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

If you have IS250 you don't need spacers.. it will clear the brake caliper..

but not for the 350

Can you use wax on the lips to protect it?

It's like waxing your paint to protect the surface.

Yes, some people use a wheelwax to give the lips a little bit of an extra shine and some added protection

However these are clear coated so it is not needed.

sorry for bumping an old thread, but what size tires are you running front and back? other than dips on the hwy at 75 mph, did you have any other rubbing issues?
