mine is normal...

I think since my tires have a small stretch it look higher then it really is.



I'll probably get some spacers in spring to fill it out more.

Venzon,
You have renewed my trust in Fs. I was worried my new wheels would not look good.

Thanks

Incorrect, the 19" wheels are 8" F and 9" rear. As I've said earlier, offset is +40 for front and rear. You can verify this info at fsport.com.

Quick Question, since this has been kinda asked.

plan on getting rims very soon, will be on F-sport drop and i'm AWD.
rims will be
19X8.5 +35 front
19x9.5 +45 rear

tires will be
235/35/19
275/30/19

will i rub or will i be ok?, the reason for the tire sizes is so i have a .1% rolling difference in diameter since i want to match the front and backs. Thank you!

Tires sizes are good, no rubbing in back and only very minor rubbing in front liners when making U-turns. I have MRR wheels in same sizes and offsets on my IS350.

Eibach 350's accomplish the same thing as F-Sport springs. If you have a good experienced local shop you can save a lot of money on the installation and alignment compared to dealer prices too.

Thumbs down

F-Sport Springs =

IMO, don't bother with the fsport springs. Because of the progressive spring rate you'll hear a LOT of thumping even with silencers on. On small and mild bumps my car feels like the suspension is going to fall apart because of the constant coil slap. I'm very concerened that the coil slap is causing damage, though I really don't know. The ride quality is not very similar to stock as others mention. I have the fsport 19" on 265/30, but I doubt that much of a contributing factor to the ride quality deterioration. Honest, go with other springs (H&R) or coilovers, don't go with fsport springs. I very much regret it. I'm thinking of going back to stock, but unfortunately i already gave my stockers 18s to my brother. I'm guessing ISP's and selling my fsport rims when my tires wear out, unless I want to buy a set of coilovers, which is always an option.

Moral of the story, fsport springs are a waste of money.
