Default whats similar to the is350

if im looking to get some used HRE, BBS, etc....what forums should i look into. what cars share the same pattern and offsets as the is350?

id like 19" rims with a deep dish and mesh. similar to HRE C2 or 540 series, or work vs-xx.

most likely you'll be looking for wheels from a GS300/430, some from the Supras and SC300/400 will work also, but check the offsets. The G35 coupe and 350z wont work, but some wheels from the G35 Sedan will work as well. you'll probably want the fronts offsets to be about 35+ or higher and rear needs to be around 38+ or higher. the only other issue i can forsee is BBK clearance. i was looking for used wheels as well and finally gave up and just bought some new wheels for my IS 250.

you need to specify widths when you talk about offsets, otherwise it's useless. i probably guess you are talking about 8.5 front and 9.5 rear?

i knew i forgot something.. 8.5" front and 9"-10" rear widths. also keep the tire sizes in consideration.

yeah indeed that would be pretty close to the 2gs setup, and i think some ls400/430 setup as well. not sure about the g35 sedan but i wouldn't be surprised

if you get 10 i would probably add couple mm to the offset number in the rear, just to be safe.

i was reading a post from SocalSC4 awhile back and he mentioned the fitments for the 2GS and 2IS were interchangeable. i was pretty surprised to find that out. thankfully the 2IS can take a more agressive setup than the previous gen IS.
