Need some rim advice.
Hi guys.
I'm thinking of getting these rims off a guy and not sure if they will fit properly on my 14' IS350..
Here are the specs of the rims. 18's on front 19's on back.
Front 18x8.5 et31 Medium Concave 215/35/ZR18
Rear 19x10.5 et25 Deep Concave 275/30ZR19

The front will be barely flush (can fix with a spacer later); the rear will stick out by about half an inch or more but that won't be an issue if you go 265 tires. With 275 you'll be rubbing non stop unless you run really stiff springs and do some light fender mods.
Nice wheels though, I'd grab them if the price is right. You can make it work. If you haven't done any suspension mods, grab some J5 coilovers with custom (stiff) springs.

Good to know guys.. Awesome..
He is wanting $3900 for them with the tires says they are brand new. I priced out BC forged rims and this looks almost retail for the rims alone without tax. He claims that they are brand new condition which I believe just based off his NSX. He takes care of his stuff.
He says he only had them mounted for a photo shoot .
Here is a picture of one of the rear rims.

Nah, not worth it for that price at all. Contact Need for speed motorsports (here on the forum) and trust me you can find amazing wheels for much less than the ones you're trying to get. And you definitely want to avoid 18/19 setups on these cars as that will look weird on a 4 door luxury saloon. And 265 tires will still cause rubbing without stiffer springs and some fender mods. These cars really do suck at fitting aggressive wheels.

Not trying to say they're ugly and you shouldn't buy them, but I am not too fond of them. I find it weird to have 18" in the front and 19" in the rear. Obviously this isn't my car they're going on so you don't have to take what I am saying as an insult to the wheels or your taste in wheels, but for $3900 you can get some other wheels just as nice and put the difference to some springs or something. Just my opinion. Maybe I have to see them on the 3IS to find an interest in them.
