the fronts fit ok, but in the rear there is rubbing on both sides. Im gonna go out and get spacers tomorrow and see how that works. Pics will hopefully be up soon.
Oh and all this that i am telling you is with the stock tires the bridgestones 215/55/17. I think if you just get the rims and get 215/50/17 you will be ok.
PM me if you want to discuss this further

mwah ha ha ha, if you are thinking of getting the H&R hubcentric spacers.... good luck

I just ordered mine two weeks ago and it is back ordered from Germany

Damn people, my sweet IS300 rims are waiting patiently in my garage since i dont wanna go ghetto and get washers or "cheese slice" generic spacers.

there is nothing wrong with the generic "swiss cheese" spacers.

im using them and have no problem at all.

I'm guessing its his strut...why would spacers be discussed if it were already hitting the fendergap??

ye its the struts, but with the cheapo spacers its all good. Hope they will hold up ok. I paid $30 for 2 spacers for the rear. The ride is smooth, and no need to worry about little potholes or rims getting bent.

Also, is there a recommended tire size for these rims? Or would it be better for me to change the tire size so it'd fit w/ no problems? Thanks

i got those universal generic spacers today too. Cost me 15 bucks for two 5mm ones. Yeah, after having new rims and tires waiting a month mocking you I just had to have them on before the meet. Nothing wrong with the spacers, I guess im just a wuss and prefer to be overly safe. hehe, damn 60 dollar H&R spacers. Im still waiting too
