Another pic of them. I'm ordering some spacers to flush them. They look like crap IMO

Just need moar low and about 15mm spacers. Those could look great if you get the stance dialed in

Hey guys, how would (F)19x10 +29 Med Disk (R)19x11 +24 Super Low Disk fit? Im planning on going low as can be without being slammed, if that makes sense lol. Just decently low. Might be adding a 5mm spacer to the front to clear my LS calipers.

I just put 17x9 +24 wheels in back and they're perfectly flush. Yours at 2" wider and the same offset would presumably extend out an inch to either side of the shared center line, so you'd probably need to pull the fenders an inch?

I can't imagine you would need a spacer in front with a 10" wheel and that low of offset, unless the spoke design is crazy. At +29, you kinda sorta picked up the equivalent of a 20mm spacer, and 15mm should be enough to clear LS calipers with stock offset wheels.

My wheel and tire specs.......XXR 521 18x8.5 +25 w/ 245/35/18 & 18x10 +25 w/275/35/18

I have all four corners rolled completely flat and I am on coilovers......I still need to adjust coils a little bit to go lower...but have about a 2 finger gap all around

The fronts could use a 10 mm spacer to make it have a little poke like the rear.....they clear LS400 BBK with ease...and will most likely go with a 255/35/18 next

The rear are perfect......they do not rub at all...I may do a pull to fit 295/35/18 later on

The car has been parked for winter but I will get some newer photos with coils adjusted and 10mm spacers up front added once winter breaks...

Right now, I'm running XXR 531s with 18x11 +20 in the rear. There is a little too much poke for my taste. Sorry for the bad pics, this was a while back and only had my phone on me at the time:







I am looking at the Cosmis Racing S5Rs that come in 18x10.5 +20. I want to be able to run a 295 or even 305 tire if possible as I'm already having major traction issues with my setup and it's only a stock 2JZGTE lol




Is 1/2" less in width a pretty decent/noticeable difference? I want the wheel to tuck back in closer to the fender, and am hoping that 1/2" will make that difference. And also, should I have any trouble running a 295 or 305?

hello
much has been written about wheels and tires and i had many help with the PM's some of you send me
but i would like a final advice about the choice of tires
Falken are widely available in Europe but not as common so i don't have reviews on those , but its all about the side walls of the tires
i'm thinking Falken (what type? ) toyo proxes t1 or michelin pilot sport
for these wheels

2 X 8.5 X 19" 5X114 ET38 ALLOY WHEELS (FRONT)

2 X 9.5 X 19" 5X114 ET35 ALLOY WHEELS (REAR)

a bit of rolling is no problem , pulling is
i want to go for the box like look , no stretch or balloon like shape



like this but then in 19 inch
what sizes do you advice for these wheels ?
245/40/19 front and 275/30/19 in the back , or 265/35/19 ...so many choices to make

depends on the diameter. 255/40/R18 is the stock IS350 rear wheel tire and I think that's tall, so a 45 series is 5% taller. I'm running 255/35/R18 in the rear and that's plenty tall enough for me.

Yes, there are quite a bit of tire choices. Some ride too wide, some run too narrow, so I know how you feel. For the fronts, I would go with 245/35/R19 for the 8.5 inch wheels. These should not look stretched nor ballooned. For the rears, 275/30/R19 and these should also not look stretched nor ballooned on the 9.5" rears.

First off welcome to ClubLexus. This setup would clear the fenders at stock suspension. I don't think you'll need to roll any fenders
