The fitment is pretty nice, it's harder than it looks to get the lips to sit on the fenders perfectly like that. But those wheels do not flow with the car at all IMO.

Haha, I was contemplating those as a possible next set. Now I know what I'm not getting.

I sometimes wish these guys "Bag" a regular 250 or 350. leave the F for enthusiast. Idk. Maybe I'm just hating.

To each their own. Bags still handle just fine, I wouldn't track on them but then again I will probably never track my car even if I was static.

For daily driving, and aggressive driving, they're just fine.

I'd rather someone bag an ISF and have it still somewhat functional than slam the **** out of it on coils and get stuck on a driveway. I've been static, it's a hard life lol. Also having bagged 2 cars it makes the car much more manageable to daily.

Not digging the wheels, but the fitment is spot on!

Weds SA60m (19x9.5 +38mm all around) in Toyo R888 (265/30/19 all around).
They sit flush like a 10, jack, queen, king, and ace

That's pretty bizarre really haha. Lexus did an odd job when making the wheel wells on this car. Not sure how that squared is so flush front and rear yet they offer a staggered setup and super narrow wheel in front.

Looks badass though. 265 squared is common with M cars and usually the ideal fitment for the track it seems. Curious to see how it would perform on this chassis.

A wooden ruler and some arithmetic proved the tires + wheel offset to provide a nice fit! I agree: I think extensive chassis adjustments should've been made for the ISF from the ISx50.
I do indeed intend to track the car. I'll be heading out for an event in July. Thus far, the car performs great: I'm going 10mph+ higher on country back roads from staggered Michelin PSS. The takeaway is the road noise...sounds like an airplane is hovering above me at 50mph+.

Hi. Didn't get an alignment yet (so I'm not sure about camber degree settings), but all suspension components are stock besides coilovers, front/rear sway bars, and lower control arm bushings.
The rear quarters were shaved.

I would like to know too. I like the idea of deep concave wheels all the way around
