Correct they did come with those sizes just like in 08-11 with the 8 & 9" wheels but it is among the opinion of many members here that Lexus under tired the ISF from the get go and had an opportunity to widen the widths with the 12-14 BBS wheels but they did not and for no good reason? Hence why the 245/275 combo is so popular........

yes you're correct but also note that in 2012 Lexus bumped the rears from 9" to 9.5". Many of the drivers in this forum have increased the tire size accordingly. in fact with 9.5 many will argue you can go up to a 285 width tire...

^^^^With the 8½", 9½' Width wheels on the 2012+ ISF you defiantly can. Tire Rack's sizing chart is attached. When I had stock wheels I ran 'em on the 9" wheels and enjoyed them. Other members, however did not.

I like the mesh concave look but I like the spokes thinner.

unfortunately, because of the offset of the rim, i am unable to put 275r without rubbing on the fender.. will need to get the fenders rolled.. as it sits right now, i'm ok with it.. tires are only 4 days old so might as well run it till needs to be replaced and maybe bump it up to 275 later..
