So you're going to use g35 stock wheels (with no center caps) on the new lexus? And why not just use spacers on the stock wheels? looking at your old car, which is modded tastefully, it's hard to see why you'd want to run g35 stockers on such a nice car

yeah I'm gonna be using 19 stock wheels because 18s won't clear the BBK that I'm gonna be installing. how I wish Lexus made 19 stock forged wheels. spacers won't help because it's the actual diameter of the calipers that is not clearing. and some may wonder why the need of an upgrade for a 200hp IS250, the answer is coz i like the way it looks.

oh I think I forgot to emphasize the word STOCK WHEELS, meaning if I get a flat on my AFTERMARKET WHEELS, I'd still be able to put wheels and drive my car.

Ok, after your clarification on STOCK wheels, now I understand. And seeing them mounted on the car, honestly they don't look bad in that color for stock wheels as long as you use them only during the occasional downtimes. Now, another wheel in that same color would be sick! like this http://www.wheelstudio.com/content/p.../9109/main.jpg

Those G35 wheels look great! I'm also on the same boat as you with my new coming BBK. The stock just won't be able to clear 380mm kit and I will need another set of 19s for stock too.

that's awesome. what brand did you go with? if you don't mind me asking.
btw i put 225/35 front and 245/35 rear and now i can't even put em on. the rear tires are too big, touching the bumper. it clears the fender but not the bumper. i suggest going with 225/35 if you ever go with the same g35 wheels i got. i'm really slammed so that makes a difference too. good luck

I bought Aimgain's BBK which is made by T-Demand Japan. I'm on air so I guess I don't have to worry too much since I can just raise it.
