Sweet lookign car, also nice finishing on the pics, they look great. As for the tpms these wheels accept them so you may want to double check and have them installed. The wheels simplyhave to be built for Lexus tpms.

Enjoy the new rollers!!

Nice Works. If you had gone for a less aggressive offset such as +35 up front or with 225/19/35 tires, would this avoid the rubbing issue. I noticed that another member had the same problems with his Work T1S running 235/19/35.

The Work wheels are definitely TPMS compatible.

If this rubbing, why not get the spacers?

Looking real good! 19" VS-XX on this car look fantastic and simply OG

I believe the low offset has something to do with your rubbing; not sure if spacers could help since they only push the wheels out more. The low offset in combination with meat-ay tires are probably the cause; I would run 225 with those offsets. And not all Work wheels are TPMS compatible, and even so, they need to be special ordered with TPMS compatibility.

Thanks for all the compliments. I had 15mm spacers installed for the front. I had no rubbing issue before with the 5zigen wheels. I guess because the new offset of the front wheels. Man, I am concerning about those front tires might wear out pretty soon. About the TMPS, they won't work with these wheels. Still thinking about making the "pipe bomb" or have them installed to the spare tire. I might also need to call Iforged to find out if they still carry those adapters. BTW, I've sold those 5Zigen wheels. I will do a new photoshoot next week.

I dont think the offsets are even low enough and if the rubbing is from the rear its because of the 275 tire in the rear IMO. Run a 265 and you'll be fine.

Yah the offsets for the rear could be lower but I think he said he has rubbing only when turning the front wheels; his front offsets are pretty low esp with 235 series.
