Im lowered on RSR DOWN's. Can I still run this same 19inch setup? I have a black 350 Fsport and Im thinking Gunmetal might be the way for me to go.

Anybody know what the stock 3IS FSport wheels weigh?

I'm loving the Velgen VMB5 in 19s and the Vossen CVTs. I'm leaving towards the Velgens, though. All of them look great on the 3IS.

I too have a 350 FSport. I ran 19x9.5 +35 in rear with a 265/30 nitto invo tire in rear and was rubbing. I was on TEIN S-Tech springs. A bit lower than the RSR Downs. From MY experience, you shouldn't rub with the RSR Downs, but I would recommend a 255 or 245 tire instead.

For a primarily "flat" (no lip or concave) wheel, a high offset is ideal.

SSR has the new GTV03 wheel 19x8.5 +38 for the front and 19x9.5 +45 for rear. Very similar to the Velgen and Niche wheel with a better offset for tucking it in and lowering it a bit more.

Just by coincidence, they have the 3IS Fsport on the wheels page.
