Default PLEASE HELP!! well these wheels fit.. sucks being a girl and noob..

I know there is a thread "will these wheel fit." and i did try to research it.. I need a direct answer...
so i recently just purchased an is250, starting to mod it.. SUCKS BEING A GIRL and a NOOB

Wanna pick up some NT03 wheels 18x9.5 +27 non staggered. lowered on some DGR suspension ( its a new company, trying it out so dont burn me)

front 18x9.5 +27 with 245/40/18
rears 18x9.5 +27 with 255/40/18
..trying to use my spares instead of buying new tires...unfortunately wheels didnt come with tires

are u set on those rim specs? if so then ur front is going to rub slightly with those tires even dropped on springs. the back should be fine. relocate the fender tab, that alone will save u a of headaches down the road.

rolled fenders, and depending on how low your proposed ride height will be, you'll need to relocate the front fender tabs and shave down the rear fender tabs.

you can run 245/40-18 in the rear, but you'll need to run 225/40-18 in the front.

Im no expert but with offsets like that you may need to at least roll your fenders.

This is how a 8.5 wide wheel with +22 offset on a 225 tire rubs on h&r springs. A 245 will NOT work.

First off nice choice in wheels

Like I mentioned to you in our PM's unless you plan on goin extremely low I would suggest 225/40F and a 245/40R, 245/40 would be too tall for the front. Up front roll the fenders and relocate the tabs. In the rear just a fender roll, I am running 10.5+30 in the rear and did not have an issue with shaving down the tab.
