Wow! I wanted 10s in front, but didn't think it could be done. Went with 9.5s on 265/35/19s. Don't know if you will be able to stuff 285s in there, though. Nice work!

Forged, three-piece, DPE CS20s with 19 x 9.5s (+49) on 265/35/19s Michelin Pilot Super Sports in front and 19 x 11s (+61) on 305/30/19s in the rear. Wheels were designed for maximum concavity on the high offset IS-F and ordered in the 2010 IS-F OEM wheel color. Rear quarters are cut. The car sits on HKS Hipermax M1 coilovers, has FIGS Engineering rear Mega control arms with adjustable toe links, the Lance alignment and has been corner balanced.
It took four color samples for me to approve the color. It's the same as factory, but does not have the satin look of the OEM wheels. The color is more metallic than the true OEM color and, try as we might, we could not match the satin look of the OEM wheels. Still, I am pleased with the color and feel it complements the wheel design and the color of the car as well. I suck at taking pics but try to enjoy:

To get the look I wanted, drive the car the way I prefer and to fit 11-inch wide wheels on those big, meaty Michelin 305s. I like my wheels/tires to tuck inside factory body work and I am not into the hella flush rubber band tire look in the least. There is only so much space inside our factory wheel wells and, when you add a wheel that is two-inches wider than stock, and a tire that, on paper is virtually two-inches wider than stock but, in actuality is more than this, something has got to give. Given my desire to get as much rubber underneath the car as is reasonably possible, the look I prefer and my driving style, high offset it is. (The same is, essentially, true for the front as well since my front wheels are 1.5-inches wider than the OEM wheels and my front tires are the same size as the rear tires on the 2013 IS-F.)

Fantastic fitment Ken, I can't remember ever seeing the finished product. Looks perfect and is very drive-able I am sure.

It will depend on the tires for sure. a x11 +55 should be perfectly flush with the outside fender lip so it will require a non-muscular tire to clear or a fender pull.

Thanks for the kind words, Mike. It's only the second time I have posted pics of the car and the first time was just one pic in a sport lowering springs thread when I had the Swifts (and the OEM wheels) on the car.
