Do you find yourself with much more oversteer now you don't have staggered tires? I'd be concerned from the performance aspect of not having staggered tires.

I'd bet VDIM is working overtime trying to figure out what the heck happened.

Have you checked speedometer and odometer functions to see if they've been affected?

The Car has the Stock "Sport" Suspension. And yes the reused the Stock TPMS system of my 18's. I notice no differnece in handeling. I feel it actually handels better. There are no Speedometer or VDIM issues since the overall tire/rim combo is the same as the 18 wheel. Also the weight off the wheel is almost half of the 18 wheels. To my knowledge the Model 5's have been retired.

Yes they are BFG KDW2's. They ride real nice and good in the rain and fairly quiet.

Yes 19x8 both front and rear. Used Stock Sensors of 18. I ordered them several years ago and can't remember.

Money doesn't grow on tree's. The IS350 is a Luxry performance car. There is very little or no performance loss with Unstaggered. If I was worried about performance I'd drive the Type R i own!

Awesome wheels. I wish they made a split 7 spoke just like those so that I could compare side by side.

Are those any more prone to curb rash or other scrapes?
