thanks Cake! 18x10 effective offset +10 fits perfect oddly enough it's 5mm more aggressive than the 19s I was running before but gave me more clearance 225/40 on the 18s and had 235/35 on the 19s. Didn't touch the coils. Still sorting out the rear fitnent though. Gotta love chasing the wheel and tire dragon!!

My new winter wheels arrived today, although the rears are slightly different color than the fronts.. like noticeably.. so now i gotta see what the guy i ordered the wheels off will do, pretty much the company made 2 versions.. and i got a version of each, they look pretty good though, hopefully get it sorted it and i'll have some good winter wheels.

i got 18x9.5 +34(22 was out of stock) and 18x10.5 +22.

Now im gonna buy the blizzak ws80 but they only come in 225/40/18 235/40/18 and 245/40/18 and 255/35/18, im wondering what would be best to run.

The 235/245 it closest to the stock size so speedo wouldn't be as affected.

But i wanna make sure i got no rubbing so i wanna keep the tires small.

Thinking 225/40/18 up front.. not sure about the back.

I test fitted one of the 18x11+42 with 305.35.18 R888's off Supra on GS. Sorry for bad pic I only put on one wheel and used jack to push it up. I was surprised that there was still at least an inch and some left on the inside to go in more that tells me that 12" rear with low to mid 50's offset shouldn't be an issue on these cars.

...looking for the "you're welcome" button firelizard lol.
Meagan EZ (no where near maxed out) thanks to Sage front RCA and rear AutoFashion RCA blocks. Swapping out the front RCA to camber RCA soon as they make it stateside should tie it together nicely to match f&r camber.

These bolt right on, current? No spacers or hub centric spacers needed?

Does anyone have a set of these they want to sell!!??

Thanks all! First time Lexus owner and you all have been a godsend.
