Default New Owner...will these wheels fit?

Just picked up a 2015 IS 350 FSport. Can you tell me if these wheels that i had on my G37 will fit on the car...

20x8.5 +32 on 245/35/20
20x10 +40 on 275/30/20

If so, will they sit flush, tucked or poke?

I plan on lowering the car on Eibach Pro-Kit springs. Any vendor in particular have good prices on springs?

Thanks in advance guys

Lots of poke those wide tires means rubbing issuers, but it can be done.

Yes, they should fit based on size alone, you'll have some poke out with your current height. If you go lower, you will have to resort to ricer camber settings in which your wheels will have to lay over and chew up the inside of the tire. Also, going up 2 more inches from the stock wheel size, your speedo is going to be off. You would need a reflash to get it right. I would also be concerned if you were ever to hit a dip in the road that the tire isn't going to catch the inside of the fender well.

You will have to check and see if you might need a spacer, or if hub pattern aligns. That I don't know for you, sorry.

Your ride will also become harsher and your overall performance will decrease because the 20s are heavier. Finally, I am not sure how that is going to impact your turning radius, but you might have the tires hit offf the inside of the fender well and do damage before you hit the bump stops on the rack. So honestly, IMO, you'd be better to sell the wheels.

I agree with the guys. The wheels will fit but you will run into many rubbing issues. And if you do go lower you will have to do Camber work to make it look some what OK . .I say sell them and get some newer ones to fit you Make n Model..
