wheel and tire fitment
I have a 2002 is300. So far I have only had it painted and added 18x8 XXR 527's. I did not get the look I was going for so I have ordered K Sport Kontrol Pro coilovers. The first picture is from the day that Ibought the car and the second is how it currently sits. My plan is to run XXR 527 wheels again. I would like to run a 19x8.75 +38mm offset/ 6.37" backspace w/ 215/35/19 tires in the front and 19x9.75 +38mm offset/ 6.87" backspace w/ 235/35/19 tires in the rear. I plan on rolling and pulling the fenders but I am concerned about clearance issues in the inner fender well due to the increased backspacing. Will the above mentioned fit or is the backspacing too deep? Thank you for any help.

Well I didn't receive any replies so I did my best with the info that I could find. I ordered my coilovers, along with a blackout grill and bumper insert, smoke headlights, tail lights, fog lights, LED bulbs for the entire car inside and out, vizage eyelids, and 19x8.75" XXR 527s in black chromium w/ 215/35/19's for the front and 19x9.75" w/ 235/35/19's for the rear. Once everything arrives I will post progress pics as I am rolling and pulling the fenders and installing everything along w any issues that arise. Hopefully it all turns out well.
