I'm really diggin these wheels.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ENKEI-RAIJIN-RIMS-HYPER-SILVER-18x8-5-5x114-3-38-4-NEW-WHEELS-/281078564866?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Wheels&hash=item4171968802&vxp=mtr
Would they fit our car? Bolt pattern seems to coincide with what I've seen in some posts. If they do, has anybody tried these rims?

Thanks,

Veach

20x10 +25 with 245/45/20 tires REAR

I'm lowered on H&R springs and also have the rear camber kit installed. Rear fenders are rolled. Am I safe? Will the tires stretch much? Am I going to have to be more than -5 camber?

1. That's a good tire size for those specs in the rear, you'll get a good stretch and it won't necessarily make it unsafe. I wouldn't go any narrower than 245 for those.

2. Since you are only on H&R Springs and you already have your fenders rolled (assuming its a good roll) you should be okay as far as fitment goes. If you ever wanted to go lower though, you would need to pull the fenders out a little and relocate the rear fender--bumper tabs.

-- It'll be really close though, and pretty flush for 20" specs

btw, I just noticed you have 245/45 written down for the tire specs. That 45 profile will kill you.. I don't know if that was a typo or if that's really what you really plan on running.

Anyhow, I suggest going with 245/35.

Stock 2010 is250, want to buy some work wheels but how big can I go without rubbing? Or should I mess with suspension before I get rims, but I'd rather get rims and leave it stock suspension

Many people would say a lowered 2IS with stock rims > stock height 2IS with aftermarket rims

But it's your choice. Also, by big I'm not sure if you mean diameter, width, offset, etc so you need to narrow your question? It also depends if you want to do modifications and if you want to be flush, aggressive, or more on the conservative side? Do you want to be VIP or aggressive/sporty look? There's a lot of questions you need to ask yourself first..

with those specs, I wouldn't... but I'm assuming you already have these tires thats why you are choosing to go with them?? If thats the case, you can always try them out...

Most and ever one 20 runs either 25 or 30 series. I'm
Yet to see 45 series on an aggressive offset. Too much meat for such a small car on 20s.

Yeah I thinking do my suspension first cause I'd rather have stock rims with suspension then just stock suspension with aftermarket wheels. What kind of Megan coilovers are a good fit for 2010is250 ?

Default Need help with Rial Catania for winter setup

Hi all,

I have a 2010 IS350 RWD. I purchased it from a friend this summer since he's moving out of the states. It is my DD car and i like it alot. Since I live in the New England area so i am thinking about winter setup/tires.

I have 2 options:
1. Order LM60 from tirerack that will fit my stock 18'', hear it is not as good as Xi3 for snow & ice (most economical option)
2. Order 4 17x8 Rial Catania, offset 45mm, Backspacing: 6.18", Bolt Pattern: 5-114; with tires 225/45R17 X-Ice Xi3. This will be a square set up. (my prefer option)

Please let me know if you have any experience with option 2 or if it will work. I wouldn't prefer wheel spacers.

Thank you!!

I will eventually drop my IS250 on coils with a finger gap and I'm looking for some advice for the perfect flush setup (no poke and no spacers)

So my question is, what rim and tire specs will make it look 99%/100% flush without spacers?

I went through a couple of pages in this thread, the aftermarket wheels threads and the works but its like looking for a needle in the hay sack lol

These are the options I'm looking for next Spring, please feel free to comment if you know these are no good for my goal

1) Currently own
Forgestar F05

Front: 19 x 9 +18
Front Tire: 225/40/19

Rear: 19 x 10 +18
Rear Tire: 245/40/19

2) Looking to purchase from a friend
Rays Volk Racing GT-F

Front: 19 x 8.5 +35
Front Tire: 225/40/19 (Going to my tires)

Rear: 19 x 9.5 +35
Rear Tire: 245/40/19 (Going to my tires)

3) Kijiji Sale
Works VS-XX (square setup off a 350z, weird setup, front might be too wide)

Front: 19 x 10 +26
Front Tire: 245/35/19

Rear: 19 x 10 +23
Rear Tire: 245/35/19

18x9.5 +12, 18x10.5 +12 Varrstoen ES3s. Tires are 225/40 and 225/45. I'm lowered on Tien S Techs with Fsport shocks. Not really too low but will I have to roll fenders or will it also need a pull? Thanks.
