I am assuming the front rubs like crazy with a 245/35/20 tire. If it doesn't how did you do it and what is your offset on those wheels they look SIIICK.

thanks javier, sorry to hear about ur car...hope to see it when it gets finished from its long surgery

the front doesnt rub anymore, used a heat gun and pushed the plastic lining way back & did some serious cutting, rubbed like hell on saturday but got some serious work done on it today, when these tires wear out ima switch to 235/35/20 and hopefully lower it more....

Lexus IS model: 2007 IS350
Wheel Make & Model: Work XT-7 in MGS
Wheel Size (diameter and width): 18x8.5 F, 18x9.5 R
Wheel Offset Front: +38
Wheel Offset Rear: +38
Compatible with tire pressure sensors? Yes

Tire Make and Model: Sumitomo HTRZ III
Tire Size Front: 225/40/18
Tire Size Rear: 255/40/18

Suspension mods: none yet
Amount of drop: none yet, but it needs it

Comments: This wheel has been done before, but I'm a fan anyway. Front and rear are very flush, tires are a little stretched but I'll be moving up to 245/255 front, 275/285 rear once I smoke these. Obviously no rubbing without a drop....may change later.

Just put these discontinued Racing Hart C4-R with new tires on my IS350, here are a couple quick shots in front of the tire shop. I know my car is dirty and high off the ground, but my Tanabe Sustec Pro Five coilovers are on their way. I will have updated pictures by next week. These wheels have very conservative offset in the rear, probably need some spacers.... Also the rear tires came out a lot thinner than I thought they would be, gotta be really careful with potholes.
