Wheel size for IS350 vs. IS-F - Question ?
I own an IS350 and purchased a set of aftermarket wheels.
The stock rim/tire size is 18x8, 225/40/18 in front, the wheels I bought are 19x8 for the front
I noticed that the stock front wheel/tire on the IS-F is 19x8, 225/40/19
I know that the IS-F sits about 1" lower than the IS350 ...but what I'm not sure of is if the the IS-F fits a 225/40/19 in its front wheel well...
are the front wheel wells so different on the two cars that the F will fit a 225/40/19 but the 350 will not.
I am aware of keeping the aftermarket tire height within a certain frame of the stock specs to be safe and more sure of fitment---
my question is more so within the real world reality of would it fit with no issue.
Reason is I like the way the IS-F sits on its 19's and the fill on the front tire -fender gap.
I purchased a eibach pro kit to mildly drop my 350 about an .8" in the front so would I be OK with a 225/40/19 in front like the F has or are the cars that different in the front- I am aware the preferred size is 235/35/19
but wanted to know if anyone knows if in the real world would it fit on the 350

thanks but my question is not IS-F rim fitment it was more so IS-F front tire size fitment of 225/40/19 on the front of an IS350...
I asking more so since the cars share the same body..and the stock fitment with the F's drop it still fits a 225/40/19 tire with no issue
and my aftermarkets are the same size as the IS-F's 19x8 so I was thinking the tire size of 225/40/19 should fit with no issues in the IS350
so its more tire clearance with no issue...not a rim swap question
but thanks for the response no less
