Absolutely stunning! What size tires are you running? Any spacers, or are the stock offset's perfect?

Very nice! Great wheel fitment and I like how the lug nuts match the wheel hub.

Man, I hope you dont mind, but I'm gonna copy you on this one. Those are the best looking 19s I have seen yet. Great job.

BTW, what is the bumper molding mod? Where did you get the molding from? Really defines the lower bumper with the tips. I like it a lot.

Out of curiosity, if the stock IS-F comes equipped with 19" wheels, and the tires fitted to them are 225/40 19 front, and 255/35 19 , why did you go down on the height for the front tires (40 series to a 35) , and not put 275 or 285 on the rears? Have you noticed any speedo problems with changing the factory rolling diameter?

PS: please do tell us about your bumper mod!

Sure I don't have a problem with that

Here is why.....The Michelins are from my old IS350 and are only a few hundred miles so I still wanted to use them.(I also wanted to be conservative with my is350 so in the rear I went with a 265.Only thing is at that time only a 265/35 series was available even if I wanted a 265/30 series)
So next step when I get my tein coils I will get new PS2 size 265/30 or 275/30 .I have to make sure that I have clearance on a 265 or 275 cause I don't want to roll my rear fenders.(imo 285 if I went with a 20") hope this answers your question.
As to the speedo numbers I am not really sure I noticed any changes yet (could be) this car is also not my daily driver and I only drive it weekends.

Here is the link to my bumper mod

Looks really great dude. Concave suits the F to a T.
Hilarious thread on the door molding too - people are too quick to pass judgement...
