Already thought about doing "chrome delete" with matching candy red vinyl wrap

Hopefully, not around the windows. (with the red)... remember KISS. If anything, black out the chrome around the windows, and red the emblems. And maybe even the side chrome pieces on the grill. But I think just the emblems would turn out awesome.

Probably a good idea on that. Just was thinking out of the box a little but that may be a little over the top with red. Seeing as that's the interior as well.
Did just put new exhaust on her though so may be a little while to rebuild some funds.

Sorry if wrong thread, just made sense considering the expertise here.

I just got a 2014 Lexus IS250 FSport2, currently on 18 inches for summer but wanting to downsize to 17 inches for winter.

I live in Canada and where I live, winter tires are mandatory. I found a set of winter tires and RWC wheels and wanted to make sure that it'll fit and that the calipers would clear.

I’m buying used to save on costs for right now. Owner says he had a 2014 Lexus IS250 as well, but not FSport.


Wheels are RWC TO80
Bolt pattern is 5x114.3
Centerbore 60.1mm
Offset is 35mm

I found online on https://www.wheel-size.com/size/lexus/is/2014/ that the offset should be 45mm, so that's what I am worried the most.


Can someone please advise? Will this fit?

Welcome to the forum.
As you can see from my signature, I have the same model as you.
The 17 inch wheels should be 7.5 inches wide. With the 35 offset they will fit just fine and clear the brakes.
I used to use 16 inch wheels in the winter until I upgraded the front brakes to the 350 larger calipers. Now I run 17 inch winters.
The 17's will fit just fine on your car.

Thanks for your input Sasnuke. Highly appreciated! I will get those wheels and tires then!

Could anyone comment on how a square set up of 18x9.5+35 would look/fit on a lowered car? Any pics as examples? I'm looking for Work Kiwami's and there are so many in my area for sale but they are all 9.5 +35 all around. I know the cookie cutter plug and play set up is 8.5+35 front and 9.5+35 rear. Wondering how the extra 12mm poke from a 9.5 in the front is going to affect everything. Thanks in advance.

9.5 +35 may push the rim beyond the fender. I'm running 9.5 +45 and it is really close. +40 would have put it right at the fender. +35 may be too much.

Thanks for help guys! I don't want to rub so I'll stick with an 8.5 up front.

Do you think you don't rub in the rear because the drop gave you some negative camber? Or did you adjust the rear camber manually?

I'd like this set-up at stock height, but I'm worried about rubbing and/or poke.

I have the exact setup only my offsets are +32f +42r on my AWD. With downs my camber in the rear is at the outer limits of the factory settings. I have never rubbed,but I rarely have any back seat passengers. Also consider tire manufacturers. Some have a more rounded shoulder vs a more squared shoulder. You shouldn’t rub at stock height.

My goal is the standard 19 x 8.5 +35 front with 235/35, and 19 x 10 +40 in the rear with 275/30...at stock height...with no rub. In theory, with the tire I'm choosing, it should work just fine, but only because the wider wheel stretches the tire a bit, making the shoulder more round. I know for sure it'll work with the 265/35, but I like the wider tire.
