Default lexus isf Wheels won! now for setup advice plz!!

Won some BBS Forged ISF wheels on Ebay, now in the process of putting them on my IS250..
They came without tyres, so would i need 225/40/19 front and 255/35/19 rear?

coilover kit is going on aswell, but i want to ask the guys who have done this setup with the isf wheels if the tyres are ok, or do i need wider tyres?

with the is250 the rear dont look flush as anyone would like, is this how the isf looks too?

any pics would be great please..

To be honest you can go with a little wider in the rear...if it looks sunken you might want to try a 5 or 10mm spacer to poke it a lil

The will fit but look sunken into the car without wheel spacers. First off i had a set of OE IS-F wheels on my IS350 and my tire specs were F:235/40/19 and R:265/35/19. That was a good setup for it. I also had 20mm bolt on wheel spacers up front and 30mm in the rear. It really brought the wheels out and made the car look ten times better.

Car looks good. I suggest running a spacer as well and you'll be good to go!

20 mm front and 25 mm back would make it flush for the 2IS

as a reminder, anything above a 5 mm space you should get extended studs.
