Hence my comment about "apples to apples"

To me I still can't believe it, so I'll do some research, til then you're right (& maybe even after my research, you still might be right).

Honestly since the car will be so new there probably wont be many mods for it. The best mod out of the box would be tires. Im really hoping the car comes with some really good tires so I wont have to buy any. Im hoping for Hankook RS-3's, Dunlop Direzza's, Potenza RE070 or RE-11s.

Lexus is in contracted with Bridgestone tires, whats a good tires for Bridgestone?

I'm just happy if it will have a 5x114.3 lug pattern more selection a lot of lower offset wheels

My guess is that they'll go for 17's... I'd prefer 16's as they weigh less and are much cheaper to autocross and track.

Here's the more important question... What is the width of the wheel???Everything in the wheel well is designed around that. The wheel width will limit the size of the tire that you can fit in there.

I'd like to see standard car with 245/45/17 tires on a 17x8 inch rim and an optional track wheel setup with 275/40/17 tires on a 17x9 inch rim. Those tire sizes would be within 3/8s of an inch of the overall tire size on the concept's 19 inch rims.

We'll probably end up with a rubber band tire setup like 225s on a 17x7 or 18x7 inch rim. Let's hope they do this right. That and keep it light (<2600 lbs).

Bridgestone Potenza RE070 and RE-11 are great tires! I'd settle for RE050 too.

I hope its 5x114.3 too. I hope there arent members who want to look "hella flush" and cambered out to the max.
