I had a few members ask me if I can share a few pics of my new wheels / set up so here it is....
2006 IS350
Wheels: Miro 111 x 19"
8.5" fronts
9.5" rears
Tires: Achilles Atr Sport 2 Tires
235/35/19" front
265/30/19" rear
Notes:
Had to use a .375" spacer on the front to clear the big calipers
Lowered on springs 1.75" or 1.5"
No rubbing at all.

Sorry about the potato pics.

 

Love the wheels. Car looks great. Whats that creepy structure in the background?

 

Background is the old, unused Bethlehem Steel plant.

 

Yes Sir Bethlehem Steel Plant furnace

 

I have the same tires. What are your offsets?

 

+35 fronts, +40 rears

 

Ok. There look to be a slight negative camber in the rear. The front looks flush.

 

do you think you could fit 245s in the front without rubbing?

 

Nah. I would stick with 235 in the front. I would either get 275 in the rear or get spacers. +30 ET would be perfect in the rear.

 

yeah on this car the fronts already have good fitmenf but i want to see how much room he has left causs im thinking about putting 245s on my front which has the 18" wheel option. if itll fit for him it'll definitely fit for my smaller wheels

 

I have to take a closer look at it as I do see it on the factory pics but not on the first pic that I took at the tire shop (it looks flush on both front and rear on that first pic). Could be the angle of the pics?
Thanks.

 

Lots of us have run 245s on the front. I did it for 3+ years before moving to 255s about a month ago. No rubbing, but I'm at stock height.

Redspencer ran 245s for several years, and just moved to 255s on his car with F-Sport springs/shocks.

 

With the spacers are they 10mms are they bolt on or slip on types ? Did you end up needing to use Loctite?

 

I used the new aftermarket lug nuts the spacer is slip on if that's what you mean?? No loctite.....

 

I assume you meant extended studs.I'm wondering also if there is enough lip (I doubt it) on the oem hub for the wheel to sit on if not your wheels will rely on the studs to hold them centric.
