+40 in the front (225/40-18) and +27 (265/35-18) in the rear. I was previously running a 19x8.5" +25 in the front which rubbed the bejesus out of my fender liners. I dont rub at all now, but I cant tell you if you'll rub on stock fender liners.

Uggh.... So many variables when it comes to wheel offsets. I have talked to some people that tell me that a certain wheel will fit (18x9), but that another wheel in the same size and offset won't work because of the way the spokes of the wheel are curved..... Thanks for the reply though. Car really does look great!

Is that normal to have a gap in between the front corner of your headlight and the bumper? It looks a bit off. No offense meant, just wondering.

You would think that Lexus would have noticed that and would have engineered a bracket to hold that piece of the bumper closer to the car. I guess the ISF's front bumper is heavier than my IS350's bumper. I would still rather drive an ISF with a saggy front bumper than an IS350. Nice ride.

this thread is for the aggressiveness of your wheels or the look of the car?

Even the regular 2IS bumper sags. I have an 06 and I can tell my bumper sags. A few other members on the forum have posted about the bumper sagging too

It's probably a free for all to just post pictures of your car.

"Aggressive" wheels or having an "aggressive" look doesn't actually mean anything. It's totally subjective and most 2IS owners probably think their car looks "aggressive."

It's probably the most useless classification to use when asking for car pictures.
