Default Test fitted some Five AD wheels on the IS earlier...

They came off of a 2IS, and tire size/offset isnt quite right.. they have 225/35 and 265/30's on there. I need to step up the front to a 235/35 and step the rear down to a 255/30... Offsets seem great though.

Just need to take them back off, repaint the wheels, and throw new tires on...

19x8.5 +30
19x9.5 +35

Looks great!

I'm assuming your car has been lowered. If so, which springs are you on? Why do you need to downsize the rear tires? Just curious.

Lowered on RS*R Down springs. The rear tires are 265/30 right now, they rub when tucked, so im going to a 255/30. Fronts are 225/35, and look a bit small, so i went with a 235/35. Will probably put the tires on this weekend..

You can see the fender isnt really the issue, as far as clearance goes.. its where the fender meets the bumper.. it angles inward..
