I have a 225 in the front instead of a 235 now but I had to have the fenders rolled in the front and the rear. The fender liner in the front also had to be cut so that the wheel wouldn't rub against it as much.





This was when I had 235's on the front and 245's in the rear. You can see that if I had kept the 235's I would've been forced to raise the car up to prevent the wheel from destroying the fender.



This is my current set up. I'm going to be picking up fenders or possibly flares sometime in the future because I want to go with a much much more aggressive offset all around.



No wheel gap.

If you check out this link you'll find that we test fit a set of 18x9 and 18x10 Work VS-KF's on Solo's car which has fender flares. The wheels had a +13 offset all around but Solo has a 8mm spacer in the front so it is essentially a +5 offset. There's hope for us 1st Gen IS's.

I am looking at importing a set of Weds Bellona from Japan



They are 19 x 8.5 with a 42+ offset on the front and 19 x 9 with a +38 offset on the rear

Will I get away with these wheels with the car lowered approx 2" on Tein CS coilovers?

Cheers
