Considering th offset they will look semi flush but once lowered they will be sunked in

Thanks for the reply!

I wonder what offset would look best with stock height?

I would consider +30 or +35 but +30 would be the best flush look and dont let wheel shops that dont sell aggressive wheels tell you otherwise I made that mistake with my first set got some +40 and man was I dissapointed I run +22 now but needs fender work to fit them

That looks right. Tires look really stretched, what are the specs?

Finally got my track wheels. Konig milligram 18X8.5 +35 square setup. Just under 19lbs a wheel. Currently running 225 up front and 245 in the rear but want to try to run 255/35/18's all around when current tires are gone. The 255 up front might require a bit of work though.

That looks awesome!! What offset did you get up front? What tires up front as well?

I have a set on order as well, in a different colour. Should be here this week!

I like these, they remind me of the WedsSport TC105N or the XXR 527s. The colour looks good on TP as well, I didn't think bronze/gold would look that good on the IS, but it works!

I make a little photoshop for choose my next wheels color..(work emotion xd9 in 18")
Your opinion about color?

(low+grey)

(low+white)


I plan to select following wheels sizes (with oem fenders) :
front 18x9 +30 (225/40/18)
rear 18x10 +38 (245/40/18)
Like says on the wheels threads..For the rear it's OK with stock fenders and for the front with stock fenders what is the best ? 18x9 +30 or maybe +38 ?

Guigui I'd leave it stock colour, but I also like white as well. Looks hot!
