Ryan'sIS250 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I just recently bought an IS250. The car looks great, but I am curious to know if anyone has tried to put the rear wheels on the front. I am thinking about buying two more rear wheels and tires to put on the front. Has anyone attempted this??? I'm curious to know if you will have enough clearance under the front wheelwell. Thanks!!!

Ryan When I got my 250 the dealer informed me that the rear tires are slightly bigger than the front tires so you can't put them on the front wheels. This may or may not be true, definitely check with your dealer before attempting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only model in the second generation IS to have the same widths all round is the AWD. I have non OEM 8.5" on the front but 9.5" on the rear. Fitting the 8.5" on the front will depend on tyre size as the rubber does get pretty close to the plastic liner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViR2 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 they should fit rears are 245 and fronts 225, so they fit in nicely in front ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
