just a question of out of the blue, since the sc300 factory wheels are sunken in. Will have a flush setup affect driving in any way? like how in bad and how in good?

Planning on running 18x11.5+19 on the rear. Can we adjust the camber without buying a kit?

Yeah, that's exactly why I stuck with 18's... I need to lower the car more though.

My setup on my 92 sc300 is 18x9 +31 front and 18x10.5 +43 rear and the lip is big tires in rear use to rub when I had 275/40/18 but now I'm running 255/35/18 rear and 225/40/18 front. They use to be flush with the fenders but since I got stance coils they stick in just a little bit. Planning g on selling them for 1500 and getting mb battle wheels 17x9.5 +12 all around for drifting

I had 17x9.5 +15 Battles, but my car was lowered on springs. Looked pretty good. I'd recommend getting 18" Battles, they will look better.

What size tires should i get if I get stock 18" IS350 rims? any recommendations? my car is only dropped about 1inch-1.5 inch. btw is $350 for just the is350 rims a good deal? or is that too expensive?

Lexus put 225/40's on the front and 255/40's on the rear. Could probably go up to 245/35 on the front because it is an 8" wide rim. 255 is about the max on the rears though, it's 8.5" wide. Here's what it looks like. Also, more pic's on pg. 158.

+45 front and +50 rear

they are pretty sunken in but still look better than stock. I ran 15mm bolt on spacer up front and 25mm in the rear and they fit perfectly. I was also on espelir springs and I had to roll my rear quarterpanels.
