sure... how have you been?

GSIS.. most likely you will encounter rubbing issues with the front fenderwall against the plastic.. the rear depends on the offset you're running and how wide the tires are gonna be..

Thanks for all the feedback guys...I guess it is just plain safer going with 19s. Just hope since i don't lower my car the gap won't drive me nuts...

Lexus IS model: 250 RWD
Wheel Make & Model: RO_JA Formula 5's
Wheel Size (diameter and width): 18x8(FR), 18X9(RR)
Wheel Offset Front: +40
Wheel Offset Rear: +40

Tire Make and Model: Dunlop Direzza DZ101
Tire Size Front: 225/40/18
Tire Size Rear: 245/40/18

Suspension mods: Tanabe DF210 (GS Springs) [Cut 1 1/2 coils in the front for an even drop, no rubbing issues, no bouncing, a little stiffer but still comfortable]
Amount of drop: approx. 2.25" in the front, 2" in the rear

Note: This is my girlfriend's car, I did this as a Valentine's Day Gift for her (Wheels, Tires, Springs). We got the 18" wheels instead of the 19"s for a more comfortable ride. These wheels are way lighter than the stock IS wheels as well. Overall, I think it's a pretty good set up for my gf. It's getting an alignment done at West End next week also. Feedback is welcomed !
