offsets are meaningless without widths

We need to look at spoke design also and disc type. Are you on stock or aftermarket BBK? Most of my friends with bigger brakes need only need a little bit to clear (5mm spacers).

dang it. yeah I bought rims jeez... it was cheap 500 bucks. However, they're not going on 'cause I bought it off a freakin club lexus person and the rims aren't fixable. So I got it for cheap but they're not fixable so I ended up buying a new rim. The wheels are the R2 sport DTR-3 rims the fronts are 19x8.5 and the back is 19x9.5. The offset is 35 for the front and the offset for the rear is 40. Right now the wheel in the front doesn't look like it'll clear the brake system. The brakes are just stock IS350. If the rims won't fit without rolling fenders I guess it's gonna go on my beater car.

cool thank you for that. I didn't know how to warn people on club lexus. I was gonna make a law suit out of it but didn't think it's worth my time. But now that I left a post I feel much better. At least noone else will get ripped off from him. thanx for that link.

I saw that classified ad. Sorry to hear about what happened. Well I guess you don't need that mild roll anymore. I was going to advise you not to let ShaneC roll it for you. He takes it to the exxxtreme!
