Default Need help with wheels!!!!

Does anyone know if Zenetti Five 20x8.5 will clear the front brakes on the IS 350? Also, will 20x8.5f with a 40 offset and 20x10r with a 43 offset rub if I'm dropped on Eibachs? Anyone know the lip sizes, front and back? Last question, are these good wheels?

i know this might not be the most helpful response, but check out the aftermarket wheel thread.. several people have posted photos and specs for 20" zenetti fives.. that should give you some pretty good leads

check out the aftermarket wheel thread at the top of the page. it will tell you everything you need to know. also do a search on offsets.

good luck..

I checked, but no one discusses if they needed to grind the calipers or if they had to use spacers for the front wheels to fit. Nor do they discuss the quality of Zenetti wheels.

Default Wheel Question?

Hi, I own an IS350, I was wondering if I could run the following:

18x8.5 , offset +40 front
18x9.5 , offset +40 rear

Tires: F: 255-35-18 / R:285-30-18

would this have any problem on an IS350?

THX!!

Default Wheel fitment question

Ok, so I have done a little research about the most common offsets used on the 2IS, so dont kill me for this. Does anyone know if an 19x8 wheel in 30mm offset will work on the front of the IS? The other option for the front is a 33mm offset in 19x8.5, which I would like to use on the rear. I know this is pushing it, but I thought maybe someone would know for sure. Also, if I did run this setup, would I be in trouble if I wanted to lower the car?

Thanks
Brandon

If I'm not mistaken Javier's specs are +33mm offset for front and rear - 18 x 8.5 f and 18x 9.5 r. Right Javier? If the specs are correct there should be no problem lowering your car as long as the OD remains the same. Please refer to Javier's threads.

im running 20X8.5 up front with a 32 offset and its not poking out its running flush with the cars. It should be fine. I personally would go with the 8.5"s in the front. As far as the lowering goes, it depends how low you wanna go, and how much you wanna stretch the tire like a rubber band! good luck make sure you post pics!!!! Welcome to CL!

Default Quick Wheels and Tire Question

Hey guys, first off I have an 06 is350

Im interested in getting the S22 Sevas wheels

Fronts are 20x8.5 / 25 offset and rears are 20x10 / 40 offset

I was told that I need H & R 5mm spacers for the front?

Also what is your recommended tire size for these wheels not to rub in the BACK, I know abuo the rubbing issue on the front.

I can get for a decent price some Ventus Hankook 245-35-20 Front / 275-35-20 Rear

My question is will these tires work, or most importantly will the rear work without rubbing against inner fender wall.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
