I wish I had known about the 18s before I put money down on the 17s! It's all good though, they're more rare :]

paul_dezod

Thanks for sharing the pics and such!

How's tire wear in the rear with those camber settings?

paul_dezod

ok. We have less than half of the sets left on the 17x9

For those wanting something more extreme, there are 11 sets of the 18x9.5 left.

^tire wear has been awesome!

falken 912's 225/40 all around, rotated roughly every 5-10k miles, total mileage so far on them with the whole setup is around 30k miles, and the tires are down to 30-35%, life

they are just slightly more worn on the inside which is expected, but far from bad, my mildly lowered is300 on factory spec alignment eats up the insides of the tires twice as fast, lol

912s are not unidirectional?

paul_dezod

I owned an IS300 at one time and know all about alignments on those cars and their woes.

Seriously, for that car. Invest in the Cusco front control arms and get this....Megan rear camber and toe arms. Problems solved.

chicotunner07

theyre labeled inside/outside on the sidewalls, i dont know what you call that, but they cant be flipped

chicotunner07

wow, thanks for the tip, lol, on the other hand, simply with lowering springs, the is300 handles pretty well

paul_dezod

I ran that suspension (cusco front control arms and Megan rear toe and camber arms), Enkei RP03 SBC 17x8s, APEXi Coilovers and StopTech brakes all around. Handled and stopped like a champ!

Update:

10 sets of 18x9.5 left and 7 left of the 17x9

chicotunner07

^do you happen to sell those is300 suspension bits?

paul_dezod

Yes I can get them all for you. Let me know if you want them. Drop me an email and I will get you taken care of.

Cant wait until my set comes in! So you have 15mm spacers and no rub! Nice, I was thinkin I was gonna have to pull the fenders to do this one... also, is there any kinda clear coat on the SBC finish?
