A friend on mine and IS250 F Sport USB owner has taken a few quick shots. The TOM'S trunk spoiler and RAYS FXX wheels have been installed recently:

The devil is, as always, in the details ))



Here are the original RAYS aluminum valve caps. The red anodized colour perfectly matches the lettering of the wheels' center caps )

Big stuff is on it's place, so time for small additions now )

RAYS steel 17 HEX lug nuts added to complete the RAYS-branded setup and Japan made KYO-EI 5mm spacers and hub rings widen the front track a bit. The rears measured 9.5 ET38 give a perfect stance to my taste, but fronts of 8,5 ET38 are sitting too deep. 5 mm spacers have made the overall setup as good as it can be )

I have the same +38 offset and staggered dimensions on my 19s all around. I like your idea of the spacers at front.

The cheap and reliable way to make a car look better )

No rubbing issues with 235/35 front rubber.

This is not a mouse - it's LDA-controller for non-Navi multimedia, similar to BMW's iDrive. The recessed area text to the controller is a place to store your iPhone - fits perfectly )) And yes, it's stock.

Because You've got the "remote touch" mouse-style controller in your car. It comes with the palm rest.

Added 3 mm KYO-EI spacers for the rear wheels - the fitment is really perfect now! ET38 + 3 = 35 ))



Removed the front 5 mm spacers - the hub centric rings were too short and did not center the wheels properly - experienced some high speed wobbling. Ordered a pair of studded hub centric 11 mm for the front end - even with 5 mm the wheels looked too narrow compared to the rears.

Japan Post works flawlessly and my spacers are at home ) Here are the reputable KICS 11 mm studded hub centric spacers from KYO-EI:



What's inside:



The spacers have a 73 mm center bore and come with a pair of 60=>60 tall centric rings, so I had to order a set of 60=>73 rings to center my RAYS wheels properly:



Here is how the assembled kit looks:



The build quality and fitment of these parts is exceptional, can't wait to install all this stuff )
