Hi i m a noobie at this forums, just picked up a is300 couple months ago. Was looking to get some wheels, whats size rims should i go with? I was thinking 18 or 19'. What u think? ( 18x8? 18x8.5? 19x8? ) any tips?

im running 19x8.5 all the way around, had to roll the fenders but other than that no problems, i have a full cwest kit on too, i wanna put like 10mm spacers of the back to bring them out a bit more, ill post pics to give you an idea

 

does anyone have problems with spacers????

 

What do kinda problems are you inquiring about? I have both Ichiba V1 and V2 on my car and they've been fine to my knowledge.

 

I also have 19x8.5 all around & had to roll my fenders. But I had my fenders pulled about an inch so I could fit my 19x9.5 Works in the rear. I was thinking about getting 10-15mm spacers but don't want to deal with having to put in new studs, so I'm gonna try 20mm spacer for the rear with my 19x8.5 wheels. If it's too big maybe I'll just pull my fender a little more or get smaller spacers... who knows...

trial and error

You should determine your rim size by how low you want to go, road conditions in your area, and what kind of rubber you want on your car. If you want to slam your car out & have some beefy tires then get 18's because it's not as easy to do on 19's and on 19's you need thinner tires which isn't great for crappy roads..

 

not the greatest of pics but havent taken any new ones lately

 

really depends on how aggressive you want your car to look or how well you want it to perform, 19s would look nice if you're low enough, 18s would look good too, you wont need to stomp your brakes as hard unless they super light

 

Whatever you do get coilovers first, then wheels

 

need to lower that thing, you're rolling 4x4 status!



19's are nice but if you want to go super low get 18's
That's my problem now, I am on 19's and have coilovers..
I want to go lower, but I rub way too much already...

 

well i do live in west virginia

lol no seriously im gonna lower it but i just dont have the loot for coilovers yet

plus in the long run im not sure if im gonna stick with those wheels

 

Oh man west virginia... I was there once... scary place
Not just the people either, the hills and roads are pretty crazy, and sooooooo much wilderness and wild animals!

 

lol thats how i am about philly except instead of wild animals its animal like people lol

 

hahahaha west virginia roads are scary too
In west virginia you have to avoid hitting animals, huge rocks and tree branches on the road.
In philly we have to watch out for giant potholes and crackheads.

haha

 

those silly crackheads
