Bought a set of NAD4's off of Lexo350 and set them up on my IS350.
Wheels - NAD 4
Front - 8.5" +35 (and 3mm spacer)
Rear - 10" +42
Tires - Vredestien Ultrac Sassanta
Front - 235/35/19
Rear - 265/30/19
TPMS - Compatible
Suspension - Tein SS Coilovers w/ EDFC
I'm playing with the ride height this week to get it to STOP rubbing. I had my suspension nearly slammed with 18's and just swapped out for the 19's. The pictures below is with the front nearly slammed (prob 1/4" from the bottom of the coilover threads). I took it up about 1/2" in the front tonight and heat gunned the plastic on the inside fenders, the ride is 1000 times better but it still rubs under tight turns and in the rears occasionally too. I've been looking for a good HOW-TO forum for heat gunning the plastic wheel wells...any suggestions????
Also, I'm not happy with the 3mm spacer i'm using. Its not a hub-centric spacer so I have to use a hub-centric ring and the spacer together and I just feel like this is the wrong way of doing it. Does anyone have a link to buy a "3mm hub-centric spacer"?
Well, without further adieu, here are some pics! sorry for the quality, i'm getting exhaust in the next week and plan on doing a better photoshoot....stay tuned

In my opinion I think they look clean on his car special his car being silver..... Oh wait those used to be my wheels so I guess that makes me kind of biased... but aren't your wheels the same style, I mean maybe its a different color and wayyyyyy more expensive but if you and jhonnyboy like the Enkei's then why don't you guys buy them off of him as soon as he puts it on classified and slap it on your ride. and I'm not knokin either of your cars, I think they look awsome but come on his car looks way better with those NAD's than with the enkei's. I bet if they were VS-XX you guys would pick those over the enkei's. so in turn I guess it all comes down to name brand.

235/35 would definitely makes the rubbing worst....the sidewalls are taller and therefore the diameter increase as well...
