I just purchased a pair of Strasse S8 20X 9.5 +35 20x 10.5 +40 for my IS350. I got them used from a guy that had them on a G37 coupe. I recently had them machined to fit my car and the tire shop stretched a pair of Nitto tires to fit on the rear. Obviously I'm a rook for buying them from a G37 in the first place thinking they would fit no problem. I'm wondering if anyone else with 20" strasse wheels has stretched rear tires and is this the only way I can run this set up? I also have some questions regarding lowering the car. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah you gonna need some fender work on front for sure (cut or roll)
for a nice stretch in the front you can used 225/35/20 & rear 245/35/20

^ damn I was about to say why fender work, those specs would fit NICE on 19's but I realized your on 20's... BTW GREAT choice in wheels, it really shouldnt be too hard to get them on, listen to these guys, theyve all been running these for a while now..
BTW SICK, when u sell those wheels I got DIBS

Everything seems fine, the front brakes clear. Im running 245/30/20 up front 285/25/20 with mild rub up front when i turn out of my driveway. Now I'm just trying to decide on springs vs. coilovers. Thanks again for the advice, greatly appreciated...
