Sorry for the crap shots but just haven't taken better ones.

18x9.5, 235/40/18 front
18.10.5, 265/35/18 rear

H&R springs on my 08 IS250 AWD. No problems at all front, do rub in the rear but nothing bad. Planning on rolling soon. Been running them now for about 5 months.







Hope this helps.

That's burns in the clear coat from someone not knowing how to buff properly.

All I got to say is wow! I love both your cars toadolson, and vroomin. Toadolson is there anyway you have anymore pics, I think I like the meaty tires look! I also like the idea of bigger tire = more comfort.

I've got the NT03's in 18x9.5 all the way around. +45 et up front and +35 et in the rear. I run a 225-40/18 in the front and a 265-35/18 in the rear and have no rubbing, although I did have to make a little room for the rear by ever so slightly rolling the fender lip up. I may have moved it 1-2mm.

I didnt do any modifications to the front fenders at all except what was already eaten away from my fender liners from the 19's I used to have.
