    Thank you very Mach for help as I had alots problems with it,just question I found set race wheels  and they are 18" front 8j 225 40 rear 8.5j 225 40  offset is this I'm like yors 35 ET DID U HAD ALOT PLOBLEMS WITH FRONT DID CAR LOOKS NICE U HAVE NO PROBLEMS FROM RUBING IN STRUT JUST ROLLED ARCHES,DID U ROLLED THEM?

      No problem, I just used a roller and a heat gun for the arches.

      I went from 16 x 6.5J to 16 x 7J so only half inch wider than stock and probably same width as the stock 17 wheels so I've had no issues with clearance on the strut. I'd recommend jacking the car up and measuring the distance between your strut and back wheel rim and check on willtheyfit.com 

      Is there a reason why you want such large wheels? Your car will just be slower, the gearing becomes even longer and the ride suffer also

  5. Hello guys I'm wondering if u could help me with alloys I found for sale they are Borbet deep dish 17 5x114.3 ET40 9.5j I'm just a bit confused...I now is a lot info on forum about sizes etc.but just 17" 9.5j interest me as original Lexus comes with 7j OK! and 9.5j --everybody say it's on 18 size wheel............so my question is did they fit in my car or this 9.5j will cause problems with steering or I will need roll arches....??? Kind regards.

  11. Hi I thing that's good to try to modify air flow to brakes I been thinking about this......u can get in halfords this looking like alloy pipe 10£ its bend in many directions so u can design channel pushing air in to brakes,might not be easy as u have tire on way and brake shield,,,hmmm let me now haw u doing ( some people use Olso more gearbox to break,not discs and they end up with problems use breaks hard don't buy RUBISH and get EBC black diamond discs they are expensive but have hardened material I have use them on my AMD tuned Golf mk3 220bhp) they are the best.
  12. Hi guys just update about my problem with bearings booked garrage 9 DecemberI just checked my brakes and they are new,Olso checked pins and yea.....bottom ones got stick ans sized so took a bit time to pul them out but now wheels turn so better Olso brakes work in full mode the best ever!!!! I love my Lexus
  13. Thanks for all help,I do have a bit cracked gums on ball joints,Asher,but thing they are still OK as car feel very good tight responsive no clonks etc....just feel this grinding noise first when I got it car thould that tires rub on something? Any way breaks fell really good but when I turn hub it doesn't turn Mach I would say if u turn hard will spin one full turn hard to explain.......sorry,pain I booked bearings and new hubs on 9 December in garrage,did any body now good hubs buy? As new is£112 from Lexus can't afford £ 50 can buy good hubs? Do u guys now good company?
  14. Hello thank you for yors help I did checked wheel when I had car of the ground....and it wobble up and down and sides and it didn't felt right ,wheel turns smoothly and u can hire brake pad grind only litlle,but then I never had problems with wheel bearings so don't now about haw Mach play wheel would have if any,I thing should be solid no play at all? Do u now guys haw Mach might cost to do it at garage as I can't do it my self u need puller etc.i mean I'm good at this but have only street no garage......I'm from Somerset Ilminster any body now about good garrage?
  15. Hello guys I just got nice Lexus is200 sport👍 but the problem now is that front wheels grinding when at the speed ,a lot right more then left,corner side driver dashbord shakes.....but I did read all topicks about the breaks etc. I took wheels off inspected. I'm good with cars,but can't find fault as checked breaks (didn't removed to inspected) as when I turn wheel its moves easily but u can hear grinding litlle from pads,then I found that's brake disc have play on hub wheel holding bolts?... There is no bolts holding discs to hub? Checked pictures on Internet it seems to be that's normal?..so now I lost my clues,did is possible that grinding still comes from breake calipers there are new but used....rear bolts are rusty so this might be problem.....I do have good breaks,when I turn steering wheels when drive in left or right it's feel like not grinding as Mach feels more smooth......can u help me as I can't find folt with is....I Olso checked plates be hind discs they do not touch discs.......I have wear tires in side edges I booked for Wedsday all chassis alignment can be wheel.bearings?????
