What's the offset on the rims? It would nice to compare to what fits the 2014-2020.
I'm guessing front +30 and rear +45.

Not bad after, but I actually liked it before better. The new setup isn't bad, but just gives the appearance of being slightly over-wheeled. Meaning the visual balance is off a bit, giving the wheels a bit too much proportional emphasis. Plus the stock wheels of the IS facelift are unique in that you won't see them on other cars vs. you'll see multiple cars of other brands/makes/years/generations with your new wheels as they're a universal application. I hope you keep your stock wheels, they're nice.

Just how I look at it. Can't wait to see what other things you install!

20x9+32 20x10.5+45 is the fitment.
The fitment is the same as a GS/GS350 actually because on the older model 2014-2020 19” size is the biggest size you would want to go.
I had a 2019 IS350 FSport and I tried 20” and it didn’t fit quite right and the wheels looked a bit oversized on it. So I ended up with 19” size just pretty much everyone. But now on the 21’ IS350 20” size fits a lot better more room.

For example:

2019 IS350 I had
19x8.5+32 19x9.5+45
235/35/19 265/30/19
and it was for perfect fit.

2021 IS350 I have
20x9+32 20x10.5+45
235/35/20 275/30/20
and it’s a perfect fit.

thank you for your opinion.

The HF5 has been done on other cars but I’m the first on the new facelift IS350 I sold the black chrome wheels that I didn’t like. Black chrome is to old school for my taste. Plus I will probably have multiple sets put on my IS because I work in the wheel industry. I’ll have more new options as companies pump out new models.

I am not usually an "after market wheel" guy but I must admit that I really like the wheel design - It is not overly busy and suits the car well although I am not totally sold on the finish. I like a finish that is more like my RC350 - a painted wheel with a clear coat finish. That is one thing I am happy about being in Canada, the RC350 wheels have a different finish than those from the US

I think the gloss black wheel with the Grecian Water works great. Those wheels are beautiful; they are making me want to spend my stimulus check unwisely.

Digging the fitment on the rears. Looks good man. Also how did you mount the plate to the side. I heard the new models don't have the toe hook that we used to have.

Toe hook is now in the grill instead of the bumper like the previous body styles. A portion of the grill on the left (drivers) side is removed to expose it.

That looks awesome! Would like to see how it looks from the back and how flush they sit.

I think the wheels look great and integrates well with the look of the car.

Do you have AWD or RWD? Asking because I have AWD and it looks like the only rsr springs available are for RWD
