I have a question. Would this fitment of wheels be ok for my ISF being lowered on Swift springs (1” drop in front and 0.6” in rear) be alright? 19x9.5 +25 and 19x10.5 +38. From what I’ve heard I might have to roll my fenders and quarters to be safe with it but want to hear from others about this. TIA

Currently I am on stock suspension with Swift springs, looking to get the Greddy x KW Coilovers kit here in a couple of months. Will I need to do any fender mods for front or rear? as @Jwconeil stated, IN is a pretty bad place to have your fenders rolled for a DD. So I am looking to avoid that, the most I would be willing to do is shave tabs a bit.

(and yes I did read through the forum, took me quite some time.)
what part of IN are you from?

Are you still loving these wheels? They certainly look good!

I loathe the winter. My next house will have a big heated garage so i can at least sit outside with my car and look at it lol. It’ll get waxed all the time.

Me too. I could never live in the northern states. It's bad enough when I have to deal with snow while traveling - I can't imagine dealing with it on a daily basis.

I have winter tires mainly just for the lower temps. We get maybe a weeks worth of snow a year. But if it’s 37 and wet, my summer tires are ****.

What do you use for winter tires? I have Michelin PSS on both sets of my wheels..anytime the temp drops below 40 degrees, they become a bit risky to drive on.

I bought the pirelli sottozero 3 because they were available in factory sizing and run them on my stock 11 wheels.

Hi guys, looking to get some winter wheels here in a couple of days for this weather in IN. There is a guy selling Mazdaspeed 6 wheels that are 18x7 w 55 offset. anyone know if this will fit? I am worried about the width since I am not sure if anyone has ran that before on the F

If you're looking at 18" wheels, try these:

OEM quality and made for the IS.

Just got the deal of a lifetime on a pair of brand new cheap 18's to put some drag radials on. Yes, that price is for both wheels shipped!
