Will These Wheels Fit My Is200

[kirbymeister]

Hi guys ive been looking around at the information on wheels and offsets etc and ive been offered a set of wheels and was wondering if they would fit they are 17" wheels that are 8J with a 32 offset and have 225/55/R17 tyres on them. Will these fit and if so will i need spacers or something as i dont want to have to mess about with rolling arches or anything like that. If there not an easy fit i wont bother getting them. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Rob

From the information you have given they should fit, the IS200 offset is 38 so there will be a 6mm difference so that's really insignificant. You haven't mentioned the PCD which must be 114.3 for the Lexus and of course 5 stud.

Also you need to check the bore of the wheels as the standard Lexus bore is 60.1, if the wheels you are considering are different you will have to buy and fit spigot rings to adapt them.

Also wheel nuts, Lexus OEM wheels use sleeved nuts but most aftermarket wheels used the tapered type, make sure you fit the correct type of nuts for the wheels or you will damage them, worse they could snap studs through overtightening or even come off!

Plenty of info on here

cheers for the information mate. They are 5 x 114.3 stud pattern and i know ill have to buy the correct wheel nuts and get the right sized spigot rings for the center bore but i was more worried about width etc as i dont want any rubbing or anything on the arch or the suspension struts as i had wheels on my skyline in the past that rubbed when you went over a bump and just hated driving it in the end. I have the 16" lexus wheels on my is200 at the moment and was told they were a 50 offset which is why i thought the 32 offset on these new wheels wouldnt fit. So just to double check width wise with an 8J wheel and 32 offset and 225/55/R17 tyres all round you dont think i will have any rubbing issues or anything like that? Thanks again Rob

You will need to change the tyres to 215/45X17 to keep the rolling radius the same :)

If i didnt change the tyres to 215/45/17 would my speedo be out by quite a bit then or something? Other than that can you see any reason why these wheels wouldnt fit the is200 or would rub etc? im really paranoid about rubbing wheels as i was caught out on the past when i bought some wheels for my skyline which i was told would definitely fit and found they were way to wide. Cheers Rob

instead of changing to 215/45/17 could i not keep the 225 width and get a 45 profile instead so it would be 225/45/17. I didnt know if a 215 on an 8J wheel would be a bit stretched or not thats all. Also ive been using the wheel calculator to figure out size differences etc and the 16" lexus wheels on the car at the moment are 6.5J wide with a 50 offset. With the new wheels being a 32 offset and an 8J wheel would they still fit in the arches ok and not stick out to far and rub the arches or rub against the struts? Heres the information the calculator gave me when i typed in the dimensions of the wheels on the car at the moment and the new ones.

Wheels at the moment are 205/55/16 6.5J 50 offset

New wheels are 255/55/17 8J 32 offset

sorry for all the questions guys i just wanna make sure they will definitely fit with no problems before i go ahead and buy them. Thanks again Rob
