Hi all,

new owner here, has anyone try putting wheel with offset 50 on 2010 RX350?

I know the stock is offset 35, and TireRack's selection is as high as 42, but will 50 cause any issue?

just looking to get a set of wheel for winter, and saw a IS 18" stock wheel.

thanks for the help in advance.

 

Personally, I try not to mess with the offset. It is one parameter that determines how the center of the contact patch is relative to the suspension angles.
The higher you will go with the offset, the closer the rim will be to the suspension components. You might be able to get away with skinny tires. I use 255 winter rubber with 35mm offset and it gets pretty close. That is 10mm increase. You would be looking at 15mm. Should be alright, but I wouldn't recommend it, though.

 

Agree with Vlad. If you don't know anything about offsets in general, look for a winter set as close to oem specs you can find. If anything, just get winter tires and swap them out on the oem rims.

 

I also think the hub size is different on the IS. Our wheels are hub centric for centering.
