List the tire and wheel specs along with suspension mods. Rubbing? Let us know if any fender mods were done. I think this may help prevent some poor decisions...
Pic of my my car (stock until spring).
Lowered on rsr downs Wheel specs are 18x9.5+35 18x8.5+35
I know been asked 1000x but searching through 187 pages takes all day…
Looking at new wheel setups. Had a 19x10.5 in the rear +43 235/35 19x9.5 +40 in the front 225/35, just wasn’t feeling those specs at all. I’m on BC coils and SPC camber arms. I have a set of new tires that I never got around to using 235/35 245/35. I would like to stay 9.5 and 10.5. My question is without getting into doing any fender work what’s the most aggressive offset possible for front and rear ?
I used their custom tailored program and they can spec them anyway you want so they can replicate the oem wheels. I was hesitant to lower my car but so glad I did it, not just for aesthetics but also for how much better the car handles over the stock suspension. Also since they are custom you won't have any need for spacers, hub rings, or any other extra hardware.
My HF-5's are finished in anthracite, i would say it is the gloss version of matte gun metal. Matte black would be the hardest to keep clean, followed by satin and gloss being the easiest.
Im looking at getting the satin silver version of these wheels. As someone mentioned, I am looking to keep the specs OEM as possible without the need for additional hardware on the car. How is it cleaning the wheels, is it difficult or pretty easy to get around the wheel?
The enkei wheels on the is500 are very busy and quite labor intensive detail when cleaning in and around the spokes.

@NewbLexus these wheels are very easy to clean. Some tips: ceramic coat them right away before you mount them (both face and barrel). Use a wheel specific coating and prep the surface (i used carpro eraser). I used Gtechniq wheel armour and it makes it much easier to maintain, they stay cleaner longer and makes it way easier to clean. Don't need to use any wheel cleaner, just regular car shampoo that you use to wash the car gets everything off. For the face I use a wash mit. It's easy to get into the wheel wells because the spoke gaps are big enough, I use a wheel brush that has a microfiber surface to get in there and behind the spokes, and lastly I use a detailing brush to get into the grooves of the spokes, lug nuts and around thr air valve stem. Probably takes less than 10 mins to clean all 4 wheels. They still look brand new after a year.
Currently running 18x9.5 +38 and tire specs are 265/35/18 squared
Are these GunBlue color?
I’m still waiting for my HS Gunmetallic ones because was worried that GunBlue II would look ‚too blue’ (at least on pictures looks that way) but yours look amazing!!
I also have Cloudburst gray car

What did ya end up with!? Would ya sell the stockers?
Bent 2 and curbed one on mine so looking for wheel options now and trying to figure out what will fit without rubs.
BBS RI-D 19x8.5 +38, 19x9.5 +45 RI020 and RI021 on 235/40+19 & 265/35+19 michelin PS4. I am most likely going to lower the car on swifts in the future to close that wheel gap up
Time to change it up. Rohana RFX11, 19X8.5 +35 front, 19X9.5 +40 rear. Had my old Enkei on for so long that looking at it with new wheels throws me off, but I think they look better.
