After having to take the wheels back off after purchasing them because the fenders needed a drastic roll and the wheel liners to be molded a little. Today I was finally able to slap these bad boys back on. Here's the specs:

Enkei Kojin
18x8.5 +35

Hankook Ventus V12 Evo's
245/35's on all 4

Enjoy!

No turbo. Not for awhile at least. Just a bunch of suspension goodies. Intake, headers, y pipe, cat back, shift kit.

I would like for it to be turbo some day though. Either TT Aristo swap or turbo the existing motor.

Your IS would look nice with some carbon parts like hood and trunk. To break up all the white. Then while your at it some fender port holes and LED light strips under the headlights, mirrors and anywhere else that leds are needed.

Just kidding on the last double sided tape add ons. Lol

I have a JDM 2jzgte that I'm debating on selling. Zero miles fresh rebuild with all the goodies. Stock pistons and rods though. Wasn't planning on a 1k build just a 600-700 hp and how it's built it will handle that all day long. It's on craigslist right now.

Btw how wide of a tire will fit in the rear? When you turbo you'll definitely need more meat back there. I'd think 275s?

I have a carbon fiber rear spoiler that will be put on this week. I also have a RMM front lip that has a carbon fiber center section that still needs paint waiting to go on debadging the trunk and putting on a black chrome L center badge instead of all the chrome. We will see how it looks, but I also have some carbon mirror covers. CF hood is deff on the list of parts to get.

As far as turbo goes, it's not going to happen for awhile. There's going to have to be another car for me to drive while I do it. I will pass the word on your CL posting though.

I think you're right on that.
