Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

Finally my account have been activated. Anyway I'm from middle east and my Lexus IS300 is model 2007 equipped with the same engine of Lexus GS 300 year 2007.

I'm sure you guys know about it cause there are many guys from Middle East like me in here lol

Okaaaay Okaaaaaaay I'll finish the bla bla stuff looooool.

I got these wheels and installed them 2 days ago. I'll be posting pictures of my car tonight. Wait for me guys.

Here are my Wheels:



Wheels: ASA AR9 With Spoke Inserts.

Size:
Front: 19x8.5
Rear: 19x9.5

Tire: Nitto NT555

Size:
Front: 235/35ZR19 W91
Rear: 275/35ZR19 W100

No rubbing at all, but the car will be quite heavy not too much just a little.

After installing them. I use to have a noise coming from my stock wheels since I bought the car, but after that it's gone. it's stable more than before and feels good at high way driving.

I'll soon be installing F-sport suspention but I have to make sure it fits my car cause when I was going to install an air intake it didn't fit because our engine stock air intake is a short ram.

I guess there is more research need to be done on my car. It took me 5 months to make sure my wheels will fit the car loooooooooooooooool.

Damn middle east specs. They are always different... It would have been easier if we have the IS350 engine...

Okaaaaaaay hold on till I get you the pictures of my car

hmmm, I'm not thinking to drop it a even a little because where I live it's about 1 KM Drive off road, so i'll leave it as it's. Also if I lower it I'm afraid the rear wheel will start rubbing while going on hump speeds. Also I'm afraid if I face a street full of holes and humps and jumppy road... It might rub as will, so lets leave that space so the wheels can have enough room to move up and down in case of hump speeds, holes, off road...etc
