I've never heard of Yokohama Edition 2IS, what's different about it besides some vinyl? The silver looks good, and drop looks to be Eibach or F-Sport or Tein H-Tech.

LOL

1. You never heard of it because it doesn't exist. LOL It's just my personal car project, code name Yokohama, Japan.

2. In regards to rubn'...zero rubn on straight line, zero rubn with 4 passengers (whoo hooo!! huge plus!) BUT when I make "hard turns" the front will rub just a bit, but not enough to worry about.

3. Silver or Black: It's obvious if you want to show off your wheels from a mile away, go with silver. If you want to show off your wheels from 2 ft. away, go with black. I never liked black, until now, especially after seeing it in person.

4. I'm running Tein coilovers. The wheel gap is about a finger from the fender. I'm going to drop another 1" and add 5mm spacers (f) and 10mm (r) and it will sit hellaflush.

I'm certain you can tuck the tires without any major issues...you will probably just hear more rubn' on fast cornering/turns.

I'm running Falken FK452
225x35x19 Front
265x30x19 Rear

IMO - this is the perfect tire size...especially if you plan to tuck and/or have a flush setup, which I plan to do.

It's on H&R springs

My 2009 IS250 YOKOHAMA, (and I don't mean the tires) JAPAN Edition. Many more mods to come, just waiting for the parts to arrive...

Once again, I want to thank Zoeb and his team for their outstanding customer service!!
Great pictures man, I'll put some up on the site

All you need to do is press in the fender liner by heating it up with a heat gun...other than that, it's good to go
