18x8 Rims, I want to buy rims that are 18x8 but are they too wide? Options

[Black0nBlack94]

So I was driving down my block yesterday I saw this Lexus IS300 with theese rims that I absolutelly fell in love with. So I did some research, the rims are from a 2006-2009 Lexus Is, and the dimensions are 18x8 with a 45mm offset. I know our cars come with 15x7 but I was wondering if becuase the rim will sit higher, will the extra inch on the width cause a problem? Would I possibly need to use spacers? If any one has rims that are the same dimensions as theese lemme know how they fit, Im driving 96' Vert at the moment. Thanks guys preciate tha help

The 2IS (2nd gen IS) comes with a staggered set up unless it was AWD. The fronts are 18x8 +45 and the rears are 18x8.5 +50. They are all 5x114.3 and use a 60.1 center bore. Now, I'm not sure if you're going to source out 4 front wheels, or 4 rear wheels, or just keep them staggered, but they are going to looked sucked in. If our cars were 5x114.3 pcd, then your rear wheels would hit the rear struts for sure. But since there's no way you're getting those wheels on without 5x100/5x114.3 adapters, the wheels will sit slightly further out.

It all depends on how thick of an adapter you plan on running, and how flush you want the wheels to be. Do you want your car lowered at all (I would recommend it). The thinnest adapter I've seen was about 1". So with the 1" adapters, you would be respectively running an offset of +20 front, and +25 rear. If you get adapters, I would recommend getting a hub-centric set made. 5x100 with a 54.1 center bore, to a 5x114.3/60.1 to fit the 2IS wheels. 12x1.5 threads for the studs.
