Oh my bad. Lol. Well Idk what tires I want yet :/ this is how it is now. There no finger gap. All I'm concern is will it clear my is350 brakes and if it's gonna poke or what not and I'm looking at a stretch but don't know what tires I should go with. So new set up are 18x9 offset of +35 for the front and 18x10.5 offset +20 in rear is what I'm looking at but before I buy I just like inputs and making sureName:  10250166_693525697352118_197484393750048882_n_zpsswumunfm.jpg

What are the new wheels and what are the specs of your old ones?

I can tell you that 18x9 +35 will be close to flush up front if you zero out the camber. With natural camber, it'll look less aggressive than your current setup.

The rear will poke out a bit, but will be a good fit with some negative camber and a mild stretch.

Hi guys. Im looking to sell my 350Z and buy a IS250 manual. I currently have two sets of wheels for my Z.
-First set are Volk TE37 19x8.5+29 with 245/35/19 and 19x9.5+32 with 265/35/19
-Second set are BRAND NEW Work Meister M1 3p 18x10+10 with 255/35/18 and 18x11+11 with 275/35/18

I'd prefer to keep the Work wheels as they're a few weeks old. What hope do I have of them fitting the lexus? Otherwise how well will the TE37s fit? Much thanks!

Hey guys, so I'm wondering about these set of wheels im looking to buy.

Varrstoen ES111, 18x9.5 +30 and 18x10.5 +30.

I've seen this setup on another member iinkz, and saw that he needed to roll/pull and relocate his tabs and fenders. Im wondering if there's a way to avoid any of this? if not I can get a friend to help me with rolling/pulling but i'm not familiar with relocating the tabs!

Rear will have a slight poke, but with a roll, and with that tire size, you might be able to get away with the natural camber. Not 100% sure.

With the front, I think the offset might be too high. These are my fronts (18x9.5 +30).


You can see that it comes pretty close to hitting the arm, and that's with barely any negative camber. A +40 would bring the rim 10mm closer to that arm.

Any one got opinions on a good fitment for a RWD 2007 is250 for the Varrstoen ES1

I'm looking to go with 19's

I'm sure it's been asked, but I can't find any posts.

Thanks.

The easiest thing to do is find a pic of the kind of "stance" you want (or something similar) and work from there. That's exactly what I did.
Find a pic. What's "good" to you may be "bad" to someone else. Don't leave it up to the subjective. How are we supposed to know what you think looks good?

I love that there are people on here simply reading everyones question and posting responses. Everybody's questions gets answered! Lol thats awesome. Anyways after owing 8 Hondas from S2000, to turbo EG's and TL-S I finally got out the Honda game and bought a beautiful luxury package IS350.

The rim in question is KOING SSM 18X8 +45, 18X9+50. The front rim is pretty much exact spec as the oem rim, the rear is only .5" wider. The offsets are 'weak' compared to most of the rims posted on here.

These should clear without fender rolling correct?
Shouldn't have rubbing issues right? I know it depends how long I go but i plan on going to just barely tucking tires, no finger gap.
Being 18x8+45 in the front that wont be a problem for the front caliper as it is pretty much oem size?
What tire size do you guys recommend? I'd like a small stretched look to it since my offsets aren't aggressive.
I might want to add spacers to both front and rear for a more flushed with fender look. Can somebody give me insight on how much I should probably go?


not my picture but just a reference for the rim.

Guys, if I was to run 19x9.5 and 19x8.5s, what would be the proper offset fur a perfect flush fitment? The wheels I'm looking at come in +40/+35(front). Is that enough? Many thanks in advance.
