2001 Lexus IS300

2001 Lexus IS300 wheel fitment at a glance

This 2001 Lexus IS300 is running BBS LM, staggered: 17x12.5 -4 up front and 17x12.5 -22 in the rear, wrapped in 255/40R17 BF Goodrich Commercial T/A All Season 2 tires.

It sits on Tein coilovers with a flush stance, meaning the wheel face lines up with the fender.

If you are searching for Lexus IS300 wheel fitment, BBS LM on a Lexus IS300, 17x12.5 -4 wheels on a IS300, or what tire size goes with that setup, this build is a real-world answer, photographed and measured by the owner.

BBS LM 17x12.5 -4 specs (staggered)

The wheels are 17-inch in diameter and 12.5 inches wide with a -4 offset up front, and 17-inch by 12.5 inches at -22 in the rear, in the 5x130 bolt pattern the Lexus IS300 uses.

A -4 offset on a 12.5-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. The rear -22 offset on the 12.5-inch wheel pushes the rear out further for the staggered look.

BBS LM 17x12.5 -4 on a Lexus IS300 is a common IS300 question, and this page shows exactly how it sits, how it clears, and what the owner changed to make it work.

255/40R17 tires on 17x12.5 wheels

The tire size is 255/40R17: a 255 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 BF Goodrich Commercial T/A All Season 2. We stock Falken Azenis FK460 A/S 255/40ZR17 98Y - 28105136 at $188 each in this size, and other 255/40R17 tires through the 255/40R17 tire search.

Searching for 255/40R17 tires on a Lexus IS300, or the right tire size for 17x12.5 -4 wheels? This is one owner's proven combination, and every wheel and tire package we sell ships mounted, balanced and ready to bolt on.

Suspension, stance and clearance

The car is lowered on Tein coilovers, which lets the owner dial in ride height and camber to clear 17x12.5 -4 and get the flush look.

Some rubbing, no spacers, overfenders or a widebody. 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 IS300 comes down to the offset and width above; copy them and you get the same result.
