I have pretty the same car, only the IS220D.
I looking for new wheels, I was tipped on this car / wheels

Did you consider another colour of the wheels?


The only difference (beside the wheels) between our car is a different roofspoiler and your exhaust. But I'm planning a change to IS250 exhaust. It should fit on a IS220D.

Again, nice looking car and wheels!


Another question: your roofspoiler is slightly different, where do you get it? I like yours!

I have is250 awd with stock 17" 09 rim. im planning to get this set. I have some questions about it.
1) Im not planning to lower the car, I want to keep the oem height. Will this height look weird with this height?(My friend has 09 corolla with 16'' rim and he swapped to 18'' and without lowering, the car look so bad).
2) should i get staggered(19/8.5 all around) setup or non staggered(19/8.5F and 19/9/5R)?
3) If im non- staggered what tires size should ichoose? If im getting stagggered, what tires size should i get for front and rear?
4) I definitely dont want to have any rubbing issues.WIll this setup give me this issue at all?

any helps will be appreciated.!!! thx

I think the tires? I had trouble with the Falken K452? when the Discountire installed on my Highlander (245-40-20) it had viabrate and shake at speed 50-70mph, the Discounttire rebalance like 5-6 times to get it right.

Looks really good! I was thinking about getting these wheels for my awd but I want to run front and back with 19x8.5 instead of the staggered set up.

Did you have to change lug nuts, or did the wheels work with the stock ones?

Thank you for the information. I had assumed this to be the case, but hoped it wasn't.
