I have a 220d sport with genuine 18" alloys,but i,m a bit confused as to why the previous owner has stretched 225/40/r18 tyres on the rear wheels. They look lost in the archs . Can anyone explain the reason someone would do this. Is it just to save a few pounds?

Previous owner might have thought that it has the same tyres all round without realising that the lexus comes stock with wider rear tyres and also the 18" wheels have a staggered fitment of 8j and 8.5j for the rears. Seems a bit silly to me if it was done on purpose!

Is that apply to all IS models and tyre sizes?

the second gen is from my knowledge.. if it comes with factory 18" wheels, they are 8j front and 8.5j rear with offset of 45.. So id say that they are probably running default tyres at 225/40/18 front and 255/40/18 rears.

hope this helps you mate
