Default Pics: IS350 Lowered on F-Sport with 19's
I just got this 06 last month and like most people on the forum I needed to drop it. So I bought the F-sport springs and installed them myself, it was a big job for me. The fronts took me 2.5 hrs on Friday and the rears took me another 2.5 hrs on Saturday.

I also picked up a set of used G35 rims, the 19'' Forged Rays. I got a set of blank center caps for the rims and stuck some Lexus emblems on them. I love the way the rims look on the IS with the aggressive offsets!

Before drop:


Only front springs installed:


All 4 springs installed:


Drop + Wheels!!!

Looks awesome! I'm planning to pick up a set of these springs too. How did you get the Lexus centercaps to fit onto the Rays?

Thanks! I got the blank center caps that fit the G35 wheels and the lexus logos from http://www.wesden.com/ - they fit perfect.

Are you using OEM lugs? What tire size are you running? Did you have to get hubcentric rings? Also interested in running the same setup.

I am running Mcguard tuner lugs, I got the set off Amazon for about $60 bucks with locks.

The rims came with the stock G35 sized tires so they are 225/40/19 and 245/40/19. I drove it a few miles and its rubbing a little on these tires. I am going to go get the recommended 225/35/19 and 255/35/19.

Yes I bought the 66.1 - 60.1 hubcentric rings and they seemed to put perfectly.
