AWD Pics (lowered/wheels)
I was wondering if there are more people who lowered and/or put some wheels on their AWD IS250! Every single picture I see is with staggered setups which really cant be utilized on the AWD version! Post up your pics if you have them!

No problems at all. 19" x 8.5 and 19" x 9" Stagered. I'll get back to ya with tire sizes. I forget.
Car is only dropped about 2" on Road Mag Springs.
Not the best Pic, but it shows the offsets.
As long as the Overall Dia. of the tire and wheel combo is the same, you shouldn't have any problems.
I played with the tired inflation also. Overinflated the fronts by a few Lbs. and under inflated the backs just a bit. Nothing dangerous, just a few lbs. makes a difference. Still within a safe tollerence.

Damn fellas your rides look awesome! Everytime I go outside and look at my car with those silly OEM 17"s on them I cringe. I cant wait to get some wheels.
About the staggered though, how long have you been running like that? I know with my previous AWD cars it was labaled as a huge no-no to run different tire sizes because even though you have lets say 255/35 out back and 235/35 up front, the diameter size will be slightly different. I am just worried about the transfer case going bad or something like that, but I guess if it did, I could just put the stock wheels back on and go to the dealer and say, here fix it! Thanks for the pics!
I ordered Eibach Pro-kit which is a 1.4 drop in front and 1.1 or something in the rear. Looking how good your two cars sit I am worried the Eibachs might not be enough drop.. I guess I could always swap springs though.
