It seems 18" wheels on the IS-F is a rarity here. I'm looking at some new wheels and I've never really been a fan of 19s, and I'm definitely not getting 20s. So I need some pics of your 18" setup to inspire me. POST 'EM UP! (with specs).

Very few are running 18" wheels. The brake size is a big factor and not many can clear them.

There are a lot of 18"s that will clear our brakes fine. You just don't see a lot of people doing it. I have seen guys on here with 18" track set ups with meaty tires. I have stock GS 350 18's on my F right now. If those clear the brakes then plenty of after market wheels will.

There are pics in a few other threads, but two minutes of searching yielded these threads with pics on 18" wheels:

Hopefully these show up, I did a copy paste so you don't have to click those links.

On a positive note, I would like to say that even the 18's look great and proportional with the IS-F's slightly-larger-thanIS350-body.
I love and adore the IS-F and its lines, when the time comes to get one, I wonder if my 18x10" +22mm Deep Dish FR500's would fit well.















Amazing shots, imo.

Thanks for the pics IronNam.

This is a great shot. What are the specs on these wheels/tires?

Gymkata

18x10 +22 will not fit well at all, unless you plan to cut your fenders and want to put "show car only" amounts of camber to make it fit.

Gymkata

BTW, specs for those wheels/tires are in the first link I posted for you.

"18x9.5 wheels with +40 offsets and Nitto NT01 tires in size 275/35/18's"

Yea it would need to be 18x10 +38 for a wide tire set up.

What are you looking to achieve, visual performance or mechanical performance?

IronNam

I don't have an IS-F, personally, I was just wondering what's the widest 18's i could fill the wheel well with.
and mechanical performance. Say, an IS-F with a fender roll, how much wheel and tire can you fit and really use?

I have 18x10's +22 (at -9.75) on my Toyota Hilux that I autocross with on 245/40F 275/35R Nitto NT-01's
