New Alloy Wheels.

[PatrickM]

Hello,

I´m looking into buying some new rims for my Is200, but i´m not sure what the stock ET of the wheels are?

I was looking at the Ultralite GT-II 18/8½(or 7½ ET42)they are ET 35. Will they fit?

My IS is lowered about 55/50 i got a Coilover suspension.

Lexus quote an ET between 35-42 so they should fit but make sure the wheels will clear the front calipers.

Use the calculator link below to input your present wheel specs and the wheel you are think of fitting to check the clearances and whether they will extend beyond the arches.

Your current wheel details should be stamped somewhere on the back of the rim or spokes.

Cool, the calculator says it to be The Same position of the wheel and considering that it is only gonna be 1inch bigger wheel i get on, that shouldnt be a problem with clearance with fenders right?

I've got 8x18 E.T.45 and on the front they have about 10mm clearance and that's the wheel and not the tyre,so you have to be careful,there was a thread on here between me and another member and i think he went originally for a wider wheel and had problems.

okay, so i should go for the 18x7.5" wheels with like 215/45-18"?
