Default Question regarding14 f sport AWD wheels

Hi everyone, Im looking at this set of 19 inch f sport wheels from a local seller.

It's a square set up 19x9 all 4 wheels, he said this was the oem set up, but I'm pretty sure the stock Awd set up is 19x8 for all 4 wheels. Can someone confirm this?

My other question is, would 19x9 fit without rubbing? Can I still use the stock Awd tire size 235/40-19 or do I need to up the tire size? (I don't want to stretch the tires too much)

Thank you for your help! I would love to see some pics of anyone is running all 4 19x9 stock wheels.

Thanks!

19X8 all around is the setup on AWD. Im not sure if the stock 19X9s would rub or not in the front; they have a pretty high offset.

If that was his OEM setup then it should have been 19x8 in front and 19x9 in back for RWD or 19x8 around for AWD. Which car does he have?
Have him take pictures of the wheels with a tape measure showing the width. It could be my eyes- but the two front wheels appear to sit higher than the back. Seeing you're in CA, I wouldn't expect to see a lot of AWD setups.

Regardless - 265/35/19 is the oem tire size for the rear 19x9. I wouldn't try to put a 235 on there

If we are referencing an F-Sport AWD, 265 is not the stock tire width, it is a 235

If those are OEM wheels then they are 19x9 et60mm. "'m not sure if they will fit the front because of the higher offset moving the wheel a bit closer toward the suspension. It may not clear the caliper and require spacers. You could potentially run 245/40/19 tires all around with a slight stretch if a tire/wheel shop could make it all work.

Someone else may have done OEM 19x9 front/back over the years but I haven't been able to find that thread. However, I have seen many members upsizing to 20x9 wheels up front with a 32mm offset: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...sport-rwd.html

If at all possible, look for 19x8 wheels for you AWD to make things easier. These OEM option F-Sport wheels are worth a look at well:
