Almost Completed the Looks on my IS250
Most of you guys would know what modifications I have done to the exterior; therefore I will not make a list of it. I understand how frustrating it is to go through hours or even days of search about wheel specifications and not find the right size and offset. I will make it easier for you simply by telling you my wheels specifications and height of my car to achieve this aggressive look.
Wheels specifications
Algernon 2pcs forged wheels (Made in Japan)
Front 19x8.5 33 offset (28 offset with spacers)
Rear 19.9.5 38 offset (28 offset with spacers)
Front 5mm spacers
Rear 10mm spacers
Tires
Toyo T1R
Front 235/35/19
Rear 275/35/19
The ride is lowered with Tein CS. Both front and rear coilovers is lowered all the way and would require you to stiffen the damper rating all the way to minimize rubbing. You will only get 3.8 inch clearance in the front. To make this possible I had to do some major fender work, which means tearing, cutting, edging, and hammering. The process of completing this job wasn't pleasant but guys at STATUS auto design did a really good job.
As for the engine modifications, I have the K&N intake and AF HKS exhaust. I'd be lucky to get 10rwhp with both mods so my IS250 is definitely not for racing but looks.
I have very little to none about taking pictures, but I believe that these pictures will give you an idea on what it will look like having the same mods I have on your car.
For you viewers that is interested in the fabulous kit. I have the fabulous rear lip kit for sale. It has been painted crystal white and the kit comes complete with the bolts, tape and manual. I'm asking $300.00 shipped to any where in the U.S.. I'm seling it because I didn't want something to block the exhaust from the side view. I have to admit that it looks really clean with the complete kit on but I still want the aggressive look from standing out the exhaust. The last 2 pictures shows the kit.
Thank you for checking it out and Enjoy!!

You my friend have one or if not the best looking white ISx50 I have seen. You have done an awesome job and pulled off the gold rims very well. Congrats on all your mods. The ride looks sweet.

Sweet looking ride! Love your car.
Why couldnt you just buy your rims 28 offsets? Do the spacers go between the rim and the caliper? I never had to work with spacers before, dont know if I would want too.
