Default RC-F Wheels on IS-F Advice

Hello!

I'm looking to get some RC F wheels on my IS F pretty soon and was hoping to could get some input.
That is, on whether I would have to make adjustments (e.g. shaving or rolling the fenders) or if they will just sit fine.

I am currently sitting on swift springs as well.

Also a P/C on the going rate on hand polished 20 Spoke RC-F! I've attached some pictures below for reference..

My current set up:
  • 08-09 IS-F Samurai Blade Wheels
    • Front: 19x8, +45 sitting on 225/40/19 tires
    • Rear: 19x9, +55 sitting on 255/35/19 tires
New set up would be:
  • Hand Polished 20 Spoke RC-F Wheels
    • Front: 19x9, +50 sitting on 255/35/19 tires
    • Rear: 19x10, +41 sitting on 275/35/19 tires









Thanks in advance guys!!!

Running the 20 spokes from the RC F on the IS F - lowered on RR Racing Penske coilover set up - rolled the fenders - tire size - 255/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear - Michelin PSS - NO ISSUES EVEN ON HARD TRACK DAYS !!

Yes it has. It's all detailed in the link posted by Fivepoint0 in Post #2 above. I have 'em and have detailed my experiences in that thread. Why we have another thread is beyond me

These wheels will fetch a pretty nice premium over the standard after market offerings. Hubcentric, perfect width, and they look marvelous

The wheels look better on the IS F then the RC F - perfect size and offset!

Old post revival, I recently bought RCF wheels but they do not fit the rear centric hole. I have not seen anyone else have a problem with the wheels fitting on the ISF. I have an 09’ ISF with the Samurai “19 wheels from a 2016 RCF. Any input?
