Default Got some new shoes & some pics

Thats right ladies and gents. After a couple of delays and waiting on the tires to get in stock I finally have it. I got a deal on a set of '06 IS 350 wheels. I know a couple of people have already done it so its no biggie but I don't remember seeing anyone of on 97+ or with the alpine silver.

Front - 18" x 8" +45 offest
Back - 18" x 8.5" +50 offest
Tires are 235/40/18 all the way around. To those of you who know tires, is that ok?

nice improvement over the stock 5 spokes...lower it some more and it'll look sweet.

The tire sizes shouldn't be a problem, but you can go with a 245 in the back to get some more rubber to the floor, but you should be fine with what you have now...

Nice car too btw..

Thanks for the answer and the compliments, I appreciate it.

Lowering it is in the works for sure. Stock height is not going to cut it. I was wanting to get it all done at once but the deal on the rims were too good to pass up at the moment. The cars only a weekend warrior and will be sitting in the garage starting at the end of October. So when the weather gets nice next year it will be dropped with coilovers, add some spacers and have the brakes upgraded with some LS ones if possible. Then it'll ready for the summer.

Silver is not a color that I'm impressed with, but yours is very simple and clean. The wheels are also unobtrusive but very elegant. Great looking ride!
