I have an idea, it can work...

[Simmsled]

Not sure if this counts as a wheels/tires thread, a project thread, or something else...

The fitment is EXACTLY the size and offset that I would net if I were installing Style 313 wheels.
They are Lexus ISF wheels (19s).
(for reference they are directional, asymmetric, and staggered forged BBS wheels)

I love the look and am thinking about doing this for spring/summer.
*I would change the center caps*
Thoughts/comments please!

are ISF wheels 5x120 or 5x114? I don't think they are 5x120.

[Simmsled]

5x114.3
I would have Adaptec make a set of adapters for me. I have already calculated everything.
They do great work and I have used their adapters on track cars before with great results.

ISF wheels specs

IS-F Wheels:
* Size: 19 x 8 Front, 19 x 9 Rear inches
* Bolt Pattern: 5-114.3
* Offset: 45mm Fronts / 55mm Rears

How big of an adapter would you need? a 25mm?

[Simmsled]

15mm front and rear

I like the look a lot! some BBS caps would be perfect.

I've always wondered about the hub mounting nuts for the thinner type adapters. Do you loctite the nuts on? I've always thought they looked small

[Simmsled]

Thanks man!
The lug bolts to hub assembly get loctite and get torqued in the air with brakes held by my lovely assistant, wifey.
Then the wheels are connected with lug nuts to the adapter in the same way the wheels were connected to the ISF (Lexus lug nuts)
With a sound process, and the right tools, this is an engineered (hub centric) solution.

Really no different than the larger wheel spacers and plenty of people running those without problems. I've got 30mm's on the rear of the X5 and that thing weighs way more than a ZHP

[Simmsled]

These are the Style 313 wheels.
The fitment here is the EXACT fitment with only 1mm difference in the front.
I really like the 313 offset/fitment. Its one of the reasons I'm pursuing this option.
That and I already have them hanging in my garage. LOL

These are the spacers I have, the adapters he's talking about would look and work the same way.

Would look like this on the hub:

If you listen quietly, somewhere in the dark, you can hear the whisper of a bearing scream (due to load change in orientation).

I was thinking 15mm would be too shallow for standard lug bolts (i meant to say bolts not nuts above)

I was thinking flatt head bolts:

One thing to note is the sedan fitment is more shallow than the coupe. The coupe can get away with a lower offset wheel than the sedan can.

[Simmsled]

I knew this would turn into an adapter thread.
oh well...
Adaptec made these for me.
Had them on my Lexus for 50k miles and multiple winters with zero bearing issues.
Actually... zero issues altogether.

I will look for Style 313s on a sedan then, Derek.

Not in love with these pics, but this is proof of concept only.

And a Touring for good measure.

These are pretty good to get the "fitment" here...

Both the tourings look sexy with those wheels...idk how I feel about them on the sedan granted that color is awful. Style 313's > the Lexus wheels. They weigh any different than our hefty 135's?

[Simmsled]

They are 5 lbs lighter per wheel in front and 2 in the rear.
They are forged.
