Default OEM lexus wheels on the R

Searched but either failed or truely found nothing...

So this may sound retarted, but I'm shopping around on a budget to get some 16X7 rims for the R.
I came across a local guy selling 2004 Lexus GS300 rims for $200.
I read the specs online an they seem to be 5X114.3, 16X7.5, and +50 offset.

Should I go for it? or just F it and they would look like crap anyway...

Idealy a 16x7.5" wheel should be around a +40 to +44 offset. Not sure if you'll have any rubbing issues on the inside with a +50, but you might.

Also, check the hub center size. It may be too large or too small for an ITR. Too small and you're getting it bored at a machine shop. Too large and you'll need to find some hubcentric rings that'll actually work. Some folks run too large without any rings, but to be honest it always made me wonder just how safe that was.

Thanks for the info.
I'll check on the hub size and see if he has the lugs...

Why would you need to use Toyota lug nuts?

All recent Lexus cars use a 60 mm center bore, which is smaller than the ITR's 64 mm.

you wouldn't necessarily have to run toyota lugnuts, but lugnuts that have a shank.



the design of toyota's wheels requires the lugnut shank to fit inside the lug hole, if not the wheels have been known to come loose.

Why would you put those wheels on it. I rather roll on a set of RSX or even prelude before I do that.

if i was the OP i would rather just keep the stock R wheels and save up for a nicer set rather than putting stock honda wheels from different models on, and especially not from other car manufacturers but that's just me.

I like the look of 4 front S2000 wheels. I think that is a cheap way to go 16" and look good.
