Hi I'm a noob here. I'm going to be getting a 350C soon and am going to get the F Sport springs and shocks which should drop it 1" all the way around. I don't want to roll my fenders or do any mods like that. I was wondering what is the biggest wheel size I can go with. I'm thinking 19x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 in the rear. I want it to be tucked and look really good without rubbing. Just hoping someone with this setup can help me through this process. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Default Lexus 19-inch Full-Face Forged Alloys

Hello all. I have an IS350 w/ F-Sport package, and am absolutely in love with the original Lexus
"19-inch Full-Face Forged Alloys" rims. My car came with 18-inch rims to begin with. Any suggestions/recommendations/do's or don'ts? It's my first time getting rims (never had a nice car worth getting rims for in the past). Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

By the way, I saw a LOT of nice Lexus IS on this thread! Good job everyone!

Note: The rims on the blue IS is what my car currently has installed.

Not much input is required.....They look great, are designed to work with your car. The only thing I object to is the price of them if you pay retail. Please take pics once you install them as this combo is what I am looking to do when I trade my acura in next year to return to the lexus family.

Authorize. Their very nice wheels and will look great in your car. I've seen them on a few IS-C in my area. I considered getting them to but for the price I said I would rather buy some aftermarket wheels. Another member just got these wheels for Xmas and posted pics.

Seems like getting 19 x 10 R and 19 x 8.5 F actually makes the car look raised. I've had my eyes on rims with the following specs:


Wheel Diameter (Inches) - 19" x 8.5F, 19" x 10R
Offset - +30F, +38Rmm

If I get rims like this without dropping, will my car look weird and raised? Thanks!

^^^^ yes if you don't want a huge drop maybe consider F-Sport or H&R springs.
