Damn that thing is ready for some offroading! I never realized the AWD's were THAT high off the ground. Looks like it's on a jack in the rear still! Slam that *****!

Looks Great! My ISF wheels been sitting in my room for the past 2 months =(. Lucky you get to throw them on right when you got them. I'm still shopping for tires.

Yep, they look good, and it looks like you mounted them correctly. The ISF wheels are corner specific. You put them all in the right place

I usually don't recommend lowering a car, but in your case with an AWD, it's something I would do.

No problem with the AWD? What's the specs for those ISF wheels, offsets, width, tires used, etc...?

Nope, no issues with AWD or anything, I have been cruising around just fine. The rolling diameter is just about the same front and rear. Only issue was that my local tire joint didnt have the setup for getting the new TPMS sensors up and running so I have an appt. at Lexus next week for that.

Wheels are Stock IS-F rims 19x8 fronts and 19x9rear with Michelin PS2 tires. I have to look at the tire sizes and not sure what the offsets are. Prob 44 of 45. They are not real aggressive, I may try a 10mm spacer at some point to see if I like that better, But they look nice as is.. My calipers look like *** though so they will get painted black when the weather here in PA is warmer!

the wheels were one of the main factors in my choosing the F. but they look equally nice on a 2IS. great shots man! the gunmetal matches well with SGM.
