JLine 10RL2: Purchased for my S, but may fit IS.. hmm??
So I bought these with the intentions of putting them on my S2000. But i think i just found out the fitments may fit the IS350. What'd ya guys think? i haven't test fitted them on the IS, as im at my dorm right now.
the setup is 18x9fr/19x10rr. 225/40/18 and 245/40/18, respectively. stretched for the S. offsets are unknown because jlines are custom made...and the first owner wont reveal the setup to the second owner. but i would think they are above +50. i am actually the third owner of these now. i knew of the first owner, as he's a retired s2000 owner and now a 240sx chicago drifter. part of the risky devil crew in chitown.

UPDATE: Wheels on IS
Wheels are almost flush. needs spacers, but my bro said that spacers can damage the hub?
the tires had very low air, so it was flat when i put it on. its too cold to go fill the tires. ill take better pictures when i can actually put all the wheels on. plus, it definitely needs a drop. tires look too small in height.

it didnt come off of a drift car. its coming off of an s2000.
s2000s normally have to run a high offset, like above +45.
this is taken from the s2ki forum:
Based on successes and failures from many S2000 owners, we can use an offset calculator to figure out what other offsets and tires will work. These are minimum recommended offsets. You can use a higher offset if you want, and you will get additional fender clearance.
For the front:
205 tires: +43 offset minimum (6.5” to 7.5” wide wheel)
215 tires: +48 offset minimum (7.0” to 8.0” wide wheel)
225 tires: +53 offset minimum (7.0” to 8.0” wide wheel)
235 tires: +58 offset minimum (7.5” to 8.5” wide wheel)
245 tires: +63 offset minimum (7.5” to 8.5” wide wheel)
For the rear:
235 tires: +40 offset minimum (7.5” to 8.5” wide wheel)
245 tires: +45 offset minimum (7.5” to 9.0” wide wheel)
255 tires: +50 offset minimum (8.0” to 9.5” wide wheel)
265 tires: +55 offset minimum (8.5” to 9.5” wide wheel)
275 tires: +60 offset minimum (9.0” to 10.0” wide wheel)
285 tires: +65 offset minimum (9.0” to 10.0” wide wheel)
^^^^^and thats for putting on normal tires. not stretched. ^^^^^
so i must be around this area:
245 tires: +45 offset minimum (7.5” to 9.0” wide wheel)
255 tires: +50 offset minimum (8.0” to 9.5” wide wheel)

but these are 9/10 wide..so its necessary for the high offsets or else its going to hit the inside. and yea, i was thinking of spacers if its not going to be flush..

the rims will look sucked in with the offset. Its to conservative for the IS...
if you are 18x10 in the rear +38 is perfect. if you are 18x9 in the front +36 is perfect. This all depends on how much you lower the car?? If you put wider rims on the car and dont lower it will look funny IMO. The lower you go the more the rims with look sucked in. IMO slap spacers on the OEM rims and it will look better. You can do 20mm in the rear with OEM and 15mm on the fronts and be flush.
Its all up to you and the look you want. I would get rims that are the right offset if you go aftermarket so you dont have to use spacers.
