Default **Wheel Fitment HELP! FAST! PLEASE! :)**

SO, I've been searching and exploring my options for wheels for my F. Doesn't seem like anyone has reached that "FLUSH" marker yet (although there are some very nice setups). I know Crazympg's setup is sitting pretty flush right now. The Lexon F had a very nice Work Setup that seemed flush as well.

My question is how are these specs looking for F fitment:

19X8.5 +22
19X10.5 +36


The original owner stretched like crazy! But on an IS-F, I don't think stretching is such a good idea. My goal is to have the widest tire in the rear, for both looks and oh...traction .

ANYWAY....Lemme know if I can pull this off, or I should explore a different option. THANKS!

I dont think the rears are any different than the regular IS, but the fronts will accept a little larger. I would also like to know if a 10.5 would fit. I love the 5 axis wheel in 20x10.5, but I just dont see anyone pulling of that size with a 33 offset. Sounds like you are in the same boat. I would think they would have to be in the mid 40 offset range to even get close. Otherwise you are gonna have to do a really small rear tire and watch out for curbs.

10.5 with mid 20's offset.

For the IS-F? I doubt it, I think you need a higher offset.

Bump please help....

Keep in mind my idle tire setup would be 235/35/19 and 265/ or 275/30/19 in the rear.

Can I get away with this on this high of an offset???

I think you'll be fine with those tire sizes. The rear could be cutting it close though, i would go with 275/30 no doubt, but maybe it may require SOME fender shave, I'm not 100% sure.
