Default 1LS on IS350 OEM 18x8.5 test fit v.pic

Grabbed a set of ~1400mi takeoffs today from fellow CL member RamshakleZ.. tires wont be in until monday but i couldnt resist bolting one on just to get an idea...





2.0mp shot

fits fine without any issue on the rear. it was hot so i didnt test fit the front yet but i'll go back out later and update the thread.

edit:
killed a tire and finally got a replacement, weighed some stuff

18x8 front IS350 wheel with 225/40/18 general exclaim UHP
44lbs - tire is 20lbs even so wheel is 24lbs by itself

the stock 15" sawblade with a bald oem size michelin symmetry weighed 38lbs

i need some new rear rotors and pads as well which i just noticed. you could see the "pulse" pattern on them. there's no doubt they're warped

yeah when i put them on they were a little in-set so we'll see... i'll get some spacers if i need to... gonna need some new lugs too.. the open ended ones look horrible.
