WOW do those rims look PERFECT! haha

They are the best looking rim on the 2IS I have seen to date I wasnt going to get them until another member showed me a pic and it was all over from there! Going back to the OEM set up I can tell you those PS2 tires really make the car on rails!!!!

If you need help when you install the side mirrors I will help if you need anything you got my info

thanks for all the praise guys!

Looks like the rear is rubbing slightly over bumps so i'll probably need to get the rear rolled...

Does anyone know a place that does fender rolling in socal? Preferably in the 909 area..

A quick pic i just snapped before dinner... first day driving i've noticed some rubbing in the rear on ramps on the freeway and on slight bumps in the road. Maybe the tire is rubbing on the wheel well?



To come tested fitted Lexon roof spoiler... waiting for a call back from Joe at backyard creations for a quote and time.

^^ I only had rub when going over dips but then rolled the rear fenders. I am surprised you are rubbing as its not as much of a drop as the TeinS??

how is the gap on your car from left/right? I had maybe a finger on the passenger side and none on the drive side. it did rub more on the driver side due to the "lean" or whatever you want to call it.

is your drop .08 in the rear?

Yeah dropped on IS250 prokit so the drop is 1.4 in front and 1.0 in rear.

On driver side:
The rear has about 1.5 finger


The front has about 2 exactly


Passenger side:
Rear has 1 finger gap tightly


Front about 2 with some giggle room
