So can I fit a 19x10.5 in the rear? I see people putting 305's under these cars, but little info on the rim sizes themself, I don't see a 305 fitting on a 19x9.5 rim. Thank for the help

you can fit 305's only if you have wider fenders...I ran 295/30/19 Michelin PS2's b4 on my IS-F with stock suspension on my HREs...but they rubbed...so the fenders were shaved...heh

Thanks for the info, so looks like I'm staying with the 285's I have no plans to change the suspension.

Okay, I have one more question, I'm going to a different 5 axis rim.... an S6:F Spec. Before I spend this money.... I want to make sure that the sizes are going to work with the ISF.These are 100% custom so I can make them any size I need. 19x8-19x8.5 with a 40mm offset in the front, and 19x9.5-19x10 with a 35mm offset in the rear. From what I've searched I found the 35mm to work in the rear and not rub the outer fender and not smack the brakes. Thanks

If these are 100% custom, then you should have 5axis give you the recommendation. You should be able to tell them what kind of fitment you want (aggressive, conservative, etc.), and they would build you a set that will fit and look perfect. There's no way for you to sort this out on your own, since each wheel is different, and there's no telling that a specific numerical setup would work across all wheels.

I think the TSW wheels you chose would look better on a TL. If they dont fit I would return them

get some high end wheels if you are going to put wheels on your F... TSWs as stated just don't cut it

The IS-F came with BBS wheels, some of the best wheels around. BBS is regarded by some as the best brand. Why go to TSWs or even Axxis? That is like 4 steps down.

I don't mean to thread-jack, but you did what?!?! Usually I'm against swapping body panels to make a car look like a better model, but I'm torn because the install looks really good. How did everything fit?

LOL... that was exactly my reaction! Man, if I'm not reading Joe's post I'd think that's a real IS-F. Well done Joe.
