Car: 2006 Is350
Suspension: stock struts on Tien S-tech
Wheels in question: 18x8.5 Front +35 18x9.5 rear +40 ~ CCW classic reps eBay special
Tire size: Goodyear eagle GT 225/40/18 Front - 225/40/18 Rear
Fender mod: rears rolled flat,no work up front



My question is the seller offers a lower offset,I believe a +20 something. My main goal is to get away from spacers but still have something nice. I already have the tires in 18's and they are easy for me to get locally. If I go with a lower offset will it help me stear clear of those pesky spacers?

I can't speak on the fronts, but for the rears, 9.5 +20 and a stretched 225 tire should fit. You'll probably have to play with camber settings, worst case scenario you have to do a pull, but I don't think it will be necessary.

Up front you'll be fine, you'll rub on the plastic liner a little but there's nothing you can do about that and it doesn't hurt.
For the front, go with the +20. You may need a slight pull but I'd rather do that then get the +40, those will be a little sucken in. It depends on the look you're going for

what diffuser is that? I been thinking of putting an evo one to fit my IS

Danny can you post a pic from the back? I wanna see how much they stick out from the fender and how much camber you have. Also from the front if possible.

What tire size are you running?
