So I was driving down my block yesterday I saw this Lexus IS300 with theese rims that I absolutelly fell in love with. So I did some research, the rims are from a 2006-2009 Lexus Is, and the dimensions are 18x8 with a 45mm offset. I know our cars come with 15x7 but I was wondering if becuase the rim will sit higher, will the extra inch on the width cause a problem? Would I possibly need to use spacers? If any one has rims that are the same dimensions as theese lemme know how they fit, Im driving 96' Vert at the moment. Thanks guys preciate tha help

You're gonna need pretty big spacers to make them look not sunken in. 45mm offset isn't that great of an offset for our cars. It makes the wheels look extremely sunken in, my wheels are 45mm offset. My advice would be to not get them and spend your money on wheels with a better offset. But if you reeeeaaaaaallllllly love em, well then go ahead
