Default Getting 18's now, input from 18" wheel owners please

So was originally was getting some STR 607s 19s but they are way back-ordered and got a smoking deal on some Lorenzo 18" wheels 8s in the F and 9.5 in the R my question is that my rears are +32 offset and will mount some 245s will I be good or will I need fender work?

I love that you were wanting our wheels. The 607 should be in within 3 weeks. I was going to run them on my 350, but had them on my last car (pontiac g8 gt). The wheels you ended up with are beautiful though. Keep checking in with us, New things coming...pm me if you ever need anything. I'm the GM for STR Racing Wheels.

Its awesome to know that STR GM also drives a lexus, yeah I would of loved those wheels on my IS but maybe in the near future... much appreciate your input I had a post earlier about the 607s wish I would of known earlier I might of just waited a couple more weeks, but I got those Lorenzos for a steal and didnt want to pass them up, and one question will you guys ever be making some 19's staggered in bronze? that I would definitely like for my next set of wheels.

An 18x9.5 et32 with a 245/40/18 will be good specially if you don't plan on dropping it that low.

My rear volk gram lights are 18x9.5 et12 and I'm running a 235/40/18. Rolled fenders and you're good to go.

Thats a sexy look, really good look thanks for your input, will the fronts also be ok with +32 offset.... im guessing will have to roll once I drop it?

I've just recently bought 2 Lexus. My daily 07 IS350 and my drift project SC400. We will be doing 19" in our titanium color this year. If you haven't seen it, check out the website str-racing.com (I hope I'm not breaking forum rules. I'm not trying to sell, just showing a finish on my wheels.) Look at the GTR 706 in titanium(best picture). It's like bronze but better. It's almost antique looking in person. Anyone ever want to trade some wheels for intake, exhaust, coilovers etc, I'm always down to barter.
