Default 2nd Gen RS6.0 w/ IS-F wheels

OK, I need an honest opinion here. I'm test fitting a set of IS-F wheels on my RS6.0 and want your opinion. I am aware of the chunky tires and will be replacing them, i'm just trying to get an opinion on the design of the wheel and how it looks on the car. My plans are to run a 15mm spacer on the rear and do a slight stretch of tire on the rear and front. The tires on there now are way to big IMO. I will also include a pict of the car with the five Axis wheels i have on there now for comparison which i'm not very fond of. Let me know.

Thanks,
Dan

Doesn't just look good, looks damn near perfect. Throw some 235/35R19 tires on there and the spacers, admire your sick new whip!

I actually have a 245/35/19's i was going to put on the rear and i'm debating between a 215/35/19 on the front or a 225/35/19...

I Agree, not my cup of tea... They don't look horrible, but they definitely take a back seat to the "F" wheels.

Looks good to me. The tires look fine unless you plan on lowering it another 2".

WOW! IS-F wheels for sure other ones are too boring. if you dont mind me asking how much did you get those for? and you going to try and see if you can change the lexus badges on the wheels or maby do somthing out of the ordanery and replace your badges on the car with lexus ones?

Looks like it could be the 2013 Scion XB F edition...I'm lovin it buddy. It looks like a OEM package from the factory. I've been going for the OEM SE edition on mine. Dude don't change a thing now.

Quoted for truth. If you're not going to go lower, run those tires. As soon as they're toast, go to the 235/35R19 OEM offered xB size.

What's the offset and width on those rears? You can run a 19x9.5 +45 easy, even with Tanabe DF210's and no fender roll.

Thanks guys, wheel specs are as follows:

Size: 19 x 8 Front, 19 x 9 Rear inches
* Offset: 45mm Fronts / 55mm Rears

I plan on running a 15mm spacer, not sure if i need more but at least 15mm. For those asking how I got the wheels, I work at Lexus and got a deal I couldn't pass up so I jumped on them. They really are growing on me. My xb is lowered on Tanabe's springs, however, she looks like she needs to definitely go lower. I'm going to wait till i get the spacers and new tires before i do anything drastic. Thanks for the advise guys.

Advise is what we're here for. I love my current wheels, but I would LOVE a set of these. 15mm spacers will be a good place to start.

Those "F" wheels look nice with your setup but you should have gotten the bronze 5axis wheels. Bronze is the new flat black lol
