Anyone running 18" x 9.5" (concave face) +38?
If so, are you running a square set up? Also, if not 38 offset, which offset do you have?

Looking to find the specs that would fit a 2017 IS200T and that will be lowered 1" on coil overs.
I don't want it to rub, nor do I plan on getting the fenders rolled.

If the spec posted above rubs/requires body modification, does anyone know what specs would work with the concave look?

Thanks in advance!

If anyone is running 18 x 9.5 +38 or +40, feel free to post the pics/specs here.

I want to make sure I can fit this size with 255 tires all around on a 2017 IS without having to use spacers.

Im running 18x9.5+35 TE37s with 265/35. no spacers (they’re actually for sale wink wink)

i’ve had a few previous +38 setups and also nothing wrong

Thanks!

Are you running a square setup?
How come they're not concave with that spec?

Yes it’s a square setup. And I think it’s just the face style for more brake clearance. Similar to multi piece “disk” styles

I just saw your ad, what a deal!

Do you have close up shots of the rear by any chance?

Isn't -3.3 a lot of camber?

Did you ever try 255 tires on any of those wheels?

It's cheap, considering a new set with tires is close to 7.5k CDN (you're asking half of that).

-3 is still in the respectable amount. just added more to not rub on the bumper tab. had 255s on my first setup with my rotiforms. my instagram is @christian.tka if you want to find that. im also asking 2.8 without tires since my tires are pretty fresh i’d be robbing myself of a lot of money

Oh ok, I thought going past -2.5 wasn't a good thing.
With the 255s, you still had -3.3 camber?

Still a good price!

I'll add you on IG

Good to know! So with 255, I wouldn't need to get a camber kit then, right? or you'd still suggest getting one?
