Hi--

Interested in 19 inch wheel and tire setup for my car. At least six spoke, silver, with a lip.

My stock setup is as follows...

F: 18x8; 225/40-18; 45 offset; bolt pattern 5-114.3

R: 18.8.5; 255/40-18; 50 offset; bolt pattern 5-114.3

I'd like the outer rim of the aftermarket setup to extend more closely flush with the fender flare. I'm currently on stock suspension but am looking at lowering on TEIN H-Tech springs which drop the car 1" in the front and 0.6 inch in the rear (the IS has a wider wheel gap in the front with stock springs).

Any suggestions/advice?

I like the Shine. I would be looking at the following (F/R staggerred setup):

19" x 8.5"
5/114.3 35 25.5

19" x 9.5"

5/114.3

Axis Shine - Machined/Anthracite - 19" x 8.5" - 45 - 5/114.3 SHN9855H45GMP
Axis Shine - Machined/Anthracite - 19" x 9.5" - 40 - 5/114.3 SHN9955H40GMP

Tire size. Front 235/35R19 and Rear 255/35R19.

I recommend the Pirelli PZero http://www.1010tires.com/tire.asp?tirebrand=Pirelli&tiremodel=P%2DZero

Thanks. Is the Shine compatible with TPMS?

A couple of follow up questions:

1) Do you sell TPMS sensors?

2) Why did you recommend a 235/35-19 in front instead of a 225/35-19, which measures out closer to the OEM 18s in overall diameter and rolling circumference (granted both are within 3% of stock)

3) If I wanted the front wheels to "poke" out a bit farther so that they are more flush with the fender flare, can I go with 35 offset instead of 45?

I appreciate your help on this stuff cool .

1) Yes. Located here http://www.1010tires.com/cart.asp?action=view We correct the price once we get an accurate quote from our suppplier.
2) The 235/35R19 is a better fit on the wheel and has a higher load capacity.
3) Possible, but we would not guarantee it.

Be careful with rubbing on a wide wheel in the front bottom lower part of the bumper rubs i've experienced with the IS

Yes you always want to test fit first.
