Local sale, dude only wants $100 for 'em, figured I'd ask y'all's input. Specs are:

Front: 18x8 45mm offset
Rear: 18x8.5 50mm offset

From what I gather, my 02 GLE's are 17x7, 40mm offset. And being that these are staggered, I'd want to run 5-10mm spacers on the rear, just to push the rim out a little. Rears on our cars tuck too much as it is, I'd be giving up 10mm by just bolting them on.

I'm not too keen on losing my rotatability, but the price for 18's is awful tempting. I'm gonna need tires soon, and I was holding out for a set of something with rubber on 'em, but I can get tires for next to nothing, so I guess I could be swayed either way. I was gonna mount 245/40's all the way around.

So those are my thoughts, what are y'all's? Anybody running 'em? Got pics?

Oh, random pic grabbed from interzweb:



Thanks,

get em and get spacers...less than $400 for a set of wheels..at worse you'll have a backup set.

I believe they'll bolt up, but aren't Lexus hubs too small? If so they'll have to be bore'd out.

Thanks Chris, I hadn't even thought of the hubs!

Well, I could toss a rock out my window and hit a really fine machine shop that could bore those out if need be.....

More input?

Just "confirmed" : did a quick search, Max hubs are 2.68", the avg. 07/08 IS350 is 2.44", so I'd have to machine .24 outta the hole.

Meh, more costs tacked on...hmm...

Lemme head over to the PS forum, see if someone wants to try and give me an idea what they'd look like on my car...
