New Lexus IS wheels

legendtype2 · 08-17-07, 05:54 PM

I've seen them on older IS300's and they look good and they're 18''. Plus offset is perfect for legends at +45... has anyone tried them to fit?

The Lexus has a 60 mm center bore and the Acura is a 70 so you would need a 10 mm centering ring if you can find one. Width and offset look good at 17 x 7 with a 45 mm offset.

Or you could just have them bored out to 70.1

center rings = removable

bored out = undoable

Center rings > boring out

undoable?

What are you talking about?

The wheels will have to be bored out. A center ring is NOT going to work in this situation. a center ring only works when the wheels bore is substantially bigger than the car's hub diameter.

In this case the car's hub diameter is larger than the wheels bore. Matter of factly, this is the case with just about every factory wheel when being fitted to the Legend. It will need to be bored out. Every TL wheel you see fitted on the Legend has been bored out. from 60/64 to 70.1-2

Yup those 18's... saw them on IS300's and we know ones from IS300s fit our legends so those New IS wheels must fit with slight modification
