Default New here, 2011 IS350 F Sport

Well like it says, I am new here, been registereed for a long time but on a different account I believe. As of yesterday I am now a proud owner of a beautiful Lexus IS350 F Sport. I drove a 2008 back in 2009 and ever since I did, I knew I had to buy one of these cars. I have to say it is all I remember and more!!! This car is a lot of fun. The pervious owner had a good amount of F Sport upgrades done to it. Car has only 28,000 miles on the ODO.

I wanna ask something, I have been searching for the past couple days on tire fitment but hard to find a exact answer. I already have a set of wheels that are 19x9.5 in the rear and 8.5 in the front. I believe the offset is 40 but I can't find the correct paperwork on the offset. 40 offset will be the most extreme, do you guys think itll fit? Its the correct lug pattern of course also.

Here it is

I have a video of it, but can't get it embeded

Definitely a tight fitment in the front, rubs a tiny amount.

Looks good man! Should look into painting the front calipers and adding Lexus decals to make them pop!

It really is a complete package with none of the negatives of those German cars

Welcome to CL and nice ride. Look up the fender tab mod (if it's rubbing on the tab). It may also be rubbing on the gender liner. You'll have to search for where it rubs. Is it on full U turns or when you go over a bump?
