http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...AdIdZ442013942

So I have 2 choices: and I have a BBK up front

20x8.5 +32 front, and 20x10.5 +30 rear
or
18x8.5 +35 front, and 18x10 +25 rear

Will either of these fit?

You might be alright after you do that depending on how much you pull. It'll require a pretty good pull w/o camber arms though.

not a dig at RVCAis250, because he's spot on with the suggestion, but a lot of people tend to confuse the fender tab and the bumper tab.
Thanks for the advice guys. I actually didn't make it clear myself in the first quesiton, my fault.

Is it possible to pull it off without pulling? I'll roll, shave, and run camber arms, but I just don't like pulling haha. Thanks in advance once again!

"projectdna" i just wanted to jump back here and thank you for your recommendation on the tires. I woulda been screwed if i went with the "recommended" sizes i originally was going to do. I went with your advice and it turned out perfect! thanks again man

I'm new to the forums and just bought an 06 IS250 RWD. i came from an e46 325i and i must say i adore the IS so far!!

My question is this, I have BC-R Coils coming for my vechile and i plan to slam it. i also got a good deal on VS-XX from a friend, the sizes are

19x9 + 28
19x10 +36

Will these fit? What kinda mods will i need to do to my fender ( I never had to fender mod on my bimmer, the fitment was perfect, i decided to try a more aggressive stance with my IS)

And what tire sizes should i run?

215/35/19
and
245/35/19, might need a roll in the front. The rear should clear fine, if not then roll just a little bit.

With those offsets and specs you shouldn't need a pull. But if you are going to slam it to the max then you will need to relocate the fender/bumper tabs in the front and back.

i need a tire with a good sidewall to to I will be more on the negative camber side. I used to run General Exclaim HP's but they are discontinued.

Looking into the Hankook Ventus V12 tires due to good feedback from other stanced setup cars.
Already used, Falken 452's and not pleased with them. They lasted but road noisy/ hard for me.

Wondering If I am numbering stuff up correctly.

these are my current specs

20x9 + 14 and 20x10.5 +23

235/30/20 and 265/30/20

new wheels

20 x 9.5 +15 and 20 x10.5 +10

This is the lowest tire size i can run in Tampa, FL due to every other shop was BS'ng

225/30/20 and 255/30/20

should I run with that or

225/35/20 and 255/30/20?

in the pic, fitment now... new wheels and fitment I am looking for which is close to my wheel/offset.

I found a real good deal on wheels that I like but theyre 18x8 +35. Will these look bad on a IS350?

Are you lowered? The rears will be fine, but you'll run into fender liner rubbing on hard turns like everyone else. 8 inch width in the rear will look a tad skinny, but nothing most people would notice.
