That's my feeling, I'm not one to use spacers. I do like the wheels.

Really like these wheels, but having to add spacers to the 350 is a dealbreaker for me.

That sounds too expensive. If you are shopping custom wheels it's a totally different price range.

Custom offset yes, but will that get you the brake clearance for the bigger-braked IS350, not sure about that............?

What's funny is that I'm guessing that your Japanese twin sold his car. :P

Sounds cool, it's more than offset change to make it fit I think, but very custom which sounds like the right way to go. Looking forward to the pics.

Do you know with the change in offset in the front how much it will affect the size of the lip?

Also, with the big contrast in offset from front to rear, did Wheeldude inform you as to if the front compared to the rears may look uneven? In other words, the front may be more flush with the fender, while the rear may stick in more, therefore look uneven??

Do you know if that will be the case? I'm very interested in these wheels without the spacers. Thanks

im pretty sure since its a one piece wheel lip sizes wont change, just where the wheel sits in the fender.

it doesn't change the lip size.... go pm himself... and to IS-SV this dynas.... just really needs spacers to clear... these are 1 piece wheels with 1 disk size... nothing else would make it fit other than good offsets... the 350 brakes are THICK.... even my XIX wheels need spacers to clear...
