Default Wheel sizing problem please help!!!!!!

I bought my 04 is300 in June and I can't find a company that makes deep dish wheels for the car. Axis makes 1-2" lips I want at least 2" in the front. What off set has someone used to get wheels with a nice lip to fit on the car? I'm looking to have the wheels to tuck under the fenders. I'm looking to do 19"s. I know people make them fit I see pics of the cars on line but no one ever responds when you ask them.



thanks, warren

you bought the wrong car expecting to fit huge lips my friend. you will need to camber the HELL out fo your wheels, or you should look into adding a fender flare or doing a custom widebody.

even a 10 inch wheels with a +35(give or take) wont give you a HUGE lip. and you will need to roll and pull your stock fender

You can go with 18x8/9 staggered with a +20 offset. That will get you close to a 2" lip in the front. But will have rubbing issues. You will have to pull and roll your fenders to make them not rub. You will have to get -neg camber going, which will wear out the inside part of your tire. Oh dont forget to really stretch your tires.
