3.75" front 5.25" rear. I'm completely with you on the 19's - I think the car looks best with them however really low on 18's looks great in person; really like how low the car physically sits which in Florida isn't an issue. Your car looks great!

Depends on the offset; keep in mind with doesn't mean they stick out more. There's actually another 1/2" behind the wheel to the spindle I'm not using so it's possible to got 10.5 without pushing the wheel out. just again like the 12.5" and 13" wide rear the tire selection is small and expensive.

Made some aircups so I can have the best of both worlds. Low but when I need to get in some place the tire may want to grab lift it. Car is way lower in video than will be normally but you get the point.

I don't wanna give that kinda info out :-). I'd be more than happy to look at any specs you have questions on though for assistance.

Hey Dan ...I noticed in the rear shot pic you posted the badge says is350, but one of your side shot pic I noticed IS250 front brakes.

Do you have an IS250 with IS350 badge ...or do you have an IS350 with IS250 front brakes?

it's an is350 with is250 brakes. smaller brakes have less over hang so the lips can be bigger due to so.

Ok so I am looking for a set of reps because i'm balling on a budget. I had a preorder for the ES112 19x9.5 +22 and 19x11+25 but Dayne at sonicmotors screwed up my order and now I have to wait a few more months now.

My car is on jackstands and I need some rims soon. I was ready to go all out and do all the fender work needed to fit those specs. I came across a deal on some used Linea Corse here locally with the following specs:

19x8.5 +15
19x10 +20

3 questions:
A) Are these specs significantly less aggressive than the Varrstoens 112? Are the offsets too
aggressive?
B) I'd like to achieve some flushness and bit of poke, what tire size can I run stretched?
- 225-35-19 and 245-35-19? Or is there an ideal size?
C) Would I need to run camber arms or can I get away with a fender roll?

Thanks!

First of all Linea Corse Lemans should be +38+43 I don't know where you got the +15+20. Check wheeldude.com I have the same wheel.

Varrstoen's are more aggresive

I would run 215/35/19 F 245/35/19 R

Get some wheel spacers to look flush

Work on your fenders to avoid rubbing

Thanks Lexx. I was on wheeldude.com and they do list the Lemans in those offsets:
http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/pro...oducts_id=5857

Lemans (5x114)
19 x 8.5 +15
19 x 10 +20

I dont see why not. The bolt patterns are the same. The bore size can be dealt with hubcentric rings.

Was hoping to get some suggestions from some of you. I'm getting some varrstoens 2.2.2 in 19x9.5 and 10.5 +12 all around and was wondering what kind of stretch did I need to run to fit these? I will be lowered on Megan ez and will have my fenders rolled and pulled. Also is a camber kit a must?

Debating on getting some VarrsToen ES 1.1.2 Front: 19x9.5+12 Back: 19x11+15, ive seen somewhere online where someone had them perfectly fine with some fender mods and dropped on coils. I just want to make sure the offset would be good or should i get the +25 option? Thoughts? And thanks ahead of time!

Edit: For a 2007 IS250

Can you send me links through message of what exactly you bought for your camber kit? I'm so confused with what is needed to camber my car.
