Hey guys... I've spent the past day or two perusing through here... Very active and informed board! Kudos! (personally spent a few years over at jeepforum, so I'm no stranger to auto forums)

However, reading through some of the wheel spec threads and so forth, I find myself a bit out of my element.
I would like to tackle a few things that have been bugging her kinda as a christmas gift!

Basically I'm looking for advice on a few things: Rims/ tires.... A lower bumper grill replacement thing, and lastly information regarding ****ty headlights....


She has a 2006 IS 250 white auto Lexus.... She has had it for some time now and a few years back was gifted via a friend who had a similar Lexus a few rims... Three to be exact...

Her current rims are stock OEM Lexus 17 inch guys... nothing too special, and to be frank, nothing too special about these newer ones either, but she has been talking about buying a fourth one and slapping them on her car for a long time now!

My question is.... knowing how tricky wheel and tire sizes can sometimes be, especially with an AWD vehicle, and staggering and what not... IS THIS GONNA WORK!!!!?

Please see attached imgur album. Has a few photos, basically what I understand, is that I have two front 18" rims and a slightly larger 18" rear rim.... Ideally what I would like to do is order the rear matching rim and have it delivered before christmas and wrap it for under the tree and the following week after christmas id take her car and new rims to have tires put on and new rims put on the car....

Someone please feel free to point me in the right direction and give me a little understanding if they will work or not. Maybe even a link to a good place to order said rim...



Ok, and now onto the lower front bumper...

Driving to our new home from SC to FL a few months back, she hit a chunk of something in the road and lost the lil grill insert on the lower front bumper...

Where do I get a replacement one, and how hard would you imagine it be to install....



And lastly, her friggen headlights blow... They are shooting literally 5 feet in front of her car and kinda uneven.... Is this a bulb issue, or a housing issue? What needs to be replaced or is there a method of angling the lights?






Guys, just want to say thank you! I know its a lot to throw at you and Im sure the answers are out there somewhere, was having some issues searching around the forum.

Any insight and advice would be greatly greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Lower bumper grill: https://www.ebay.com/p/Bumper-Grille...12734823&rt=nc

Looks like it just snaps into the bumper, you might have to take off the bumper though.

As for the headlights, they may need adjustment: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...t-success.html

Yup, lower bumper grill simply snaps into the bumper, but you'll need to take apart the bolts on the underside to get to it (and even then there's no guarantee you'll be able to bend the bumper out to get the grille back there). You might have to take the entire bumper off.

Taking the bumper off isnt hard, its just a PIA

Lower bumper grill sells for $20 bucks at http://www.rockauto.com

Word.... Thanks guys...

Appreciate the help!

Ive floated through that wheel thread and all the staggered set ups... Essentially im looking for an eli5 version or breakdown of what im buying or looking for. LIke, im not exactly clear on what offset or weird rim sizes are... I guess the general goal is to get the tire diameter to be the same and all goes smoothly.....

Any other tid bits of advice for a re re regarding the rims and tires would be great!
