RCF wheels on '08 IS250?
Hey Guys!
I have a '08 IS250 M/T lowered with the F-Sport Springs (on the stock struts). I'm considering putting the staggered factory 19in 20spoke wheels/tires from a '17 RC-F. Has anyone tried this? America's Tire Co said it should fit with the stock suspension, but not sure about modified suspension with a 1in drop...

what are the wheel specs of the rcf wheels?
I have 19x8.5 +35front and 19x9.5 +35rear and they fit fine, even when I slammed my car on coils. With only a 1inch drop, your car will not have any issues.

^^^^The specs are 19X9 +50mm in front and 19X10 +41mm in back. I have them on my ISF with 255/35/19 and 295/30/19. Not lowered. My rear fenders are filled flat. I will rub with folks in the back seat, or with a heavy load in the trunk. Otherwise everything is fine.

Appreciate the info guys...
My current tires are 225/40/18 (front) and 255/40/18 (Rear)...the RCF has 255/35R19 (Front) and 275/35R19 (Rear).
Would the added width in the wheels/tires require the fenders/quarter panels to be folded in?

also depends on the offset. Personally, it's always a good option to have your fenders rolled or cut.
Running 255/40/19 in the front will definitely rub if you're lowered. Not really sure if you're stock height. I tried to run 235/35/19 in my front when I was dropped around 3" and it would not fit.
Right now i have 225/35/19 and 235/35/19 and I'm dropped 2" and it fits very well with a little room to play.
Better to be safe while fitting tires. Unless as they're changing your tires and you have your coilovers clamp thingys to change your height.

Thanks everyone...appreciate the info. Was considering buying them from some dude online, but after the input I think I may have to actually test them first to save a headache later on.
