Nope! It actually came out pretty flush.

I'm on F-Sport and I guess the drop is pretty weak compared to the others. The rear tires are 265/30/19

Looks great!

I've seen Fsports with stock 18's look MUCH lower than your drop. When did you install the Fsports, recently? They don't look like they've settled yet.

Also, what kind of tires are those? Is there a reason why you didn't go with the 275 in the rears? It probably would've filled the gap better.

I've actually had the F-Sport for a while now so I'm not sure why they look like that. I thought going 275 with the rear might of been too much and didn't want to rub, but I guess it might of been better. The tires are General UHP's.

Niiice choice on wheels! I remember looking at Wheeldude's thread with the SGM and the Linea Corse like yours and thought to myself "I want that for my IS!" It's nice to see it on someone else's IS.

How many months have you had your Fsport springs? Was the amount of gap the same with the stock 18's as well? I would've figured with 19's, the wheel gap would have decreased a little bit.
