Default AXIS Milano

Will the Axis Milano wheel clear 2nd gen. Lexus GS OEM brake calipers?

What's the proper offset? This wheel only comes in 19s with black shadow finish w/ machine polished outter lip.

Size........................Offsets...................... LIP

19x8.5.............15, 35, 40, 47mm.........2.25"

19x9.5................20, 40, 45mm.............3.5"

I'd appreciate constructive feedback.

Please, No flaming this wheel, style, or the manufacturer. I've already heard it all. LOL!!

Thanks!

F: 19x8.5 +35 or 40(+35 will look better IMO)
R: 19x9.5 +40 or 45
No flaming but that looks very similar to Maya DTS

Guyz and gurus....

Thanks for your responses so far....much appreciated. I was thinking +40/+45 offsets for the staggered setup.

Now....what about clearing the OEM calipers? Looks like it will clear, but I don't want to take any chances.

Does the offset affect caliper clearance?

I don't think u should worry about the calipers with any of these offsets.
IMO......I'll go with F:+35/R:+40 for the most staggered setup.

Very nice looking wheel.

I hope they come out with chrome.

I assume its a one pice with three piece look.

3.5" rear lip is real nice and the front lip is 2.25"

For the price, they are nice and AXIS is a solid name.

Well....no one at AXIS plant can give me 100% guarantee that it will clear my OEM front calipers. They say they were 80% -90% sure. THAT'S NOT GOOD ENUFF!!

Nice wheel, I likes. Do they make the wheel in 18x5.5. If they do what offset do you guys recommend.

Makes buying custom wheels from guys like Iforged and HRE easier knowing this
