225/45/17 8J Et38? '54 Is300 Sportcross

[ExLegnum]

Hi guys,

OK looking at my wheels this morning and quite depressed by the (traditional) dandruff effect appearing all over. My idiotic newbie question is... still sat in the drive is my Legnum, on the Legnum are some very nice newly reconditioned wheels and very new tyres. ( Which I had imported as they are a bugger to find only for the gearbox to die 1 week later!!! Grrrrr) They are 225/45/17 all round on an 8" Rim with a +38 offset (Think the Lexus wheels are +42?) . I think I'm right that the PCD is the same? (114.3) My question basically, is the extra width and offset difference going to foul the suspension or the arches ?? More concerned by the front and the offset issue tbh, as my rears are already 7.5 (Standard staggered set) Has anyone gone with a similar set up? They are off an Evo8 (Enkei) in case anyone wanted to know, not disimilar to 'Aero' wheels style wise funnily enough. Thanks in advance and for tolerating such a 'Noob' question! Cheers, Brad.

That will be just under the limit to hit the fenders both in front and rear when running over big bumps and so.
