Yeah man, sorry to say but these might look fine on a Z but they are ridiculous offsets for the F. I also don't see the point of getting wider rims and having to put thinner, stretched tires on them. The stretched tires will have very little sidewall at the ratio you want to run. You're just asking for wheel/tire damage problems.

This would be an example of how to do it right. Bigger/wider rims with an aggressive offset that are still able to run correctly (up)sized rubber.

I like to have one meaty set up, one hellaflush set up, and one oem set up.
Meaty will come when a supercharger comes out for the F so it can be fast enough to need it.

I think most people on the IS-F section are more track and speed. Hellalfush (from what I have seen up close and personal) is more for low and show. I love hellaflush, if I had a car that supports, I would.
