My part out thread is posted in the classifieds, if anyone wants any of my parts

 

Sorry I know this is an old thread but wanted to know what mirrors are on your car?

Also, I love those Velgen VMB5, I need to get a set in silver.

Thanks in advance

 

Stock mirrors that came on my 2010 IS lol.

And thanks, I really miss those wheels

 

The silver finish is a great choice. It gives the car a nice clean look

 

Agree, I think I'll order these this spring.

@Velgen - do you sell direct or just through distributors? Looking at your website it looks like only distributors.

@Bob, any feedback with the 20's? With lowering the car did you have to roll the fenders? Do they rub when turning @20's?

Just trying to understand fitment of the 20's. Sorry to bring up an old thread BoB, but your car looks fantastic and I would love to do the same offset/size of wheel. Just trying to get some feedback.

Again, any advise is appreciated.

 

Nah don't worry about it. I actually got a GS so I'm still lurking around the forums. I needed to roll my fenders because of how low I was. When I was higher I didn't need any fender rolling. At first I was at about a 2 inch drop with minor rubbing (probably just the plastic fender lining which I eventually just rubbed through). When I dropped it more and tucked almost all of the tire, I definstly needed to roll the fenders.

Tire size is also important because it can also cause you to rub. Wheels were 20x9 +35 and 20x10.5 +45. The last setup I had wih the bronze chrome VMB8s I ran a 225/30/20 up front and a 255/30/20 in the rear

 

Thanks Bob, I really appreciate the feedback. Last question, I swear lol. So the pics on page 16 are those the 2 inch drop or is that when you had to get your fenders rolled?

 

In those pics, it's actually more than a 2 inch drop, I'm not sure exactly how much. Sorry I've been through a couple different setups with this car. No fender rolling was needed there because I already rubbed through the plastic lining. I only rubbed on medium to large dips

 

Sorry forgot to mention that I did relocated the fender tabs up front cuz they were rubbing against my tire.

 

Awesome, Thanks for all of your help.

 

We do not sell direct but you can PM me and I'll send you to a dealer near you.

Thank you

 

I like your build with the silver wheel those were the best! keep up the good work bro. This make me so sad to let my car go because it is the same color =[ .

 

Hey guys,
