Has anyone had this setup before? Pics would be great thanks! Just trying to see how big the wheel gap is. Ran a search, didn't find any useful threads.

Thanks.

Thanks guys! I just upgrade to 18" F-sports on my IS250. Wheel gap isn't as bad as stock, but def stlil at like 3-4 finger gap...The 40 sidewall height helps not make it look as much as a 4x4

It's mainly because you have AWD. If it was RWD, the wheel gap would not be much with stock suspension.

I have RWD which has the factory sport suspension and it looks good the way it is.

No waaaay. LOL. When I first got my IS350, the wheel gap was waaaaaaaay too much and I had the sports package. :3

Mb I just like my cars low, but still. Haha. I had to get rid of the entire gap asap!

If you compare it to AWD version, it's worse. Since I can see the both 250 AWD/RWD in the garage here, it's night and day.

Of course my friends tell me that I should lower the car even more - I don't plan to since I don't plan on lowering it to the point it starts bottoming out and scrapping stuff. Those nice parking ramps like lowered cars around here if you get what I mean?
