WedsSport TC105X 18x9.5 +39 Wheels for Lexus IS F
Understanding the TC105X specification
The wheel used on this Lexus IS F was the WedsSport TC105X, 18x9.5 +39, 5x114.3. In plain terms, 18 is the wheel diameter in inches, 9.5 is its width, +39 is the offset in millimetres and 5x114.3 is the stud pattern. Each number affects whether the wheel can be fitted safely and whether it will clear the suspension, guards and brakes.
Weds describes the TC105X as a motorsport-oriented design and highlights its hub-contact and rigidity engineering. Those manufacturer details explain the product direction, but they do not replace vehicle-specific fitment checks.
Checks before ordering
An IS F has substantial brake hardware, so caliper clearance should be confirmed with the exact wheel specification and face design. The centre bore and suitable hub rings, the wheel-nut seat type, load suitability and available thread engagement also matter. A 9.5-inch wheel with +39 offset changes the wheel position compared with narrower factory combinations, so inner and outer clearance must be inspected.
Tyre choice completes the package. On this car, the same wheel specification was combined with 245/40R18 Continental MC7 at the front and 275/35R18 at the rear. The suitability of those tyres depends on actual rim-width approval, clearance, vehicle condition and the intended road use.

Fitment verification matters
This is a real workshop example, not a universal fitment chart. Lexus IS F year, market specification, suspension, brake setup and previous modifications can affect suitability. Before ordering, confirm the tyre placard, wheel and tyre load suitability, speed rating, centre bore, wheel-nut seat, brake clearance, suspension clearance and guard clearance. A professional inspection is recommended.

FAQ
Is 18x9.5 +39 guaranteed to fit every Lexus IS F?
No. It is the confirmed specification on this photographed vehicle, but brake, suspension, guard, centre-bore and wheel-nut compatibility must be checked on each car.
Can front and rear tyres be rotated on this staggered setup?
Not front-to-rear because the sizes differ. Any side-to-side rotation depends on the tyre construction and wheel setup.
Why check alignment after fitting new wheels and tyres?
Alignment helps identify toe or camber conditions that can cause uneven wear, an off-centre steering wheel or unstable road behaviour. It does not repair worn or damaged suspension parts.
Are Continental MC7 claims independently tested here?
No. Product features cited in this article come from Continental Australia. Autosport Tyre World has not presented this workshop visit as an independent tyre test.
