Smile 19" wheel for IS300

Folks,

I personally don't like to use the spacer. Any recommendation on which wheel will fit the IS300 perfectly.

I prefer 5 spokes and max of 19 inches wheel. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Pictures are more than welcome.

Thanks all

This was my old set up. Not too aggressive but just enough to look flush.

19x8.5 +35
19x9.5 +36

Dropped about 1.5-1.75 all around. Rear fenders rolled.

I agree. Type 1 (less concave) if I recall correctly.

Can I do the wheels only without dropping but still have the aggressive look?

yo cant have a aggressive look with out a drop
I went springs but that wasn't good enough ,ride quality sucked and was not low enough

coils are the best way just save up and get coilovers you don't have to ride as low u can adjust them to how ever you want
