and what a difference a tire makes. Here is the same BC rear wheel with a Michelin PS2 mounted. 305/30. Looks damn near perfect.



With the rim guard though it is wider than the pirelli, so it has a slight rub inboard with the FS wheels.
will post up slight in a bit,.

An update. Since Continental has been backordered nationwide, I decided to go with the Nitto Invo to test out and get rubber for both sets of wheels. The have a favorable aspect and contact spec for fitment and more importantly they were affordable and in stock. Should have some better pics soon and rolling impressions.

Nitto Invo's seem to fit perfect. Nice rim gaurd still and good clearance. Went with a 255/35 front for proper diameter. A real photoshoot soon.

What is the name of these rims? Fantastic looking. I love the concavity. These be even better in a darker gunmetal color.

They are Forged 1 wheels. Ive already chatted with the supplier and they say / have confirmed the deep concave will fit the IS-F rear.

Yeah not possible, Ive spoken to Adv1, Forged Specialties, and even Axiom, and they all say the opposite. That is a low offset car they told me(yeah I emailed them these pics) and the IS F unless you want to do widebody or leave your car sitting in the garage not moving, that concavity will never happen.
