    I've found a Lexus es350 wheel that is 5 x 114.3 and has a 35mm offset and is 18x8. it's under 19lbs.
    Shouldn't I be able to run those?

    TIA

    You need to verify the center bore is large enough.

    Thank you guys.

    I'm not sure what offset to run. My current wheels are 18x8 and have a 42 offset. I like the way they look.
    I can find a couple of ford wheels i like but the offsets are all over the place.

    Mine have the same specs, weight is 21.75 lbs each. Wish they were lighter, stock torque stars are only 16 lbs.

    Not a bad wheel. I'm looking for an 18x8 that is 19# or under and bright.

    I've found a couple of light 18X8 wheels for Mustangs. I'm running 235x50x18. What offset would look best?
