Default lexani wheel

Hey Guys just got my 07 lexus is350. Everything is pretty stock on it. I was thinking of going with these wheels first. I have matador red color. Also I was thinking of going 20's but not to sure yet. Since there different sizes in the back can I do 19's in the front and 20's in the back. What do you guys think?

These will look nice on your car. Nice lip also go 20x8.5 front and 20x9.5 rear is you can. If you go 20x10 with a + 35 you gonna need a fender roll for sure with even a modest drop

Congrats and welcome to CL. You should be fine with those wheel sizes. Do 225/30/20 and 255/30/20. That's what I'm running. You don't want to rub up front.

Welcome to CL

Those wheels actually don't look that bad, when I saw Lexani wheels in the title i was expecting to see one of their uglier wheels that have been posted on the forums before That might look pretty good on a MRM IS. Have you looked into HRE's?
