hi, im not an ISX50, but i was hoping someone could help me out with my tire situation.

2007 ES350 i just bought a set of 20" rims

fronts 20x8.5 +35
rears 20x9.5 +40

i plan on running 225/35/20 fronts and 245/35/20 rears. yay or nay? if someone has these tire specs on a similar rim size could you post up some pictures so i can get an idea on what to expect? i do plan on rolling or shavign my fenders since im lowered on coilovers.

also, i read a few pages back about melting the liner and pushing it in so it doesnt rub? how does that work, where can i get it done in socal, and is it really necessary to do so?

Some sweet rides in here, i just recently got an IS and im trying to soak up knowledge right now before i purchase wheels and suspension. 19" is the only thing im 100% positive about, 19x8.5 + _? front 19x10+20 rear. I know rear fenders will need to be rolled, but do you roll the front aswell and are camber kits needed? haha sorry Ill keep doing my research.

Man, the background will match your new wheel finish perfectly.

Ive looked through all pages of this thread and am no stranger to flush but new to the isx50 fitments. Ive had multiple 240sxs and 2 350zs with very aggressive wheels & offsets.

19x9.5+23 & 19x10.5+24 Work Meister S1 3pc is what I am purchasing. Tire sizes are probably going to be 225/35 & 235/35 dropped on Stance GR+ Coilovers. ANYONE RUNNING THESE EXACT SIZES?

I know that rolling the rear fenders is a must but what else should I expect? Seems like no matter what everyone seems to rub fender liner in the front for even some of the more conservative sizes because of the tab where the bumper meets fender. With a conservative drop, will I rub in the rear with 3 passengers? etc?
