Question about ENKEI wheels on 2017 IS200t
Hi guys. I have a question for you. Got my new IS few weeks ago and for now Im running stock 17" on winter tires. Its getting warmer every day and I would like to buy a summer setup for my car. I want to avoid vossen and 19" so my target is ENKEI 18" Thats where I need your help.
My types are ENKEI TM7: http://enkei.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/tm7.pdf Or RAIJIN: http://enkei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/RAIJIN.pdf I would like to buy tires in stock fsport sizes 225/40/18 255/35/18 Maybe... maybe in future I will go for RSR half downs. What et should i get for front and rear wheels to not rub? Oh and please dont say anything about big tire wall and 19". I drive fast, I drive on bad quality roads, Riding 10mph, in house area to impress people is not my target. Also, any pictures with similar setup and specs would be nice! Thank you! |

I will consider Michelin Pilot SPORT 4 or 4s, Uniroyal Rainsport 3 or Pirelli P ZERO |
So... I found out that oem fsport wheels are 18x8 et45 front and 18x8.5 et50 rear.
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...349ef1e8da.jpg So how about enkei TM-7 or TD-5 https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...1604f3a244.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...757db27e3d.jpg But I would like to go similar to stock spec... So according to enkei size chart it would be: 18x8 et45 front 18x8.5 et45 rear So I should get perfect stock front and rears would be moved a little more outside. Am I right? |
If you have a 350, you might want to go a bit lower on the offsets... The front calipers a big and wheels need to be spec'd accordingly.

I have 2016 is200t, but the one facelifted to 2017.

OP just because you pick a wheel with the same sizes/widths/offsets as stock doesn't mean it will have the same brake clearance--spoke design has a lot to do with that too. Having that said, all of the Enkei wheels you are shopping look like they have very flat spoke designs that will probably offer plenty of brake clearance. |
