PMok

they are 8.5" and 9.5", +40
I told Endless I wasn't gonna lower the car so they picked conservative offset. With the 35 series tires I picked I think it was a perfect fit.

stock height guys, please PLEASE do not listen to ppl saying 'lower it an inch', thats fsport drop = fail drop. AT LEAST get eibach 250 springs as the minimum drop. I had eibach 350(fsport) springs and when you put 19" rims on that drop it actually looks worse than having 18's...

to the guys who have fsport springs, if you got them for their progressive nature/better ride over stock due to lower ride height, then thats great but dont call them 'drop springs'. Its a mechanical type upgrade not a visual upgrade.

i wish someone gave me this advise when i first joined CL...

Sport package will also have the ventilated front seats, reverse-tilting side mirrors, auto-dimming mirrors, telescoping (powered) steering wheel, HIDs, in addition to the items above.
When I did 18's, the ride felt exactly the same as the stock wheels/tires did for the most part (I know, no big surprise there). But although the fitment looked pretty good, it probably needed a good drop which I was not going to do.

The move to 19's did make the overall look better IMO without a drop, and the ride didn't suffer too much. We have pretty bad roads over here too and it's not a huge change in the ride but it is somewhat noticeable.

Those wheels are really nice PMok. Those AME wheels are probably one of the top wheels I would choose if I had to pick out from all after market wheels.

Bump.

Anyone with Linea Corse LC818 or Avante Garde M310 on stock height?

Or any other wheels, just looking to get an idea of how it looks since I don't plan on dropping my ride!

Sorry for the bad quality of my cell phone's camera, this is the sport suspension, stock 18in.


I'll eventually take good pics, whenever I get to wash the car and it's not raining...

I do not plan on lowering it.

Reviving this thread... Would like to see some more pics of aftermarket rims on stock ride height...

POST EM UP!

I'm thinking about getting 19s but still want to stay at stock height because I just upgraded to the sport package suspension and am loving it.

I remember thinking the same thing.... Only a matter of time until you realize you need to be lowered

I picked up 2012 isf suspension for my 350.

I'm just really curious whether it'll lower my car and improve handling...

I considered ISF suspension but one the experts on here recommended against it because it is meant for a heavier car and it is already harsh on that car... So would be even harsher on the lighter is350. But that is just what one person said and not from experience so take it with a grain of salt. I'm not sure about the ride height though.

Would be curious to know how it works out once you install.

For those of you worried about being too low or having a harsh ride, go with H&R sport springs. It's 1.4" but still ton's of clearance. I had six inches to the bottom of the front of the stock bumper (before my lip) still. It rides comfortable like stock, but still has improved handling and much better for body roll.

Here is mine.
I would like to lower at some point.
I am running 19X9 in the front and 19X10 in the rears, 235/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rears.
