so even i put the spacer i would not rub or roll fender any right ?
The only way I'd do spacers is with longer studs. I have no idea how much work it is to replace the them on the F though. Don't want to give false information that studded spacers are unsafe either, because I know a lot of people use them without issues. Good wheel spacers that I can name are ichiba, h&r and project kics.

Plan to keep my stock wheels. Mines lowered about an inch and it looks clean with the stock wheels.

I like the stock wheels, besides the fact they nick/chip very easily.

Also repairing (painting, baking etc.) would be a challenge for most wheel repair places from what I've seen with other IS-F owners.

If you are on the budget then you can buy a nice used set of wheels. ISF owners tend to take care of their cars and mods, so you get a discount and know exactly how it would look to boot.

Oh yea, buy my wheels They are for sale lol

I am on board with the op. I really want to get a new set of wheels but I can't find a set I am fully set on. And when I see a set I really like, it totally takes away from the performance aspect. All form... truly first world problems hahaha

Default Tws t66-f

So after I got flamed for running 20's off a challenger and stretching the tires lol did look pretty dumb but my f14's had a small crack which was getting fixed.
Being one to give into peer pressure I went for a more conservative looking and weight saving wheel -. still stuck with a subtle gun metal finish though

TWS T66-F
19" x 9.5 245x45
19" x 10 275x30

I think they have more flatbed miles on them than driving miles though... also fitted new brakes all around Baer 6s w/ 2 piece rotors after a weeks worth of detailing, paint correction I'll post better photos

edit: meant to post this on the aftermarket wheel thread
Hi all, would really appreciate some advice.

Been combing the used market and having trouble finding wheels that don't have really aggressive offsets. I'm on stock suspension and found a beautiful set of 19" work emotions online that I'm considering buying. They're 19x9.5 +38 square. Currently they have on 255/35/19 tires. I kind of like the idea of going square.
I see some folks on here that have run these successfully and some that have not. I'm pretty new to understanding this stuff and I now know that lowering can actually help fitment by adding some small amount of negative camber (let me know if I'm wrong). Thus I'm a bit afraid that these are gunna rub or destroy my fender liners. I also wanted to eventually run 265 all around and I don't think that's possible--255 seems too narrow.

I also found a set of the same wheel model in a staggered setup. 19x9.5 +38/+45. I'm guessing this would probably work better but it would have to be staggered again... and I would have to drive a far bit to get them.

Any thoughts on what to do here? Honestly I'd rather run spacers but I've heard bad things about spacers on our cars and I also don't want to add unsprung weight. I'd also like to avoid rolling or otherwise messing with my fenders as I've heard that it could cause some issues in the long run and it just seems a little worrisome.

TLDR:
Stock suspension and unmodified fenders --
19x9.5 +38 square? Can I eventually go with 265s without rubbing?
OR, should I just go with 19x9.5 +38/+45 staggered
OR should I just keep waiting for some wheels with less aggressive offsets to pop up...
