Looks good, any plans on lowering?

Thanks. Coils coming soon, still trying to decide on which i want to go with, as you can see im running some really meaty tires because comfort is still important to me lol

She will look racey! Bc racing seem to popular here. I'll probably be going with fortune auto coils next summer. They're made a few miles from me and have an awesome reputation.

Just had a good look through here and my setup isnt installed yet, but...

19x9+25 fronts on 215/35s
19x10+25 rears on 235/35s

I dont really want to go route of this whole "bumper tab" relocate as I have no idea where it is or how to relocate it ?
don't mind getting rolled fenders though as I do plan on tucking a bit all around.

Its going on extra low bcr's with 14/12k rates,

sorry guys I don't have an IS, I have an LS, but I was hoping to get some of your expertise on a set up I'm attempting.

Do you think I will be able to get away with just a fender roll or shave? I really DO NOT want to get into any fender mods, like pulling or cutting of any kind.

Rear has at least a full inch of poke, front a little less, but these photos are taken with the suspension on a jack, a few inches higher then stock, so it should tuck in somewhat when the car is at ride height.

Also I will be lowering the car on tanabe lowering springs, which should help a little more (or make it worse lol)

I'm in the process of refinishing these wheels now, so I'm wondering if I should bite the bullet and try to relip them or continue as is

Thanks

You can definitely get your fenders rolled and pulled to correct that. Depends who you go to and how well they can get it done. And lowering the car SHOULD help get rid of some poke, as the wheels will camber in a little but it's not gonna be anything drastic. I personally like how it looks!

Just wondering why many opt for 19s. is it just a matter of preference or is there more issues with 20s?

it is a matter of preference, but it does look more proportional than 20s which look HUGE (in my opinion).
the IS is as small as a civic so imagine putting dubs on one...

19" tires are more expensive than 20s, something to consider.

ok. Thats what i figured but thought id ask. To your point, Im wanting 20s because of cost of tires! Ive narrowed it down to this:

F: 20x9.5 , 225/30
R: 20x10.5 , 245/30..maybe 255
ill be happy with offset range for both between +15 to +20

20's look too big IMO. plus you have to run thinner tires with 20's vs 19's. HTX has terrible roads, so running rubber bands isn't a smart idea.

makes sense. Road condition is a huge factor. However is there a big real life difference between 30 side wall on 20 and 35 side wall on 19? Per tiresize.com, sidewall on 19 is ~17% bigger, but it doesnt take into consideration the stretch on a 10.5 wheel. And i dont know what 17% translates to in real life.

finally said **** it and just went with squared set up because i want to run these on my wrx too but

18x10 +15 all around. friggin love the poke fitment. that was my original goal! I rub hella up front with no fender mods. and rolled my rears and rub a **** ton on hard bumps. just need an aligment to max out OEM camber... i'll probably go with the megans camber arm kits all around eventually but for now I'll just run this set up until i go static jap low.

^nice, but to your comment the IS does not have factory camber adjustment. you will need those megan (or other aftermarket) camber arms to adjust and add more negative.

That is hellaflush!!! What's the Offset here?
