i havent a clue what the details are of my wheels i know they are 17 inch (IS 200 SE 2000)


i have tried searching and looking at the info above but cant understand it


but what do i need to know before buying a new set only need the front two

Are you buying wheels or tyres?

Standard wheels are 17"x7" (Need PCD = 114.3mm and Offset = 45mm if buying new non-standard wheels)

Tyres are 215/45-17

Tyre size is 215/45/17.

Buy quality tyres, avoid cheap budget tyres like Nankangs- they've got no gip in the rain. I'd spend £100-£120 a corner on some decent rubber.

I've got cheap Khumo tyres and they're good in the wet and dry and last ok.

If you look on the tyres themselves mate you will see some numbers, on mine they say for example 220/40/18 as they are 18 inch...

Plus they will have the tyre make - that is all you need to know really!

Just order the same size as what you have and you will be away!

I dunno about khumo tyres, as I never had them on my IS, but when I bought my IS 3 yrs ago it came with some awful Nankangs on the rears, like I sed, no grip in the rain......soon got rid of them....
