Default What do you guys think?

I am purchasing wheels for my SMG is350 within the next week. Pretty sure I am going with the Lumarai Morro silver with mirror lip. 18x8front 18x9.5rear. Havent see them yet on an is350, would be great for someone to help me with that. What do you guys think??? Lowering the car this weekend with Eibach prokit. Thanks for any suggestions comments.

looks good, get the 250 eibach springs if you havent gotten them already. and get +25 for the front and +30 for the rear. 225/40 front 245/40 rear 0 rub with 0 fender mod

yes i ran that with no problems, and next week i am putting a 245/35 on a 9.5, and thats not a bad stretch what so ever. i had a 245/35/20 on a 10 when i had 20's haha for like 2 weeks. and look on youtube for 225 on a 10.5 and be prepared to be amazed. you will be fine but the 250 springs will drop your car more.
