Hey MV350:

First of all, great job / great support you are offering to the CL forums !

I got a wheel spec, wondering if you have seen it done on IS350 yet.

It's 20x9.5 +15 / 20x11.0 +5.

I have done 9.5 +15 in the front, but never done it in 20".

And also I have done 10.5 +15 in the rear, but never done it in 11.0 +5.

What do you think ? Going to attempt this on a new IS350.

it will fit nicely with an 1" in the rear with a 265/30. you would also have to shave the rear bumper tab and move the bolt back about 3/4". As for the front im not aware of any changes with the fender/bumper tab. If it is the same your going to have to cut and relocate it further inward towards the headlight. the front will require ~12mm of pull to fit with a 225/35.
front camber~ -3* rear ~ -5* toe set at neutral. it will give you the most balance clearance around the entire fender, and save the tires.

hope it works out. i will have to say as a warning(i doubt youll have this problem) but if you are not good with a heat gun as not to burn your paint, and not the best with a roller i would not try to pull that much. i bet your guys know some one that is extremely good at this. the outcome of not knowing what your doing will fold the fenders and require paint. no matter what dont shave the front, just roll it all flat and pull to fit the wheels it will fit. if there is a will there is a way. same way i fit 18x12+4 static on my 2gs.

I've got 19x9.5 +30, 19x10.5 +35 wheels. Looking for tires.. what should I be running? Lowered on H&R springs on IS350. What kind of fender work am I looking at? Will it need anything else? Thanks ahead of time!

you should not have clearance issues, but that's starting to get close to needing fender modifications.

235/35-19 + 265/35-19.

i think i have found the wheels i want!!!!!!


question is how flush would these wheels be?

i have two options for front
19X8.5 5-114.3 30MGL
19X8.5 5-114.3 40MGL

and rear would be
19X9.5 5-114.3 25MGL

what do you guys think?

what tires should i run in front?

i plan on running 275-30-19 on rear, would that work?

i would run 19x8.5+30 with a 225/35 and the 19x9.5+25. just shave the fenders or roll them completely flat. the fronts roll flat. no need for a pull. just dont shave the fronts

would i need to do that even before i drop the car or it would have to done at its current stock setup?

Mv350

iTrader: (23)

+1 on what Mv350 suggested. so to repeat...

19x8.5 +30 and 19x9.5 +25.

roll the fenders, but no pull. depending on how low your ride height will be, you'll need to relocate/remove fender/bumper bolts and tabs - all four corners.

225/35-19 + 245/35-19 should clear the fenders.

i get the 225 in front... but i would need to run 245/35 in the rear? i want to run 275/30, would that not work?

Mv350

yes but you need to shave or roll with a 275/30 which is what i wrote. he said 245/35 because you dont want to mod your fenders.

275/30-19 will not work for those wheel specs (19x9.5 +25) w/out a pull. the sidewalls will be very upright for a 9.5"-wide wheel. depending on your 2is' ride height and fender modifications, you may not have the necessary clearance.

i actually said 245/35-19 because i've been there (245/35-19 on 19x9.5 +22and 19x9.5 +29).

he can try 255/35-19, but that'll need fender mods, definitely.

btw, i thought you knew.
