Been eyeing these for some time now and man, they look good.

But i have not seen any IS3 except maybe one or two that run these. I literally have no greater knowledge on cars except that i was told to get the wheels first, then coilovers after (no springs since I plan to keep the car for a long time).

- What fitment sizing should I aim for? Tires included.
- what tire brands are good for daily commute? I don't need anything crazy
- How wide of the wheel should I go front and back?
- other than wheels, tires, and tpms (I heard I can just switch over my OEM ones), what else do I need?

I have a RWD and I don't plan on tracking anytime soon, just a daily commute in California. I also do not want rubbing nor needing to do any fender work. I currently have 17s and I'm thinking of aiming for the 19s vip modular vrc13.

Future plans:
- BC racing coilovers are currently what I'm aiming for, but I've heard they start squeaking a lot


If anyone know any vrc13 wheels and BC racing coilovers for sale, definitely send them my way.

You should get coils first before you get wheels. Especially if you are going up to 19s.

Depending on your drop and if you decide to get camber control arms, you can then gauge what fitment you need.

What would be a great tire fitment for

Size 19x8.5 (+43) and 19x9.5 (+34)?

No coilovers yet, currently on stock suspension. I'm coming from 225/45ZR17 (+45) both front and rear


And what does anyone reconmend on tire brands? I'm a daily commuter, no track or anything. Doesn't snow here.

I have 235-35 up front and 265-30 in back on RSR downs(AWD)and have zero rubbing issues. I like Continental DWS,has a more rounded shoulder which helps in the not rubbing dept. A lot of people like Michelin PSS,but it has a more squared shoulder. I agree about getting coils first to determine optimum tire size.

Phamkq

Are you lowered on coils or springs or stock suspension?

Napalvr

I'm lowered on springs

What does everybody think of the hankook v12?
