Kansei Tandems 17x9.5 +12 specs

The wheels are 17-inch in diameter and 9.5 inches wide with a +12 offset.

A +12 offset on a 9.5-inch wide wheel puts the wheel face in a very aggressive position at or past the fender. Lower offset moves the wheel outward; higher offset tucks it in.

Kansei Tandems 17x9.5 +12 on a Lexus IS250 is a common IS250 question, and this page shows exactly how it sits, how it clears, and what the owner changed to make it work.

205/40R17 tires on 17x9.5 wheels

The tire size is 205/40R17: a 205 mm section width with a 40 aspect ratio on the 17-inch wheel, which gives a stretched fit (the tire is narrower than the wheel, which pulls the sidewall in and helps clear the fender).

The owner chose Nexen Aria AH7. We stock Crosswind ALL-SEASON 205/40R17 - 888330000590 at $65 each in this size, and other 205/40R17 tires through the 205/40R17 tire search.

Suspension, stance and clearance

The car is lowered on Bc br series coilovers, which lets the owner dial in ride height and camber to clear 17x9.5 +12 and get the flush look.

No rubbing at all, front or rear, 5mm spacers, metal fender trimming. Rolling or pulling the fender is what most owners do once the wheel sits this close; it keeps the tire from catching the lip over bumps.

Stance: flush. The wheel face lines up with the fender. Flush fitment on a Lexus IS250 comes down to the offset and width above; copy them and you get the same result.
