! so isit worth chipping or not? im sure some chips wont hurt? if it adds BHP and reduces fuel waste! any ideas? isit worth trying?
And I dont want to spend a lot on rims and wheels!

 

How am i meant to know what kind of owner i am, lol i dont get what those names mean in that thread! lol
