wsup everyone. so right now im riding on IS300 rims with 215-45-17 tires. I wanted to get new set of tires, but i have no knowledge of them. I remember on my last post someone saying to get 225-50-17. Will these fit my rims and cause no trouble, such as rubbing ? THANKS ! if i cant get these, i would have to get 215-50-17.

Extra question, hehe how do you change the center caps ? i still have the lexus caps on...

i don't know about the tires, but for the centercaps you just push them out, they should just popout with a bit of force (not a lot). Then you can replace them with Toyota or whichever caps you have.

215/50R17 is the largest tire size you can get with those rims without rubbing.

GS300 rims have a lower offset than IS300 rims as far as I know.

sorry for the thread jack. but its on topic kind of. i had a seller on ebay say he didnt want to sell me some is350 rims because he said they wouldnt fit my car. they were oem replicas. whats up with that? gen 5.5 btw.

I'm at work right now, and one of my boys is selling some run flats. that are for 17in rims. 225/50/17..I think. 200 for the set.
