Default Lexus IS-F AZA 20's Blacked out ! (Pics!!)

just got home from snatching up my wheels up in Turlock, CA (at AZA Wheel). In case you havent been follwing the story, i decided to black my wheels out. They also modded the rear wheel and gained me 1/4" more depth on the dish. Wheel spacers are out of the question until i roll the rear fenders as it barely clears. The rear is tucked up it there but it DOES clear though...


i personally like it a million times better now

stats: AZAforged 20" "slide" wheel - the offset is 20x10 275/25/20 rear and front 20x9 235/30/20. The tires are Nitto Invo's.

its hard to get good pics of black....and not to mention the car got dusty from a 4hour round trip mission today.

Looks good, my friend! Your F is sick as low as it is. Blackout with black rims and the blue calipers is a good match.

i disagree. It did settle probably another 1/8" since i initially lowered it. I dont mind, i like it like this. Im not into that "fender sitting on the tire" look. I like my tires to tuck, its just me. It rides extremely nice on the KW's even at this level and doesnt rub at all on full U-turns.

I might roll the fenders and put a spacer on the rear just to nudge it out just a little. As it stands there is about 1/8" of gap.

ya its a little lower then i initially had it when i first did the drop....but i drove 2 hours home with it like this and its all good. The stock 19's actually rubbed when backing up with the front wheels turned....the 20's dont at all. Im pretty stoked on how its all turning out. A slight smoke on the tails is probably next. Not blacked out, just enough to take the "edge" off the red.

As I imagined, the blacked out rims look good on your car! I do like it better than your previous color.

I think you need more aggressive offsets to pull off being so low. Still looks good though.

I can't imagine being that low. I'd never make it anywhere here, I could never go into garages, ect...
