i currently have 20x8.5 rims on the rear of my is250. if i were to go staggard, would the 20x10 fit without rubbing since i have lowered the car with f-sport springs? i am about to purchase some tsw snettertons and need to know if this will work! please help.

You probably know but since you have AWD, you can't go staggered. If you do, then the rolling diameter or whatever it's called has to be the same as the front. But on RWD models, 10" will fit depending on the offset.

Yes you can run staggered rims on AWD You just need to keep the rooling diameter the same.

and need more info on that rim, what is the offset. There is plenty of info in the 2gen IS section including info from my past car. I would check there and I bet you will find your rims on another members car

im not sure on the snetterton by tsw, i wanted to do a staggard setup, should i do 19 inch or stay with 20 inch. if i did 20's i could use the same front tires. if i went 19 i would need all new tires and i still need to know what sizes to get, can anyone please help! i was also considering the lexani lss-10 in a chrome lip with silver spokes. any help on sizes to get will be greatly appreciated. i currently have 20x8.5 all around with 235/35/20 tires.

linus73

here is the lexani wheels i want to get, or shall i say i am going to get! I NEED YOUR GUYS HELP DECIDING! should i get the staggard set or just the 20x8.5, second of all should i get them finished in all black and machined face or machined face with stainless steel chrome lip? keep in mind i have a chrome grille on the car and want to keep things in the chrome and black theme?
which ones and staggard or just all same 20x8.5, the 8.5 will hve a 2 to 2.5 inch lip here is a pic of my car
with my current rims, and pics of the new rims. thanks!

go staggered....dont go square because your awd. 20" rims are "too" big for the IS but thats my opinion. I had 19" rims on mine. I suggest brushed over chrome but I hate chrome. The murdered out look on the IS looks very nice if played out right. If you do that then black out the window trim also.

So what options do they have to fit your car?? I would go 19x9 up front and 19x10 in the rear. 19x10.5 is the most I would push in the rear. Also are you looking to stretch tires or have a more square tire (more tire and protection).

I can help you out but need to know what your looking for.

Can you get them in custom offests or is it just what they offer off the shelf??

linus73

so you suggust 19 inch, which is cool with me. im just looking for something new! staggard is fine and im not sure what offsets they offer. i really want something with a nice 3inch lip that is chrome! and a black or silver spoke, even machined.i also want more tire protection. if you find me some pics of similar rims above or similar to the tsw snettertons then shoot me a pic and recomended sizes, i know its alot of work but ill make it up to you/ does fizz sell rims?

linus73

i want some rims that when people see them they will say " DAMN THOSE RIMS MAKE THAT CAR! " and i want them with a mean lip! shoot me some pics of suggustions please, i dont want to buy some rims and hate them later! so some professional opinions from "IS" owners would help, whther you owned one or have one

I would suggest 19's too but between your options, I'd stay with what you have. Not liking the ones you posted. If you get 19's staggered, the common sizes are 235/35/19 front with a 8.5 inch wheel and 265/30/19 with a 9.5 or 10 inch rear wheel. I don't know it those common sizes would work since you have to find very close rolling diameters. And if you're talking about Fizz, they do sell wheels but I don't know what selection they got. When I went, they sold expensive wheels like Wedsports, Work, and those. More like racing type wheels.

If I ever save up the money for wheels, my options would be Forgestar F14's in black or gold or Work VS-XX is gold.

There are soo many great choices. Have you considered Vossen? They helped sponsor our local meet and have some really nice rims to choose from

I would highly suggest to take the time to read the Wheel Thread in the 2gen ISx50 section and gather what you like and don't. I wish it was just as easy to say go get this...Do you want to shave/roll fenders? Do you want the most out of the rim and stretch the F out of the tires?
