Default Opinions on new wheels.

I have been researching for awhile and think I have decided on the wheels I would like to put on my IS350 awd. I have photoshopped my original image to reflect what they would look like. I installed the f-sport springs last month that is not displayed in the "before" image.

Before.



After with 19" OZ Superturismo LM




Thoughts??

The wheels are 19", 8.5" wide with an offset of 38.

That's a good middle-of-the-road offset that won't get you in any trouble. I love those wheels BTW!

No rubbing at all. I did ended up running 235/35-19s. They are almost flush with the side, as they stick out about 1/2" further than the stock wheels.
