I am planning to get Enkei Raijin for my 2022 IS350FSport AWD, I’m planning to use stock Bridgestone tires but I want to lower it with RSR Downs as well.
does anyone have this setup to show me how it looks?
does 19x8.5 front, 19x9.5 rear with both offsets 35mm will make it flush fitment? I don’t want any wheel stick out
photoshoot coming soon, photos will be on my instagram @ajayrobles to keep up with my car🙏🏼
20x9+35 235/35 and 20x10+40 265/30 on RSR lowering springs with no rubbing!
Just wondering if you have any other suspension mods other than springs and do you rub any in the back with or without people in back on the blue one?
18x9.5 ET38 GramLights 57CR with Bridgestone Potenza Sport 265/35R18
Lowered with BC BR Coilovers to one & half finger gap
Camber -1.5deg
Rear fender slight rub on big road dips even without load. (Kind of strange since most reported no issues on this setup)
The stock rear fender inner lip seems rather non-existent to accommodate any type of rolling.
Any ideas? Thinking of lowering to one finger gap but not too sure i can do that now.
@llO0DQLE Thank you sir! I haven't seen HF-5s on this gen, came out looking good, the sharp y spokes compliment the body lines and yeah not a fan of spacers or any additional hardware. Had to wait 6 weeks for them to be made but well worth it.
Im actually looking to do this later this year as well for my 2018 IS300. Glad to hear no spacers needed to make it look really nice and flush. I already had an alignment done to fix the tire rubbing but also prevent the inner tire wear that i experienced and already fixed. (Besides the camber arm which is what im planning on getting as well).

Best bet is to either add more camber or pull the fenders to take that inwards angle out.

What about the front wheels? Any issues with rubbing?
How's the ride on the BC coilovers?
You think it would rub if you had 255 in the rears?

Front wheels are 18x8.5 ET37 with 235/40R18 so they are well within the wheel well and absolutely clear from any form of rubbing. In fact in comparison to the rears they look a little too inset if u ask me. But acceptable as it is.
BC BRs are adjustable. My first tot driving away with the installation was that it was surprisingly more cushioned than stock. So I am rather happy with it. It's like it is firm but well cushioned.

Thanks for the quick reply!
What year is your car? Based off your username, I'm guessing you have an IS200T?
When you say more cushioned, does it bounce more? (or less?)
Also for the rear, you think a 255 would be fine?
If you have more pics of your car, that would be appreciated!

Yes, its a 2017 IS200t.
Cushioned means it soaks up road imperfections in a more composed manner as opposed to stock.
Not necessarily more or less bouncy, but rather, imagine it being quicker to respond & recover from road bumps.....
Ride is definitely more firm in an assuring manner, but a small price to pay to get that lowered look.
