Default HELP me to decide!!!

hey guys,

i'm planning to pick up a set of used Work Varianza T1S wheels and tires but not sure if the price/fitment is right. i have an is350 and here're the details of the wheels and tires.

front: 19x8 offset 35 / tires: 235/35/19 RE050 with about 75% tread left
rear: 19x10 offset 55 / tires: 245/35/19 Nitto NT555 about 90% tread left

curb harsh on each wheel but nothing major.

Asking: $1700

pls help me to decide if i should go for it or no.

tks,
eric

tks man but what if i'm able to negotiate it to $1500? do they fit my car w/o any problems? do i need spacers to clear the front brakes or make it look flush? weak offset?

still no even for 1500. they'll fit with no problems depending on the disc up front. offsets are really weak though
