Default Old school Panasport G7

What's up guys, I'm Jill. I just picked up this IS300 back in December and I couldn't ignore that darn modding bug! Here it is when I got it, stock, with a slight drop.



Then the IS300 mod bug bit me almost immediately! First, the front end face lift then... now, wheels...


I had these Panasport G7 C5C's on my 1990 MK3 Supra. But due to the high offset, I needed to run an extra 5mm spacer in the front and a 25mm adapter in the rear, just to make the stance a little more aggressive. 17x8+45 and 17x9+52 (estimated) with 235/45/17 and 275/45/17. I loved it on the Supra... but decided to play a little musical wheels.


So now, the IS300 went in for a little bit of a fender shaving just to ensure a good fit... slapped these bad boys on and voila! they fit practically perfectly! Tires are 215/45/17 and 235/45/17, respectively. YYYYEEEEAAAAHHHH.... Old school wheels on the IS... I love it. It's not the most agressive set up, but it's clean, and is perfect for a daily driver... so here you go, just thought I'd share!


I'll post some better pictures with some fitment shots at a later date.... it's been raining...

No need to go lower. PERFECT for daily driving. Clears driveways with a bit of angle and speed bumps at low speeds.

Some better recent shots...
