Lexus IS model: IS350
Wheel Make & Model: Volk SF-Winnings
Wheel Size (diameter and width): 19x8.5 f 19x9.5 r
Wheel Offset Front: +48
Wheel Offset Rear: +42
Compatible with tire pressure sensors? Yes

Tire Make and Model: Nitto NT555
Tire Size Front: 235/35/19
Tire Size Rear: 275/30/19

Suspension mods: Eibach Pro-Kit
Amount of drop: 1.0 front .8 rear

I'm having rubbing issue up front with the fenderwall when i'm turning, but no rubbing in the rear when i'm by myself.. when there are passengers in the car, you can really hear the rubbing in the rear and up front..

didn't notice the rubbing on the rear until late tonight when people were in the car.. gets annoying.. i'm not sure if it's actually rubbing against the fenderwall or the springs are making the noise because there isn't the plastic around the coils.. gonna have the shop check them out for me tomorrow to get this issue fixed..

anyways.. onto the pics






will take some pics in the daytime when i get a chance..

Looks great!! One question - how did you get the TPMS to fit? I thought SF-winnings weren't compatible?

that's what i thought too.. the dealer helped me out, but no light on whatsoever.. they even suggested buying a dolly spare tire to put the sensors on, but once the car started, no light

So the tire pressure sensors are not on your wheels?

DT6287- Good choice of rims, keeps the elegant look. Are you thinking about lowering?

not sure if i'm gonna lower it yet, the tire combo i got on it now is tall in the rear and too wide in the front, if i had 235/35 in front it prob. wouldnt rub any, and would need to go w/ 275/30 in the rear if i lower the car

this is close up on the front

this is the rear, the wheels looks way better in person and the gaps dont look as big either... hope that helps out any

thx miamis250 the finish is (diamond cut) which is a polished machined look, think they also make hyperblack and chrome too... Hartawan ya they are 19x9.5, 275/35 i went bigger on the tires to fill in the gaps in some, but will probably go smaller on my next set of tires & possibly lower it too
