If you're looking for some stretch... Get some 225/35 (fronts) & 245/35 (rears). It will give you a nice mild stretch. Fender mods... Just roll the rears and take ahead gun to the fender liners in the front. Also a rear camber kit will help if you're wanting to go low. Good luck

 

Looking to get another set of wheels with a lot of lip. Thinking about 19x9s (f) & 19x10s (r)... Something a +11 or 13 will work? How much lip can I expect with that setup?? My fenders are already rolled and grinned down, Rear cambered -3, and front fender liners are already gone. Thanks in advance

 

Hi, I am new to the Lexus forums, but not new to the fitment community. Just purchased an 07 is250 6 speed.

I need advice on wheel fitment, currently on X-package wheels with 215/40 and 235/40 Continental DWS with F&R 20/25 mm spacers.

Front and rear fenders have been rolled, sitting on Megan coilovers.

I want to use my existing tires and go 18x9.5 +22 & 18x10.5 +22. Any clearance issues? (I don't feel like running on 35 series with 19's atm).

 

Front will sit perfect with the static camber the car will pull with dropping it. The rear will work but most likely require the camber to be adjusted positive a bit via upper control arms or a small spacer to sit as flush. Overall the numbers work perfect.

 

Damn this thread is so epic!

 

^ i am going to commit suicide cause he said "epic"

 

run your tires off you stock rims, lower to tuck about the top 1/3 of the tire, and you should be good.

this is incorrect, have you ever seen 10.5+22 on an IS?



why would he need a spacer or positive camber. most people having to end up pulling slightly with 10.5+22 cause they arent low enough and dont have enough negative camber.

stock IS's cant adjust rear camber
you mean poke like crazy
only thing thats correct outta that statement

please dont ill-advise people about wheel offsets. if they dont turn out the way you described, they end up bummed or having to do more fender work then origanally wanted.

 

good job MV350!!! i wonder where ccdan got his info

*edit ~ that was his 1st post and that's what he had to say. wrong forum perhaps?

 

Love this freakin car!

What color is this?

It looks kinda purplish/blueish gray in the 1st pic, i love that!

im guessing so haha, i had to chime in kinda a crack head when it comes to 2is wheel setups

 

hey guys what kind of fender work do you recommend for this setup:

18x8.5 +32f 225/40/18
18x9.5 +27r 245/40/18

 

You might be right on 19's kinda look past that. I've only messed with 18's so tucking tire you can go a bit more aggressive due to the camber gain. Could be argued though either way as it is the aggressive wheel thread which covers, flush, poke, stretch so it's all up the the cars owner as to what they want.

 

the front you dont have to do anything, rears might rub a tad. shave a bit or roll it

ive messed with 18',19's, and 20's.

i could show examples of tons of offsets on my own cars.

there isnt much camber to gain by going to smaller wheels. the most STOCK camber you can get out of a 2is is about -5.7* and thats with being as low as i was(tucking rim on 19's). any average drop your gunna be about -3*.

if you see here he was asking on how it would fit, you said run a spacer in the back, when actually you almost have to pull with those offsets.

the reason i posted the first pic, is because that is unsprung suspension at full droop. meaning 18 or 19x/10.5+22 will poke the same amount.

the 2is fenders are farely shallow, so 18x9.5/10.5+22 is aggressive already.

i also realize that it is up to the owner on how much poke stretch and everything he wants on his car. all i was saying is please do not mis-inform people on an offset that you have completely figured out yet.
i try to give the best advice i can only because ive f*d with so many different setups

 

Dirty....still have to clean her.

18x9.5 (static camber w/just dropping the car)
18x11.5 (rolled no pull rear upper adjustable camber arms adjusted 2-3mm shorter than stock)

 

lol ...... I knew it was gonna happen, Dan why did you take the lm5's ?? that's why I was trying to sell the classics, lm5 = pure sex !!!!!!! well I guess I can get ccdub 20's from you hopefully by Feb .... currently going on my 4th building of this year (64 impala ss)
