what do you guys recommend with the frnt and the rear, with +50 i fear it'll stick too far in.

also wat lug nuts would you recommend for is300 rims which are shank style

I would say at least 15mm spacers all the way around for a decent look.

As for lug nuts, the IS wheels require a shank style lug with a washer. I'd say use the lexus lugs but the maxima has a different thread pitch. The IS300 thread pitch is 12x1.5 and the maxima is 12x1.25. I would go to some local tire shops and see what they can get you. Maby try contacting these guys and see what they can get you.

i dont think i wanna spend 200 bucks on the H&R kit, what if i just go +5mm it'll make it close to oem, without the added expense.

can you link me to one you think will work best, and give me enough thread to get the lugs on properly

$40.00 plus shipping so probly $50.00 shipped.

Please look into other wheels, to be flush with the fenders you would need 25mm spacers for the front, and 40mm for the rear, screw that

For 4th gen that is, probably more for a 5th gen

Edit: BTW IIRC Toyota bore size is 60.1 vs. Nissan's 66.1. Pretty sure its the same for Lexus, search to make sure, but it looks like the decision was made before you could try

+30 or maby +35 offset should sit fairly flush. maby 35 for front and 30 for rear.

+1 on the find other wheels.

First off, why would get wheels that are +50?

I’d vote for 25mm In the rear and 20mm in front on those (+50/7.5 wide).

I would go more, but this would be perfectly acceptable...

150-200 dollars in spacers FTL...

Don't forget, the different widths will require different offsets, 8 inch wheels sit just about flush with the front with a +25 offset, and flush with a 10mm spacer in the rear, just use the offset calculators and use that as your base
