Is300 17" Wheels For My Sc300

[JDOwen2]

I just picked up a set of alloy 17"wheels taken off of a new IS300.

They were on Ebay for $539.00 from Victoria Tire in California. I had 4 Mohawk Predator 245/45/17 tires mounted and balanced and then shipped. Ordered on Tuesaday and received on Friday. I would highly recommend them. Total with shipping was under $1000.00.

Curt, just in case he doesn't see your post, I'll answer your question. According to the info sheet that the dealer printed out for me, all of the 17" IS wheels are 7" wide with a 50mm offset. The only exception to this, the optional rear-only 7 1/2" wide wheel on the hatchback (whatever they call it) version of the IS300. 99.9% of the 17" IS wheels you'll come across will be 7" wide. As to why he put 245mm tire on a 7" rim, only he can answer that one.

FWIW, there are GS400 17's that are 8" wide, also with a 50mm offset, IIRC.
