Couple questions regarding RIMS
I currently own a 2014 Lexus is250 AWD and finally decided upon getting rims.
This would be my first ever aftermarket purchase for any car, and I was wondering if I would have to buy certain alignments because of my AWD.
Im currently looking at the directional wheels by VOSSEN or the previous Lexus is-F forged rims, which I cannot find anywhere. (If anyone knows where to find them let me know please)
I saw someone that had them, and ordered from a site awhile ago but I believe that site is now currently not operating.

The key things to note when getting different wheels/tires are: diameter, width, and offset.
Stock 18" wheels are:
Front: 18x8.0" offset +45mm with 225/40R18 tires
Rear: 18x8.5" offset +50mm with 255/35R18 tires
Go to www.tirerack.com to learn what the terms mean, but as a safe bet, stick close to stock specs, and the only question boils down to your preferred style.
