Default 18' or 19' wheels for my is350

I have an 07 IS350 and want to get Advan RS wheels for it. I wanna get 19's but I'm worried it might be too big. Anybody have experience with 19's?

19's are the way to go. I had 20's and made it work and was slammed. Most people actually upgrade to 19's.

When I was looking for wheels, 19s were my first choice and 18s were my second. I happened to get a good deal on my 18s and have no regrets. I can run stock tire size which is nice.

19s are perfect for the IS. Nice wheel choice, as well.

19s if you want a full wheel well and don't care about the probably higher wheel weight. Yes, you can get 19s that are lower in weight; but in 18" there seems to be a wider assortment.

rear was 19" x 10" offset +35 i think i was running 265/30 and i think the front was 19" x 9" offset +25 running 225/35 but rear needs camber adjustment if you don't want to roll the fender..

i have to agree on running 19" wheels. some make it work with 18" if you're willing to ride low. and dont like the fender to tire gap. others just like how 19" look rather then 18. choice is yours. i'm running GS-F 19" wheels on my car at the moment. while i debate which mod i want to do next. aggressive wheels. air suspension. or some body work. dont know.





sitting on D2 coilovers and GS-F wheels 19x8.5F, 19x9.5R
