^Looks nice! But personally I'd raise it up about an inch or so. Maybe 3/4. and would be perfect. but still nice wheel choice!

Thanks so much! It definitely is a tad low. The reason I started this low is because I went from the Swift springs to coilovers and my installer recommended to give it a shot. He said raising it up will basically leave me at the same height as springs, so why bother.

Suspension travel is a nice thing. nice to have a little cushion room.
but really enjoying the wheel choice. any side shots? need spacers?

Very vaild. I'll probably end up raising it a bit after the next few car shows. The handling is definitely improved, but I'm currently at full stiff in the rear because the passenger side would rub from time to time.
As for spacers, currently running a 5mm in the front, but it can use a 10. Waiting to install with H&R extended studs come time for new front rotors. The back sits perfectly flush with no spacers.
Here are some side shots...not professional lol

I noted the careful distance of your vehicle to the curb...and how far over the curb the Accord is next to you...lol!!

me, too! i love those wheels! i think someone said they didn't fit the 3IS because of a different offset. do you know if this is true? like, were any modifications made so that the wheels would fit the 3IS? also, what size tires are you using? i'm almost about to pull the trigger on these but i would have no idea which tires fit.

I was considering picking up a set for my 2016 IS 300 AWD. Was wondering if think there would be any fitment issues with the AWD? I'm all stock at the moment.

I though the forged F Sport rims you were running are 19X8 all around? Although that would explain why the rear is a 255/30/19, since that tire is too big for the an 8 inch rim.
And the difference in circumference between a 225/35/19 and 255/30/19 is approx. 15mm, so it's nothing the vehicle would ever really notice.

The square setup isn't necessary, once the tire circumferences are the same as to not upset the AWD. The stock F Sport rims are staggered with the same tire sizes, whether you have a RWD or AWD.
