Default Cant find pics of 19" Black MRR GT1 on an IS with eibachs....

I did a search and came up with 20 pages that came up with nothing for me. I guess you can't use 3 letter words. Doesn't anybody have any pics of the 19" black MRR GT1s on a lexus that has been lowered, preferrably with eibachs.

I am really curious to see how they sit in the wheel well with their offsets. I want a flush look.

That is close, thanks. His wheels are really sucked in though. They don't have enough offset. What are his offsets? do they make them with a more aggressive offset?

thanks again seize. I have seen those pics, but it is near impossible to tell how the offset looks because of the logo in the middle of the pics. I wish they had a zoom pics of the alignment of the tire compared to the fender.
Thanks though Seize.

I think if you order from MRR, they can make sure that your offset will be flush with the fenders. DCR did that for me.

Yeah you have to keep in mind though that these are $250 wheels. I am not sure they make custom offsets.

the front looks like it needs to come out about 3-4mm and the rear about 6-8mm.

I have never run spacers, but I have heard a lot of bad things about them. I am not sure if they are true or not, but I have heard from a lot of sources. If I had to run them I definately would not buy cheap ones, I would buy the best ones made. Does anybody have a site I look at that sells and explains the spacers they sell, I want good ones? Also if I do need spacers, which I am sure I will, How can I tell what size I am going to need?

hey comb,

those look great, but it looks like you can run them about 10mm further out. Am I correct, can you do that without problems? Do they make them with more offset to bring them out closer to the fender.
I will definately hit you up here in a couple weeks for that bid. Thanks bro for the help.

they would stick out at that point. You can't really get much more flush then http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...s/P1000665.jpg

You could use spacers, but then you need to make sure to get good quality ones.

Maybe it is just the camber that makes the top of them look tucked in. Thanks for the help.
