Wheels look great on the IS... Not bad at all for a 19'' wheel.. Will look even better if powder coated.. Nice Mod

What a steal for $350. Love them on the IS. Not digging that IS C though.

10mm spacers should do you good, you can double check with dubseed. Did you do any fender mods? Rolled Rears, Cut the tabs on the fronts? If/when you powder coat, post pics! I would like to see that.

From what I can recall, ES center caps fit perfect, and they have the legit L design. for some reason those look off to me, or is it just me??

I'll probably be crucified for this comment, but the Genesis coupe has similar-looking lines as our cars - especially up front:

I heard I may need a spacer up front to clear the is350 calipers can anyone confirm this?
this question...you suggested 10mm spacers to sit flush but I need to know if I need to run spacers period or if they'll clear the calipers on the is350 without them.

Seriously people need to get over this "Omg Hyundai wheels on my LEXUS". Stop acting like you drive this ultra luxury car when in fact we are driving the cheapest entry level Lexus that Toyota sells.

OP: Do it the wheels look great on the IS.

U need, at minimum, 5mm spacers on the front wheels to clear the IS350 brakes... Ask me how I know. However, whatever you do in the front wheels I'd also add that size spacer to the back wheels.

I just installed the 19" genesis wheels on my IS. But the fronts are rubbing when I am turning the wheel. I feel like it is rubbing inside the fender liner. Does any one else have this problem??

I'm still concerned that that 255's are too wide for the rear if lowered. Im thinking the 245's would be a safer bet. Any thoughts?
