Default 30mm offset in the rear

guys, im curious........
would a 30mm offset on a is250 work in the rear? I currently have a 38mm offset and i was told it may fit since at aspec products they were able to fit 350z rims on a IS350 with a little fender rolling.

many people use mid 40s for the rear, probably going to rub

yeah, i was worried about that.........
i just dont want my rims to be sunken in, the 19x9.5 i have now is almost perfect, and should be pretty much flush with the fender once its camber is adjusted.

You have a rear camber adjustment? Which 250 do you have?

+30 would be a bit too aggressive for the IS. Unless you get a smaller rim width, then it's doable. But you lose alot of tread on the inside.

If you are doing a 9.5" width rim. My suggestion would be +35 or +36 if you want to trail on the aggressive side.

I HAVE AN IS250 WITH 18X8.5 38 OFFSET IN FRONT AND 18X9.5 WITH A 30MM OFFSET, WITH A ONE INCH DROP, LOOKS PERFECT. NO RUBBING IN THE REAR , DO NOT HAVE ROLLING FENDER. WILL POST PICS SO YOU CAN SEE.

I have 18x9 with a +35mm offset with OEM tires, and I can't believe that they don't rub.

if you're really curious, grab some spacers and test fit them on behind your current wheels. grab a 5mm universal spacer just to test fit and see how much clearance you have.
