Wheels!

[lexii]

HI, I'm back after 15months away.

I'm picking up an 2001 RX next week, and was wondering whether 17" IS wheels have same offset & stud pattern?As I've refurbed set in my garage.

You should be okay. The (PCD) stud pattern is the same throughout the Lexus range. The offset may differ slightly but with 17"s I think you will be okay.

At least you have got them there to try.

Welcome back, what is wrong with the existing wheels ?

Nothing? Just thought it may look better on IS wheels with lower profile tyres, I should think 60's or possibly 55. But who cares anyway I am glad to be getting another Lexus.............................

I have been running my Mk1 RX on set of Mk2 18" wheels with 235/50 pirelli scorpion tyres for about 5 months.....looks nice and drives very much better....the overall diameter is a little small but works very well....brings the ride hieght down about 15mm and obviously the lower profile gives far better road holding.......

Having said that I do have a set of 255/55 waiting in the wings ready for winter.....just trying to get the scorpions to wear down a bit more

Best regards David

Doesn't the RX have an offset of 35 whereas the IS alloys are 50? Not sure if that's the mk2 though............

This is what I am trying to find out? Was hoping some one here would know the answer or perhaps point me in the right direction...........................

Offset 35-42

The 17"s off the IS will fit

Many thanks Pete
