everyone will have a different opinion on what's the perfect offset. The way you want your car to look might be different than someone else who gives you advice.

That depends on if you want fender mods or fender flares. Also, have you looked at Miss_IS300's threads on hella flush? If not, then you should start there as her man knows offsets like he knows tomato's(figuratively speaking).

I took a look at them threads, then decided to get my wheels.;)

x9 +25 and x10 +25

It's aggressive but works on stock metal, with tire stretching and fender pulling

Check it out in 18" on this Risky Devils IS.

If you want that stance, I'd suggest not getting Tein CS coilovers. They just don't go low enough.

the real question is can you drive them like that. it is easy to mount some aggressive wheels and drop the jack to take pics.

+1 perfect is subjective. It looks as though you did find some peeps to point you in a direction though. The overall concenses would be to find wheels you like and make them fit the car...g/l:shrug:

Perfect offsets? Aim to only have to do an aggressive pull on the fenders. That way if the offset/width isn't exactly what you want, you won't be sunken in.

That's better than aiming for a roll and ending up with sunken wheels.
