I understand these would fit straight onto my Mk2 tubby?
if so ... where would I get Toyota Centre caps to replace either missing or Lexus ones?
Also .. what would be the recommened tyre combination?
cheers

Re: Lexus IS200 Alloys
Yes they should fit straight on.I would imagine any reputable alloy wheel company will get the you the centre badges,usually they are £8-£10 for a set of four.As for tyre combos assuming the Lexus wheels are 17" i would go for 235/40/17 on the rear and 215/40/17 on the front.That seems to be the set-up alot of the guys on here run.

lexus is200 has 215 as standard on those rims, So wouldnt 235 be a bit too big for the rim?
the centre cap has a funny shape and you cant buy them with toyota logo on it from toyota.
the rear wheels sit slightly too in the wheel arches, i have fitted 5mm spacers,
front tyre needs to be 40profile as 45profile will rub against the suspenson
i got 205 front and 225 rear the ride is a bit bumpy,

a better standard wheel is the Mazda 6 17" Sport. u will need to reduce the bore size with those plastic clip things and spacers are required. Mazda do a couple of wheels but the better one is from the sport model.
these go well with the lines of the 2 and probably be cheaper than the Is200 ones.
just my 2ps worth.... the lexus ones are nice.... just not as good as these!

Re: Lexus IS200 Alloys
as REDMR2 said, i had the lexus wheels on my car a while back. they look ok. i had 205/40's on the front and 215/40's on the back but i think 215's on the front and 235's on the back would have gone on.

Agreed, Think they'd look very nice on the mk2, What are the width & offset though, I also like the 5 spokes off the Mazda3 Sport and we had some in work not too long ago but they were 6.5x17 and i think they were et48
