Default Hellaflush IS-F

Sup fellas, been working on some pictures. Haven't seen too many IS-Fs that are riding around on flush wheels so here is a little something I shot the other day. I think if the car was lowered more it would have been perfect! The owner of the car is a member on CL but I forgot what his s/n was. Pretty cool guy, hopefully he sees the pictures cause I told him I would post them up here.

Wheels: Breed Wheels - Wing 5
Specs: Fronts - 20x8.5; Rears 20x10 (Offsets Unknown)
Tires: Pirelli PZero 245/30-20 & 285/25-20
Lowed on: Eibach Pro-Kit Springs

LOL - I hope you don't get your wrist slapped for posting pics without the company's consent!

But those are AWESOME pics - thanks for sharing! Love the flushness.

The fitment is nice but not a fan of the rims.

That is a big lip for a IS-F, that thing rubbbbbs if you sneeze on the gas pedal, looks good for pictures though.

BTW, browse the IS-F section some, there are a few IS-F here riding Flushed without rubing though.

Yeah Stefan, I paged through a few threads and checked them out. Not saying they are extreme by any means but they do look good. It's only a 3" lip for the rear but if they wanted to run a safer offset I'm sure it could have been done, plenty of clearence between the caliper and the backside of the face.

I'm pretty sure that's a 3.5" lip size in the rear, I know because of how many of 3" lips I've seen and that is deff bigger. I would be willing to do a fender pull to run a lip like that

I thought it was a 3", I'll double check it later. For some reason, brush lips always look bigger then chrome. Maybe I'll opt for this instead of chrome...

Nope, no shaving. But like Stefan said, it RUBS! The quarter panels and fenders are as is from the factory. Maybe the guy will get lucky and they will "auto" roll themselves.

I don't believe they release the offsets. No fender mods on the car but if they were to do it, shaving the quarters is a must with an offset in the rear like that. Maybe a smaller tire as well to get a better stretch so less rubbing.
