It does feel different but did not get to push it. Wife was in the car and I was also breaking in the new tires. I even got the aluminum lugs so that's even lighter yet. I'll keep you posted.
Tires are 245/35's and 275/30's on PS2's. They are so close to the fenders that dropping the car might not be an option. Plan B will be to roll the fender and might give a little more clearance.
Praying for all the homeboys back there. A good friend of mine got his X5 and a R1200GS submerged in Maga. Even took a snapshot of a jetski going down Trinidad street. Another friend who resides outside Xavier got a whole Exped submerged. Hope all goes well.
I don't think I'll ever track the ISF. I'm building a 90 Miata for doing track days with and maybe a few autocrosses. I like your pics dicing it out with the C63.
Thanks for the compliments but it was kinda funny, the wife actually said that the flat finish looks better.

Just like jack , i got the same response from Kaien, its good to know that the 19 x 10 does work though. Did you post the pics yet ?


Thank you for your inquiry of Weds products.

Regarding your query, for a Lexus isf
Front: 19 x 9 +35
Rear: 19 x 10 +42
The width of the wheels is too wide for the car.

Thank you and best regards,

Kazaks, nice pronunciation with the Ayyy! I'll work on the pics from straight back. I have one but from up pointing down. I drove from Alameda to San Mateo friday night across the SM bridge. Although traffic was bad going there cuz of the Bay Bridge, I got to push coming home and yes, it does feel better. Hard to describe but it feels lighter. Kinda like a lighter flywheel, if that makes sense. Never rubbed nor did anything out of the ordinary. Stay tuned...

ay es ep, ( hope this is better ) this is the response i now received when i let the company know that your wheels actually do fit with no rubbing




> By the way i just read on the LexusF Forum that another owner in the
> US installed SA 67R wheels F 245 x 35 on 19 x 9 and R 275 x 30 on 19 x 10
> with no rubbing issues


we can not recommend you how to modify your car,
however, the car is processed for putting those sizes of wheels on.

Rds,

Tomomi Teraoka

So now with this new info what offsets do you have front and rear ?

AY ES EP, I just looked at my rims last weekend and realized that I do have the SA67R, not an SA 65, as I (for some weird reason) thought.

Nice to have a track car like the Miata. I still have my secret aspirations of getting my hands on an Exige for track days, I wonder if that'll ever happen. For now I have an Evo 7 which I use for the track which I enjoy more than the STi. I have lightweight Enkei NT03s on them and it does make a diff. I also have a 1990 Lancia Integrale sitting in my shop and I have yet to figure out what to do with it. The Lancia was my dream car way back then when it was a constant world champion at WRC.

oarngemig,

Nice collection of toys...too bad I am not coming home for the holidays or else I'd like to check out the "Toy Box". Sounds like Toys Are Us, but better. Question for you, confirm that they are 18's and not the 19's cuz I think the offset is different with the 18's
Someone had asked about the offset, I think it is as indicated on their website:
http://www.weds.co.jp/english/products/wedssport/sa67r.html
Looks like 35 in front and 42 to the rears....
To those waiting for the hind pics, I'll work on them this weekend.
BTW, night before halloween, I drove around quite a bit with 2 people in the car and still, no rubbing. Too bad I cannot say for certain but it's lookin good so far.

Ay ES EP, mine is 19X8+45 up front and 19x9+35 for the rear. Your rear offset of 42 is quite a ways from my 35s, that may be the answer for my rubbing. I just took Tom's word when they told me it wouldn't have any problems since they've already installed them on a few ISs. I just could not leave the store without taking them with me. Rubbing only happens on hard turns though. But your 10 inchers are very tempting, hmm.. I am still on my stock tires. I'm contemplating on switching to Bridgestones RE 11.

Ay, you may want to find a way to "seal" the Wedsport and SA 67R inscriptions on the blue band. With time and maybe because of heat, the "SA67R" of my left front is no longer there. I just noticed it yesterday and I only have maybe 4K miles on it. I don't know if a high heat clear paint will do the trick.

Sorry guys, I tried to upload the pictures but after it says it is uploading, it goes nowhere and I don't know where it goes. oarngemig, , I tried running my nails along the edge of the decals and it feels like there might be a clear coat on it already. I'll have my body shop confirm and thanks for the heads up.
