Also, it happens more than you think, make sure the dealer took the spring risers/stiffeners off the springs before you take possession. These are used for cars that are transported so they don't bottom out on the trailers.

I agree, this does happen a lot. I suspected this and checked but was disappointed to find that there were no risers in the spring. Mine has actually dropped quite a bit after driving it for 400 miles so the spring might need to settle. Still not even but it's much better. I might just drop the front .5 inch and leave the rear alone when springs are available.

I wonder if RC-F sized wheels/tires will fit on the F-Sport?

Front: 255/35R19
Rear: 275/35R19

* I would want a meatier look on the tires (especially the rears).
* I would want to lower the suspension some (not slam it) to close out any gap but still remain practical for daily driving.

I assumed just as much. Oh well, don't feel so bad guys, I drive a 2IS AWD on stock height for the time being. You could put a football (american...and possibly a soccer ball) through the gap

Exactly what I am looking for also. I don't want it slammed but I want the gap gone. Actually I want it to look exactly like the one in the Vossen thread, maybe even a little less aggressive on the drop and wheel setup. That one looks perfect

I love my RC 350 F Sport AWD, I just don't love the wheels and want to replace them with some all chrome wheels to match the chrome trim on the car. Does anyone know what size the wheels (rims, not the tires) are? i.e. 19 inch diameter, 5 lugs x 114.3mm x 8.5 inches wide? Tires are 235-40/R19. What is the offset? high positive, positive, neutral, negative or high negative? I believe it's positive to high positive and about +40mm off dead center. Anyone know for sure? Thanks!

Bumping for the same question^


Does anybody know what the width and offsets are for our stock 19" F-Sport wheels?

Years late but FWIW I hate the RC 350 F Sport wheels too. I just bought a 2016 (two years old off a lease) for a staggeringly great deal. Love the car (overall) but never liked the wheels in pics I saw and like them even less in person. Just like you, I find them too busy. Your term "Rat's nest" is a good description. And just like you, I focus on the NUMBER of actual "spokes" which is 20 (!!). For cleaning the damn wheels, each spoke has two sides for a total of 40 spoke sides, times 4 wheels for 160 spoke sides alone (plus individual circumference gaps between each spoke) all that have to be "rubbed" individually to clean and then again to dry. PITA doesn't begin to describe it; all for wheels that I don't even like when they're clean. BUT, I can't justify to myself the expense of buying new wheels; especially since I'm gonn'a need new tires soon too.
