Here are some pics of my IS350 on 20 inch VOLK GT-7s w/ 13% tint
Fronts are 20x8.5 +44 w/ 245/30/20 tires
Rears are 20x9.5 +37 w/ 275/30/20 tires
Now i just need a big brake kit and some coilovers to lower it.

Do you sure u didn't have the offset mix up for the front and back? Can you take some close up and flush the rims and fender picture to see if stick out or not

hey cars lookin nice! if you got 4500 to drop on a 30k car for wheels more power to ya, looks sweet, but i never understood how people buy old cars worth 6-8k and spend so much on wheels like HRE's. anyways it aint too bad without the drop but once you get them coilovers its a wrap!

The factory offset is +50mm with 255 tire size, the aftermarket with 275 tire size with a liltle +37mm offset with my quick calculation it'll stick out 23mm compare to stock ( 13mm going from +50 to +37 offset, plus another 10mm going from 255 tire size to 275). As if he will drop the car, it will rough the outside fender. But then fender trimming will solve that problem.

$4500 is too much for me... That's more than half a year of my lease payments. But, that combo of wheels, paint, and tint is awesome. Spokes match well with the paint job, and center cap and outside rim look great with the front grill frame and lights. One of the best IS's I've seen!

I think you could have asked for some off the price of the wheels and tires. I bought 19" VOLKS for my G35 few years back for 3100 w/ tires. And I think 1700 for Pirellis is kinda expensive.

You know... one of my beefs abotu wheels threads is that people NEVER take a good picture from say 25 feet back so we can see how the "fatties" look from the rear. Thats like one of the most important views!
