Hey guys, would it be possibly for me to get (4) LC818 wheels in 19x8.5 +30 offset and put them on the ISF?

I'm really trying to stay away from rolling or shaving my fenders but love the LC818s in Matte Black. I have no problem throwing a spacer in the rear to make it look more flush. Is this a bad idea?

I'm not a fan of spacers.

On a performance stand point -it's a bad idea. You will be losing some tire in the rear and handling won't be as balanced.

Looks wise? I think it would look good.

I wouldn't go with spacers but to each his own...Would the wheels clear the calipers on the front? I'm too lazy right now to look up or think about the specs.

Why on earth would you not get a staggered set-up? The deep concavity of the rear LC818s is one of the best reasons to get the wheel. Search CL member djsai - he's running a set of matte black staggered LC818s on his ISF.

Hey bro you gotta go staggered. Lol I even ran a staggered when I had AWD..Staggered with concave = FTW!!

This is me on stock suspension:

thanks for the replies and pic guys...would these wheels fit on my F which is lowered on Teins w/o rubbing? According to the guide on another forum, with the specs of the LC818's of 19x10 +38..I'd have to roll/shave the fenders to get about 20mm of more space..is that possible?

^^ Welcome to the world of shaving your rear fender lips...

Shaving the Rear lips, can easily give you anywhere from 1-6 mm in extra tire sidewall clearance.

If you run the OEM tire size, it will have the stretched look and will probably not rub without shaving.
(djsai is running stock suspension & stock tire size, which = no rubbing)

^^ hey joez, is there any rubbing at all with your current set up?

Not anymore... After I shaved away 4-5 mms

i ordered a set of 19x9 +45 forgestar f14 all around with 255's.. i personally think on this car the non staggered setup is the way to go as the car understeeres way too mutch. it should ballance the car out niceley. a nother benefit is you will be able to rotate the tires, a must if you track your car..

I got rid of the understeer with the F-Sport rear sway bar. Non staggered fitment on the IS-F is ok for winter setup and snow tires IMO but not as the main setup. Lexus did not make the original setup staggered just for style.
