'07 IS350 w/ 19" RC350 F-Sport Wheels
Hello CL,
Just want to say "Hello" to everyone and give back to the community. I've been a member for a while but without a Lexus
. Finally, picked up an 07 IS350 last year and so far I'm very happy with it. 
Now, for those who are looking to upgrade their wheels to the 2015 RC350 19" F-Sport Wheels, I say go for it! They fit and look great! I'm currently lowered on Tein CS coilovers with about half a finger gap all around and there's only a slight rubbing sound to the inner fender liner when making a turn or going up the drive way (but if you drive slowly and turn, you won't hear the rubbing sound at all). When driving straight and normal there are no rubbing issues. I plan on either raising the car up a bit, heat up the inner fender liner, or get a pair of 225/40/19 front tires to get rid of the rubbing sound for good. I'm also thinking of getting a 10mm or 15mm spacers for the rear to make the wheels a little more flush. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with how the car looks with these wheels on.

Thank you guys! I was hesitant to try these wheels on at first but I'm glad they fit well. They look much better in person too! I'll probably replace the front tires with some 225/35/19 to get rid of the slight rubbing all at once.

Sick setup! Looks just perfect.
I have one general concern: Do you need to program the car so that the Speedometer and the Odometer know you are running a different wheel/tire size? I assume in your case the car will show a slower speed than the actual one since you added 1" to the size?!
This is the only think keeping me off from changing my setup, I would be happy to hear if there is a decent tool to program.

Thank You for this post! Now I know these wheels will look good on my 07 IS350 also. Just picked up my set of 2016 RC wheels with tires for $800 today in Oxnard, CA. The wheels and tires were only on the previous owners car for 1 day! I bent 1 of my current wheels and had to get something to replace it with since they were discontinued. I'll have to buy tpm sensors to finally make the light go away. I'm used to all black everything, so I hope I can get used to these wheels. If not, I'll have them powder coated black.
