Default Wheel sizing problem please help!!!!!!

I bought my 04 is300 in June and I can't find a company that makes deep dish wheels for the car. Axis makes 1-2" lips I want at least 2" in the front. What off set has someone used to get wheels with a nice lip to fit on the car? I'm looking to have the wheels to tuck under the fenders. I'm looking to do 19"s. I know people make them fit I see pics of the cars on line but no one ever responds when you ask them.



thanks, warren

if u dont want modded fenders and run a wider tire u need to compensate for that with the offsets...they will be +40-50

you bought the wrong car expecting to fit huge lips my friend. you will need to camber the HELL out fo your wheels, or you should look into adding a fender flare or doing a custom widebody.

even a 10 inch wheels with a +35(give or take) wont give you a HUGE lip. and you will need to roll and pull your stock fender

You can go with 18x8/9 staggered with a +20 offset. That will get you close to a 2" lip in the front. But will have rubbing issues. You will have to pull and roll your fenders to make them not rub. You will have to get -neg camber going, which will wear out the inside part of your tire. Oh dont forget to really stretch your tires.
