i know my wheels weigh 23 and 27 and some odd change, unless I am remembering incorrectly.

Seems to be all forums i've visited, not just this one...but this one seems to be the most relaxed one. We will argue regardless..expample...why did i buy BBS LMs to put on my 2012 when i have the OEM wheels in the garage, they weigh similar but folks will argue down to the ounce. Even then, we'll probably debate about the quality of the scale and when it was calibrated..and by who.

I actually bought the scale in the pics to weigh my bicycle. It's quite a bit lighter than the wheels...and the Weight Weenies crew don't quibble about the scale I'm using.

Pics or they don’t exist . I like LMs, and if you track a spare set of wheels is a needed investment.

Just asking the experts.

I am putting these BBS ISF wheels on my ISC. Would 225/35 and 255/35 be the right tire sizes without rubbing? OEM on the ISC is 225/40/18 front and 255/40/18 rear. Stock suspension. Currently the wheels have 225/40 front and 275/35 rear.

Do you have an ISC250 or ISC350? If you have the 350, will the IS-F wheels clear the calipers? I thought this was an issue on the IS350, so assuming the brakes are identical.

Edit: They won't fit on the 350 without spacers, start with this thread (if needed): https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-on-is350.html

^^^^That thread is talking about the original 8" front wheels. The wheels Ryan will be using is the later 8½" wide wheel. Offset is the same @ +45mm. So, all things being equal, the spokes will be out ¼" further from the calipers. The wheels should clear the IS350 calipers fine. Ryan's tire choice looks fine as it maintains the stock ISX50 stagger and tire OD.
