Yup. Rubbed a nice big hole in the fender liner on both sides

After taking a friend to the hockey game, I decided to put the wheels on (our basement dwellers, the Oilers, beat the Canucks btw ...here are some quick pictures. I will take better pics this weekend when I have some time to clean her up. These are right after a quick spray and I've noticed that the springs settled a bit more when I got home.

2 things I want to change. First, I'm looking at getting some Lexus center caps...preferrably in a gunmetal color and secondly, I definitely want to get some spacers for the rear.

Awesome wheels! Fog lights are nice too. Finally get to see some 2011 ISs with aftermarket wheels.

LOL, I knew it was just a matter of time before a Californian would say this

I'm dropped on Fsport springs and that's as low as I want to go for now. If you haven't noticed in some of my pictures, there is still a fair bit of snow....and it's April! Trust me, if I lived in a climate that was hot year round, I'd be slammed as well. But by the time they get all the sand off the streets, it's damn near time to put the winters back on

Im on a 19 by 8.5 with a 45 offset and on Fsport springs...a 15mm spacer should be safe? What would u recommend?

Ps. I cand definitely feel the lightness of these wheels compared to the stocks, it revs up much quicker from a start. Its like driving a different car! Thanks for the compliments guys.

LOL...It was hard trust me, especially with our second child on the way! In the end I had a huge laundry list of to do items around the house...such as painting, putting things together, touch ups, grouting tile, start on our basement etc..took me months, but it was well worth it!
