I don't recommend 20"s on 2IS because the stiff ride. Plus yours is a awd on a small motor, and you are in a city has 4+ months of snow.

I do see a few members in NorCal back out their 20"s and went to 19"s instead.

FYIO,

Default Calling all wheel gurus

Ok so I picked up a set of Advan RS yesterday and the rear is anything but flush. Its a 18x9 +45 and I already have a 5mm spacer in there. I have some negative camber but I plan on raising the car in the rear for a even drop all around. The front is pretty flush but I rub with a 235/40/18 so I'll probably stretch a 225. What kind of spacer would I need for proper flushness? 20mm? Check it out

Merry Christmas

If the front is rubbing just take a heat gun, heat the plastic linner and push it in so it will stop rubbing. Maybe you could try 245/35/18 if they let you exchange it. unless its too wide for your wheel. or you can go lower profile like a 235/35/18. It depends on the roads around you if you see many potholes or not, etc.
As far as the rear I think a 20mm spacer would be too much, wait for more responses but i think a 15 or 10 on the rear would be fine, it depends if you wanna roll fenders, etc.

BTW i LOVE those wheels, those are high quality and very light.

Yeah they are 18 lbs! btw I did a ton of heat gun'ing to the fender liner already. I'm running Nitto Invo's and they are pretty beefy compared to other brands in the same size. So you think an additional 10mm would flush it up? seems like I'd need something thicker. I should of took pictures without the 5mm in there.

Maybe there is someone here that will let you borrow a 20 or 15 mm spacer in your area, that way you get the perfect one. Never mind on the profile thing I think 18's look better with a 40 profile, 35 its too thin and makes your wheel gap bigger.

Im not necesarily a wheel guru, but matching the numbers: mine are 19x9.5 with a +36 offset, yours its a 9inch wide and have a +45mm offset (the difference is 9mm). Also yours are 9inch wide and mine are 9.5 inches wide which means that there is a 1/4 of an inch or 6mm less than mine since mine are wider.
So your its (6mm + 9mm = 15mm) more tucked than mine.
So a 15mm Spacer would make it fit exactly like mine. Mine are pretty flush and with my tire and lowering set up I had to roll my fenders because of rubbing. But i have big 275/35/19 tires......You can get a 20mm spacer and stretch a tire but thats your choice you will rub quite often, especially with people in the back
The question is, what tires are you running on the rear?? and what are you lowered on??

You need a pretty big spacer lol. Advan RS's are so sick but why would you buy a wheel with such fail specs?

I come across a lot of very nice wheels for nice prices, lets just say these were practically given to me

I don't know your rear tire size, but if your pics are with the spacers installed, something just doesn't quite look right on your setup.

I'm running a 9" rear with a 40 offset....which should be the same as your +45 with a 5mm spacer.

Here's a pic. It doesn't look nearly as tucked in as on your car. For reference, I have 265/35/19

Plus, on the measurements that I've done, the vert has *slightly* more clearance, and the left sides on both the sedan/vert stick out a little further than the right.

Unless of course the negative camber is exaggerating the effect

exactly I'm going to raise the car the rear a bit and see how it looks

from you're pic is almost looks like you're at 0 degrees in the rear, maybe -0.5

Default IS250 awd wheel fitment

Hi,
First post on this great forum here and still digging thru the search results for the answer to my question. We just bought a used IS250 AWD and need winter tires/wheels.

Can anyone chime in and tell me if these wheels/tires fit the IS250 AWD?
Here is the link to my local classifieds
http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...AdIdZ176996320


I don't know the specs of the wheels but I think they are +32 offset...still trying to confirm.
