Default Will the Volk LE37's on my SC300 fit on an IS350?

Hey guys,

I plan on selling my SC300 soon, and was wondering if my Volks would fit on an IS350. I think it may be a bit too aggressive, but I thought I'd check with you guys first.

Here are the specs:

19x8.5 +29 front (235-35-19)
19x9.5 +34 rear (275-30-19)

If necessary, I'll roll the fenders. Any comments/suggestions would be great. I plan on lowering it too- probably with a set of springs. Nothing too aggressive of a drop.

I'd love to install these bad boys on my future IS350, but just wana make sure it'll fit.

Btw, this is my first post in the IS section of ClubLexus

They'll fit for sure... PM'd!

You may need to run skinnier tires though.

225/265 should be good to go

awesome, thanks for the info.

Is anyone running these offsets on an IS here? I see a lot of guys have pretty conservative offsets.. mine would be considered pretty aggresive, eh?

It would but they will fit. There have been people who put these offsets on with no problem, but like cspec said, you will have to run narrower tires (especially up front) than other people do.

It'll definitely fit cause thats the size I WAS running. And I agree with cspec you should run a skinnier tire in the rear.

i had 235 on mine, and it rubbed my fender liner everytime i hit a dip

LIKE i said, if you aren't going to be lowered, dont worry about it, but if you are actually going to try to lower your car, you can't ride on 235/35/19's
