ya I went 19x8.5 with 235/35/19's all the way around. Did my homework and after hearing both sides of the "I've installed staggered on tons of AWD's and it's fine" from the wheel dealers compared to "if Lexus thought it was a good idea for an AWD they'd do it" from Lexus and decided to trust what the dealership and ppl that seemed to care about their cars from this forum had to say more.

Trust me, it is wasn't AWD those baby's would be staggered though

I still need to get some side shot pics but it's been raining off and on so I need to clean it up and wait for a nice day.

Wonderful looking wheels and car.

Guess you're not going with smaller snow tires/wheels for the winter.

Coilovers for the win. Drop it when its hot, and raise it when its cold.

Love those rims! I've seen the non-chrome versions and they are just as sweet!

I remember the days when my black IS used to look like that but since it hasnt stopped raining in two weeks, there's nothing I can do about it.
