Really he could not have gotten much narrower. I mean with 30 series tires that would be pushing it a little too much. If I were him I would try to heat gun the area where it is rubbing and if not, just cut the fender liner.

You happen to live in Vallejo, CA? If so, I think I saw your ride in person last weekend while heading over to a buddy's house. Nice whip man!

Default Vellano VSM custom 3 piece 19's

07 IS250 AWD

Wheels: Vellano 3 piece
Model: VSM
Size: 19x8.5 front and rear

TPMS Compatable

Staggered setup by custom ET

Tires: General Aclaim UHP
Size: 235/35/19

Thanks to Derrick at D2 Autosport for a great deal and a perfect fit.

2" drop Road magnet springs going in next week.


Here are pics of the Custom made 19"x 8.5" 3 piece Vellano VSM rims installed.

For those that have an AWD and want the staggered look without damaging the drivetrain or diminishing the handling and performance. You can have both!!!

If you go with a custom wheel, front and rear offsets will be altered to create a staggered look while flushing the fender perfectly and still running the same size tire in all around.

TPMS sensors installed on the Vellanos.

Winter and summer setups
