Default Need to Identify Wheels

Hello everybody!

I am enjoying my IS350 AWD, but there are what I believe are F-Sport wheels that I would love to change from the stock ones. I hope you guys can help me identify them!

Please see this review: http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/159...iew-test-drive

Does anyone have a model number? Keep in mind I have the AWD version, so from what I understand the wheels will be different from the RWD in the review.

I appreciate the help!

If you buy a set from the stealer they might set you up with a staggered setup, which DEBATABLY is bad for AWD. Anyways Sewell sells them by wheel, so you could pick up 4 of the same width. Here is the link: http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2013/2394.html

These are also F-Sport wheels which can look great if you are looking for something different, but still a Lexus part!

Awesome, thanks so much! They are pricey wheels, but once my stock wheels need replacing (probably in 10k miles), then I'll get these ones with performance tires and use the stock rims for winter tires.

Thanks!

I was looking back at the Sewell site, but there is no model number or SKU.

Does anybody know it? It would make it a lot easier for the Part Department to identify the wheels when I go in to get an estimate. Hopefully it won't be a problem on AWD.

Part #: 42611WY070 18x8
Part #: 42611WY080 18x8.5

When you add items to your cart on Sewell.com the part #'s will show.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Finally, will the staggered dimensions be OK for AWD? To me, it would make sense that they would all 4 be the same. I can understand staggered for RWD, though.

Make sure you sign up with Sewell to get the CL discount. It's currently $458.79 each (18x8) with the discount.

Wow, that's a great deal. Now to find a pickup or SUV to drive the wheels to the dealer for install.

Any recommends on tires?

You should get the 18x8.5 all around and 225-40-18 for tire size.

Yep, I bought 4 front wheels (part number 42611WY070 18x8). I am not going staggered. So I guess it will be tire size 225/40/R18 for all four wheels then?
