yeppp

F:
18x8
General Exclaim UHP
225/40/18

R:
18x8.5
General Exclaim UHP
245/40/18

The factory IS350 wheels run the same fronts but 255/40/18 out back. The 245/40 are closer to factory 205/65/15s anyway... not to mention the exclaim UHP doesnt come in 255/40 anyway....



I wanted this specific tire as it got pretty good treadwear ratings

Looks very nice. I always wondered what they would look like since I was thinking I could use them as daily drivers.

just went out and looked... there is approximately 1.5" of clearance between the stock calipers and the spokes... anyone know if the BBK might fit? not sure how much bigger the calipers are myself..

hmm dont like it, the sportyness of the wheels do not flow with this large long car.
