Hi guys. I have a question for you. Got my new IS few weeks ago and for now Im running stock 17" on winter tires. Its getting warmer every day and I would like to buy a summer setup for my car. I want to avoid vossen and 19" so my target is ENKEI 18" Thats where I need your help.
I would like to buy tires in stock fsport sizes 225/40/18 255/35/18
Maybe... maybe in future I will go for RSR half downs.
What et should i get for front and rear wheels to not rub?
Oh and please dont say anything about big tire wall and 19". I drive fast, I drive on bad quality roads, Riding 10mph, in house area to impress people is not my target.
Also, any pictures with similar setup and specs would be nice!

Thank you!
i have the RAIJIN wheels. 18x8.5 ET:38 and 18x9.5 ET:35 and lowered on RSR super downs. rides really nice. only rub in rear when going fast around a turn. im gunna pull the rear fenders a little.
If you have a 350, you might want to go a bit lower on the offsets... The front calipers a big and wheels need to be spec'd accordingly.
agree about brake clearance--
OP just because you pick a wheel with the same sizes/widths/offsets as stock doesn't mean it will have the same brake clearance--spoke design has a lot to do with that too.
Having that said, all of the Enkei wheels you are shopping look like they have very flat spoke designs that will probably offer plenty of brake clearance.
