Those are the 19" wheels on the 370 right? What size tires are you on?

Looks nice definitely love that concave look! Btw your front driver side wheel looks like its missing a nut.
Yes. I have F-Sports lowering springs.

and.. alright.. here's thing very wierd.
first I put them on the lexus stock springs and I hear just little rubbing sound from the front when I turn hard.
so I didnt want to lower the car but It looks very tall and ugly.
then I got f-sports springs. i was planning to roll the fenders if it rubs badly.
BUT i hear no rubbing sound at all now lol.
Thanks to God!!!

yes. they are 19in rims from 370Z. my tires are 225/35/19 front, 265/30/19 rear.

I've offered my co-worker with a MINT 370Z a straight-up trade for my ratty, old OE wheels for his. He said no. LOL!

Looking good for sure!

It's not a bad look that for sure BUT i feel it might be abit too sporty design for a luxury prestige car.

The front could do with 10mm spacer to make it stick out in the same way as the rear.

tyres should be wider to protect the rims.

I have Tanabe drop whic i think is abit lower than the F sports, that means rolling of fenders fo anything lower...

lol it's an IS350 not a Rolls Royce. It's supposed to be sporty.
I think they should have come with a nice aggressive wheel like this. Looks great on the car.
