Hello CV! First Lexus but not new to the scene.
What up fam! First off, I want to thank you for the mountain of info available here. Thanks!
A few weeks ago I purchased my first Lexus and I'm loving it so far. I've been turning wrenches since I had my first car (s13) and plan to do a mild VIP build with this car. Here are some pictures of my previous projects.
Started with a bone stock automatic s14 and ended up with this
Eventually matured out of the drifting scene and went VIP
Then this happened...
Saved up a few pennies and bought this
I still have the Weds chillin in my parents garage, I'd love to slap them on my IS but they're pretty aggressive and don't know if I'll be able to tuck without having to run a lot of negative camber. Any input will be much appreciated.
Edit: before you roll your eyes, know that I did indeed go through the threads regarding wheel fitment. However I did not see anybody running the same spec wheels, remaining static with a mild tuck. Specs are 19x9.5-11/19x10.5-15

I briefly talked to him this past Saturday, he wasn't too sure... He said the IS's have big wheel wells but my wheels are pretty aggressive. I might end up having to sell or trading them:/

Yes it is SGM and yes it is also AWD. I do know that the rolling diameter on all for wheels have to be the same to prevent damage to my drivetrain. If my math is correct the there is less than a half inch in difference between the rear wheels and the front wheels.
I'll probably end up posting my wheels for sale/trade here once I get enough post under my belt.

Since I had these wheels sitting in the garage collecting I decided to slap them on for ****s and giggles. Even at stock ride height the front wheels rub lol
Not the look I'm going for hahaha
