Maybe for a split second once a month on a really bad speed bump in the rears, and even then it's not a severe rub. In short, not really, no.

If you didn't have the rear spacers, it wouldn't rub at all then, right?

Correct. If I didn't have any, it would likely not rub at all. At the end of the day it's about what the calculated offset is. If it's higher than what I have right now, it won't rub at all ever.

Default Kensei Astro 19x9.5 +35 front?

Will Kensei Astro 19x9.5 +35 with a 235/35zr19 tire fit on all 4 corners of a 2016 rwd is350 fsport? Will they clear the front break? The car will be dropped -1.4” front and -1.0” rear on rsr down springs. Also plan on getting Megan racing front camber arms if they’re needed.

just got them new shoes yesterday for my daily driver 2016 is300 awd!

squared setup:
TSW Bathurst in Mirrored Silver
19x8s all around with hub-centric rings
wrapped in Kapsen 235/35/19 budget chinese tires (my wheel shop recommended them)
20mm spacers in front
I had 20mm spacers in the back that caused rubbing from poking out too much so I took em off
stock suspension

future plans:
adjustable coilovers to reduce front wheel cap



@vogueautosport in Montreal

mirrored silver

color looks so good with atomic silver


I'm a cottage trip warrior so don't mind the dirt and grime

Default Tire size question

Hey everyone, I just traded up from my 2015 is350awd to a new to me 2022 Is350awd.
I was running a set off Ark Performance AB-15s
19-8.5 front with 235/35/19
19-9.5 rear with 265/30/19
Would there be a problem to swap them to the new car?

The only important difference is the use of lug bolts instead of lug nuts. You would have to figure out what kind of bolts you could use with the wheels to make them work - otherwise, should be no problem.

Thank you.
So the smaller front profile wont affect the AWD?

From what I understand, the AWD system is exactly the same as it was before. The main thing you want to be sure of is that the front and rear tire circumferences are nearly the same. I think your setup is basically the same as a stock 2021+ IS 350 AWD anyways.

edit: Actually no, your tires will be somewhat smaller. Hmm. I don't think it'll be a problem if it was not a problem on your prior car. Your speedometer will be a little off.

Default Aftermarket OEM specs

I’m looking into getting Vossen HF-5 for my 2023 Lexus IS since the OEM wheels are difficult to keep clean. I was wondering if it is possible to get OEM specs for the Vossen HF5?

I ask because they have a custom sizing and offset program. Now, all the vossens I have seen installed on the 2021+ Lexus IS are different size rims, lowered, use spacers, etc. I don’t want to do that since it will affect other aspects of the vehicle.

Additionally, has anybody gotten Vossen HF5 in anthracite finish? What is the texture of that finish?

Lastly, does satin black clean easier than matte black?
