    Default Recommendation for Wheels for IS300

    So I'm trying to figure out the best size 18 I can go with for the car, I have an excel sheet that does most of the calculations for me, but I'm running into an issue where I really can't get any rim I want to fit properly without doing some love to the fenders (lame).

    Anyone got a suggestion for a wheel or specific size for wheel and tire combination?

    I was trying to get some Axis Reverb in Gold:





    But unless my calculations are wrong I don't believe these will fit with out pulling the fender out a bit, which i'm not against as long as it doesn't kill the pocket lol.


    Any help from the wheel gurus is always greatly appreciated.

    I'm running 18x8 +40 on all four. I shaved the rear fenders just to be safe. This guide should help http://my.is/forums/f95/guide-wheel-...i-need-384512/

    IS 300 L-tuned wheels. IS 300 sportcross wheels are actually wider in the rear.

    The gold wheels are much better looking than those.
