The fronts are fine though, recommend the figs flca bushings though, I gotta press to do em and a spare rear bracket if you wanna do it with minimal downtime by a exchange of your bracket.
Thanks. I just wanna know which set up would be optimal that are provided by the wheel company im looking at.

Those Vossens fit the style of the car perfectly, almost as though they are a factory upgrade. Very nice choice.

I know these will fit and ISF but does anyone have pictures of them on an F? I saw a picture on here awhile ago but cant find it now... I was thinking of using a set of these as my winter wheels.

They will not fit the ISF, the back wheels won't clear the brake calipers.

Ok I have confirmation they fit the fronts and I didn't really think the tears would be an issue. I wonder if the one I saw on here was running spacers in the rear... I have 15mm spacers so I should be fine.

Should be fine with spacers, they're only off by a couple mm. The reason I know is I was going to do the same thing, put my F-Sport wheels from my IS250 on my ISF. Wish I had started with the rears when I tried it.

Need some opinions on this for guys . Looking for a custom set that will not rub ideally
. Can roll fenders if needed but would rather do as little as needed . Found a cool mobile fender rolling guy . Was going to
Stick with stock height for now.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ?
19x9.5 et. 42 with Bridgestone SO4 255/35/19
19x11 et 60. SO4 295/30/19

Because I am ordering custom offsets I can vary these offsets . They were recommending +42 front and +55 rear .

Since you track the car I would recommend going with a square setup.
I am going to be getting 19x9.5 +38 all around. Since I'm lowered, I'm going to shave the rear fenders and maybe roll the fronts if necessary.
My setup will be about flush with the rear fenders, yours will poke inside 3mm more than mine. So I suppose you wouldn't have to roll. And if you do, I'd recommend shaving the rears, not rolling. Being on stock suspension, I think you should be fine.
The front wells don't really fit big rubber, so going with 265 would be your best bet all-around.
Good luck, update us!

Go for it +42 and +60 if you really want 295/30 for the rear. it will fit ok for the rear with stock suspension. I don"t think you need to get fenders rolled or shaved. Because i have been running 19x9 +38 255/35/19 Bridgestone potenza RE050a and 19x11 +52 295/3019 RE050a on the stock suspension. The rear is just slightly rubbing to the fender when i go over deeps or big bumps.
Comparing to your set up and mine only differ in the rear. Your is 8mm toward the struts so i think +60 is good to go for you.

I was hoping with the correct offsets I could make it work with no rubbing. I dont want hellaflush I want hellagrip. I really want to shoot for the 295/30 rear tire. Its going to look amazing I think.

Thanks so much for your response bud. That makes me feel better. I was telling the wheel guy that this is the first set of wheels I have ever ordered where I could do custom offsets. Its very cool but makes it a bit more detailed when it comes to selecting but it is very cool to have the option to set up for a particular tire size, or even brand , that you really want to run. To be honest I was shooting for a high offset because I want to run the PSS but the wait time o the rears is insane.

The chart that I have been using put my front wheel out 2mm more than yours and my rear 8mm more inboard than yours. Forgestar recommended a +54 for the rear and the vendor says +55. I got a pic of a lowered F with the same wheels at the same offsets but the vendor said the tires were close, so if I ran the PSS down the line I would end up with rubbing. Found a guy who does mobile fender rolling for only $20 per side with $20 mobile fee, but would rather avoid messing with the fenders unless I need to. I would prefer to shave than roll to avoid cracking but will do it if I need. Imagine running a 305/30/19 at stock height with just a roll lol


Shyguy do you have any pics of your car with the wheels at stock height?? It would be a HUGE help. Really hard to find pics of the F with wheels at stock height. Thanks again !

I asked for +60 when I orders my set and forgestar said with the deep concave the hub section would be to thin. I know someone else had them but I trusted their option and stayed with 19x10.5 +55 rears.

FYI, the PSS is not available in 295x30x19
