I got a quick question, this is for an is300 AWD 2016 I just bought yesterday.
Is it necessary to run staggered on this car? I plan on going RSR down springs with this setup 18x8 front and rear. I just wasn't sure if i should run staggered or not.
Right now I have stock wheels, i can't even tell if they are staggered to be honest, lol

You can run a square setup if you like. The 18X8 may look a little small and tucked in on the back though, depending on the offset you get.

Hey guys, been a while but finally got an IS350. 2014 Gray /black 48,000 miles. Current situation. Selling my 06 TL, and I have 2 sets of wheels. 18" Motegi 18x8.5 +35 hyper silver w/245/40-18 on them and a set of P40 style wheels hyper silver from ebay 19x8.5 +35 w/245/35-19 on them. Factory wheel specs for TL was 17x8 +45, and both sets of wheels sit perfectly at the fender with no rub with H&R springs. I went from the 19s to the 18s because the 35 series tires rode too rough, but I had Koni struts also. I want to go 1/2" to 1" wider on the IS wheels and go with a 245 tire in front and a 275 tire in back. I want the wheels to sit as even as possible from the side view and sit close/flush to the fender without rub. Dont know if I should keep the 18s and use 2 of them, and then order 2 more matching. Would a set of 18x8.5 & 18x9.5 35 & 40 offset wotk with the size tires I want? ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!! 19s and 18s pics reference below on the TL

Something going on with photobucket. I know its not the norm for the wide tire wheel skinny tire crowd, but I like meat on my tires... lol. I miss my 1991 Z28 that was running 265/35-18 in front and 295/35-18 in the back. Decided to sell the TL with the 19s and keep the new Motegi wheels. Put all 4 18x8.5 on now, then swap out the 2 rear with some 18x9.5 later. Thanks for the confirm though!

Have a good deal on a TE37 original, 19x9.5 +22. Does anyone know if I'm going to have rubbing issues? I'm on stock suspension.
The tires are 235/35/R19 square.

Second, the offset is too low...anticipate rubbing on the front and rear...for sure if you install the proper size tires too.

Just want to confirm before I pull the trigger and order. Want to go 19x8.5 +35 in front with 245/35-19 and 19x9.5 +40 in rear with 275/30-19. I have RSR down springs and will be running stock camber. I do not want any rub. Will those rear specs work or should I go +45 in rear??? Once again any help would be greatly appreciated. PS... I really want 275/30 in rear.

Fast wheels fc04
Hello, I will like to know if anyone has fast wheels fc04 on their car? I was thinking about getting fast wheels fc04 matte bronze colour for my 2018 Lexus is300. Does anyone know if they are reliable? I was thinking about getting Konig ampliform instead of fast wheels fc04 if fast wheels are not reliable. Please help this noob.

I also had looked at the FC04 wheel a couple years back when I was shopping for new rims.
Online i thought they looked great, in person was not so impressive. But, to each his own and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
In terms of reliable, I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to determine. Are you asking more about the quality of the rim?
Fast wheels in general are just your basic wheel. Nothing wrong with them at all, it just is what it is.
Really depends on what you're looking for...are you sticking with 18's? Going to 19's? How wide? Staggered or square setup?
If those are the two wheels you are considering, I would suggest you look at the following for each:
- Size and offset available
- Weight
- Type of construction (is it a strong wheel or is it a light wheel)

Thanks so much, I was looking for lightweight wheels with wishbone spokes and keeping 18" with staggered setup. Offset will be close to my OEM rims. 45 front and 50 rear for offset. Colour will be gunmetal, bronze or silver. Still shopping around. So what did you end up getting?
