Default IS-F rims + spacers?

I just wanted to know this in case the opportunity ever pops up. currently im running 10/20mm spacers on my stock rims, would that still work with the IS-F rims? or do i gota take off my spacers to get them to fit . (drop on eibach btw )

Well I can tell you they will not fit on the front of an IS350...

Hmm, but they just might fit with a spacer, which should allow caliper clearance it needs.


I can tell you they fit on an OEM IS250, but there was some light fender liner rubbing up front.. mainly because a 225/40/19 is too tall of a tire..

It just might work on your car, but you are dropped and with spacers, so a smaller tire for sure, just might be required.

hummm...i could always run a VIP stretch on the is-f rims :P and they should fit ok? my main concern is wither the 20mm in the rear is too much, because if i were able to find IS-F rims, i still want the fender flush look.

well i dont think their extremely nice, but if u can remember my story from awhile back. i have a set of work euroline xr's but my mom wont let me put them on my car because she thinks any after market rims r dangerous. so i figure IS-F rims dont look worst than stock, and i really wanted to get BBK's on so =/

haha same situation with me. The parents dont like aftermarket, but are fine with OEM. I want to get the BBKs but i want to go aftermarket for the wheels too.


...but im broke so i can at least dream

I agree 100%, if i wanted a sport full face rim, thats the one for me, black fs-01's on my white car would look so nice.
