Tested out the rear F-Sport wheel of an IS250/350 with 255/35R19 on it. Fits like a glove, just as I thought it would.

There is actually a ton more space for wider, but anyone looking for an OEM type wheel and a good wide, forged wheel, these should be highly considered! You'll need new front center caps though, or remove them as the half shafts stick out too much...but really, thats it.

Oh ya, and even though the picture is only of the rear wheel on the rear of the car, it does fit the front and does the lock-to-lock without issue! You'd want the 19x9's all around.

Nice looks sweet! I didn't know the 2g tc have rear wipers!

Thats stupid that they left it off the tC1 and the tC2 in the states!

You guys like to dwell on that rear wiper thing...

Put rain-x on your rear window and drive. OR, come to Canada and swap me trunks. I don't even use it.

rear wipers are overrated.
theyre ugly anyways.

**highvoltage1** · 11-12-2010, 02:02 PM

I for one coulda used it. Regardless of look. Mine isnt a show car so function over looks for sure! And Rain-x doesnt always work!

Whats the price on those wheels? I bet you could find a nice rim for much cheaper that looks better too. Not fond of the looks

Neither is mine, but I never use it regardless. I don't see the point to it. Honestly, as I said, rain, sleet, snow, dirt, no matter, I will NEVER turn mine on. Its guaranteed to scratch the glass.

Probably could, but it wouldn't be forged. These are about $500+ USD each. Considering Volks and other inflated cost wheels are almost a grand a wheel, thats not bad for a wheel that weights only 21lbs for a 19x9.

By chance, did you take a picture of the wheel on the car from the back? To see how it sticks out (if it does at all). Or a picture from the front?

I'm kicking myself for not doing it, but I can say in the front and rear there is about 1/2" of clearance between the tire edge and inside fender lip. Depending on how the car cambers with being lowered, that could be greatly increased.

I'm planning 9.5" wide now myself with a 255/40R18 all around.

When I saw this thread, it got me thinking...I'm looking to put these on
http://www.lextuners.com/f-sport-ful...-x-9-rear.html
with 245/35ZR19 all around...that way the speedo will still be accurate.
These are the tires I would get

^Good choices. The PS2's are a great tire, but a little costly. The one benefit is they are non-directional, so you can rotate them without taking them off the rims.

The new F-Sport wheels are the same specs as the one I installed. You'll have no issues fitting rears all-around. The 245/35R19 tire works too but you could do 255 if you wanted. The tire on the one I mounted was 255/35R19. Your speedo might be out 0.1%, which isn't enough to even care about.
