skyxliner · 11-02-2008, 04:52 PM

So i've been waiting for my stock tires to run thin before i buy new tires for my new rims.

can someone help me photoshop these lexus gs400 chrome rims on a silver camry?

also what tire size do I need to fit? the previous owner had 235 45 17 on his lexus gs400. i'm most likely not going to lower it YET =P

I would stay with the same size as our SE rims 215-55-17.

to much tire on the sidewall.. get 235/50/17 that would make the fender gap closer to the tire..

That doesn't make sense. How can 235-50-17 would make the fender gap closer to the tire??? If anything it would make the fender gap bigger because the overall diameter is smaller than 215-55-17.

215-55-17=26.31 overall diameter.
235-50-17=26.25

thanks for the advice lammi,

two rims need rechroming though =/

hopefully the chrome won't stick out too much from the silver haha.

Anytime buddy.
Also, what is the specs on those rims? I know they are 17x? +?? offset.
I'm guessing they are 17x7 +45 offset.
If that the case your rims will be a little tuck-in compare to the GS being 18x8 +45 offset. They will still look good though.

sorry totally should of mentioned this in the first thread.

the rims are 17x8 ; not sure about offset - 5x4.5" lug diameter

i'm still learning about all the offset deal.

would you still recommend 215-55-17?

17 X 8,17x

You'll be fine. 215-55-17 will be a very little nice stretch on the 8" width rims.
I think your offset is +45 being it's a Lexus rims.
