Ok you 3rd geners post all your pics of aftermarket wheel/tire combo's here. No 1st or 2nd gen pics. Lets stick to pictures only. Make sure to state your wheel/tire specs.
Any pics from the back of flush "ness"? I'm looking at maybe 38 or 40mm offset on an 18x8
Wheels: 18 x 8 OZ Ultraleggera (Black Painted)
Offset: +48 mm
Tires: 215/45/R18 Bridgestone Potenza RE-11
Front: Basically flush with fender. Recedes in about 3 mm, which just clears the front fender.
Back: Recedes in about 10 mm, which just clears the back fender.
Wheel Review: The wheels are super light at only 18.4 lbs per wheel. However, the black painted finish is not glossy, it's more of a matte finish, which doesn't match the black glossy paint of the car :/
I would recommend getting a glossy finish wheel to match the glossy paint of the car.
Tire Review: The tires are pretty heavy at 26 lbs per tire. I would recommend getting Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires because the performance is similar, the tread life is twice as much, and they are 4 lbs lighter per tire.
Chicken, Those look very nice, those are now at the top of the list for me. Are those stock color from Enkei? The Stock photos look a lot lighter on their site.

Thanks for you advice when I was asking about sizing. I didn't have 2 ppl in the back but I had my 4 winter wheels, a catback for an IS300 and my overnight bag in there. No rub.Nice man, did you try to drive it with 2 people in the back seat?...Just
to see if it rubs.
Well its decided. Anyone want to buy some factory 18"s? Webersd, how do you like the tires?A few weeks ago I replaced the stock 16" alloys on my iGT with 18x7.5 Enkei EKM3 Gunmetal painted wheels. I put 215/45ZR-18 Continental ExtremeContact DWS XL tires on them.
