I have an 08 is350 with the x package. I need to buy some winter wheels / tires. I want smaller/cheaper wheels for the winter, will 17" wheels fit on the is350 and clear the front brakes? If so does anyone know minimum camber for that to work out?

Yea your definitely going to have to roll and shave the fenders. Id say your prob going to have to do a little stretching on the tires and run a 215/30, 255/maybe 245 on the rear. Mv350 might be able to give u a little more info on ur setup, talk to him!

Hmm, I'm wondering if this would fit my 250 RWD. What major mods would i need to do?

Wheels would come from a G35.
20x9.5 +23
20x10.5 +23

Thanks for the input.

im thinking about getting 20" enkei ls-5 rims all black.20x8.5 front and 20x9.5 or 10 offset 40. the car is not lowered going to wait until after the rims are on to see how much room i have to work with if there is any. just want to double check make sure it will fit with out any rubbing.

With 20's its gonna look jacked up like a truck...Those sizes and offsets will be fine, your going to have to roll the rears though and lower it a good bit if you want a clean look with the 20's

What happens is...there is about a 1/4 " lip inside your rear fender, when you roll the fenders.....it pushes it flush with the fender...giving your tire more room to go up and down. Prevents that lip from hitting the tire if it wasnt rolled. Do a search, you will find all you need to know!
