Does it rub with that set up and such low ride height?

I love the wheels and stance!

If I lower my car only one and a half inches, do you think it is possible to run 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear with that wheel specs?

FYI, I

SB350 & Charizmo

are you able to post some photos that show the amount of stretch in the tyre? something a bit closer that might show how much of the rim is exposed? Im really liking the wheels and fitment but im not a fan of the stretch look, plus my 350 is the wifes daily and i need the rubber to protect the rim from potential curbing

I've had these wheels on my car for ~2 years, 20K miles and the finish has held up surprisingly well. Supposedly the light weight paint that Weds uses chips and scratches easily as some members have stated. I do have several rock chips that can be seen on some of my wheels, but no curb rash. There are a couple rock chips on the spokes and some small ones on the rim edge.

Tires have been installed on them 3 times and I haven't gotten any damage from the unmounting/mounting like some members have. I usually tell the the tire installer to be extremely careful and warn them that the paint on the wheels scratches easily.

Hello, i am planning on Wedssport SA-55M but i am not sure what size i should get.

I have 2011 IS350 AWD, so i don't want to go staggered. I am also going for the 18' .

Could someone recommend me what size plus offset.

Thanks!

It depends on how aggressive you are willing to go with your offsets. For a non staggered, 18" set up, I assume you would like the wheel faces to be concave.

18" SA55M's have 3 face types, FF (flat - no concave), FR (semi-concave), RR (very concave). FR faces are 18x9 +36, +20 and RR faces are 18x10 +36, +18.

I'd recommend 18x9 +36 front, and 18x9+20 rear, so you'd have semi-concave faces all around as well as a flush stance.

Thanks for the tips. I was actually aiming for the very concave RR faces.

Would i need to roll my fenders or something if i go for the RR?

Do i also go for 18x10 +36 on front and 18x10 +18 rears?

Thanks.

Yes, you will most definitely need to roll your fenders. It'll look awesome though, having RR face front and rear!
