Is220d New Alloys....

[newbie101]

Hi Guys, very noobish question - I have the 220d with its poxy 16" alloys. Want to make it look somewhat cooler by getting bigger wheels - but being very naive when it comes to such things, I would like to know how 'big' I can go without having problems. Can I fit it with 18"s? Also, is there a website that i can 'look' at them on my car before I buy?. Or a decent website for alloys in General....

Thanks!

We're a little short on examples of aftermarket wheels on the 220/250 in the UK, but look at this link for more than you need to know ;) I have 19" rims on mine, but I wouldn't advise going bigger than that even though some of the cars in the USA have gone 20" or some even bigger.

There's also the option of fitting OEM rims from the range of 18" available from the Lexus Dealerships.
