A co-worker need sizing help on a IS300...

He's going really weak and i need to push him to a more aggressive set-up

Could he run a 18x8.5 et25 front
18x9.5 et25 rear?

What backpad totally clears calipers? It doesnt have to be hella aggressive, just keep hi maway from 18x8 et35 all around.

thanks guys!

no one knows? The infinit guys are helpful, what's going on here :)

Talk to SOLO!
He should have all the info you'll ever need when it comes to fitment and an IS........
Oh yea and I'm and infiniti guy! Hahahahahha! :smiley:

this is my first is300 with 17x8 +44 volk av3s. 18x8 +35 is actually farely agressive for is300s but you can obviously fit bigger with agressive camber and what not.  18x9.5et25 would  be pretty much impossible without flares.

If he wanted to run 18x8.5 in front he would need 45 offset and a 55 offest in the rear to run 18x9.5.

god those offsets suck..im glad i dont have to worry about that.then again my theory is buy the rims and make em fit.

10-4 Hero!

I'm currently running 17x8 +32 all around, and the front actually pokes a little, but the rear tucks in. IMO the perfect setup on an IS is 18x8.5 +35 front and 18x9.5 +45 to +38 rear (depending on how aggressive you want).

i agreee completely

lil roller u got any pics of your current setup? Thanks

Yeah, I have some pictures, but my car is monster trucking right now... Coilovers will be on within the week. Once its slammed the front should tuck in pretty perfectly, and I'll probably throw a 10-15mm spacer at the rear to even it out... Anyways, hope these pictures help.

Thanks that is going to look great when you slam it! I have a 2001 Jade Mica Is. Thanks!

Yeah bro thats gonna be nice once you get the coilovers in place...which ones did you go with?

A friend of mine works for Touge Factory/Stance USA, so he got me a deal on some Stance coilovers... They're not the greatest, but they go real low :biggthumpup:

Dropped:

Looks great!! How does it ride? Install bad? Can you get anymore deals on another set?

To be honest, I've riden in one or two other cars with these coilovers, and I wasn't impressed, but I love these coilovers. The ride is firm, but smooth, and the car just feels great. Install was a bitch, but I don't have the best tools, so I expected that.

I doubt I can get another deal on a set, because he was just giving me a discount since I'm a good friend, but they're only $1295 msrp.
