Default Minimum requirements?

Hi,

I'm in the market for some wheels and have read a lot of threads discussing wheel fitments. I'm a noob at this and dont really know what to look out for when buying a set of wheels.

According to the Lexus site the Stock wheels have an offset of 45 F and 55 R, and on some other sites it says the requirements are "Higher offsets". So, does anyone know the minimum/maximum offset requirements for the ISF.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I remember seeing ISF with as low as 30 offset in the front. I could be wrong tho. And camber makes a difference too..

I don't like hellaflush+hellacambered look but if you do, offset can go even lower.

I would rather not do any modifications to the car, that's why i want to know the minimum requirements. Thanks for the info though.

I have 9.5 +32 in the front and it easily fits. I might add a 5mm slip on

Good thread. I too am sort-of shopping for wheels (the right ones with the right deal pop up and I will jump on it) but I don't want to do any fender work or bumper tab relocation, and I definitely don't want any rubbing. I want to stick with 19" as opposed to going with 20s as well. That said, some of the wheels I like are wider than the stock wheels in the back (9.5 or 10.5 instead of 9") and slightly wider in the front as well 9" instead of 8". I'd like to run something maybe 8.5f, 9.5r with offsets in the mid-upper 30s, but I'm unsure if that will fit with or without lowering the car.

The weds are one of the best looking rims by far, and this is where the min/max requirements for the ISF would help in making the right choice.

When i filter out rims on tirerack.com for the ISF the weds are unsupported. When i choose them it says that "these rims will not fit the Lexus", however a couple of members out here have the weds on the lexus.

So anyone with any info about the min/max requirements, please chime in.
