Default Volk Progressive ME - Question



Hey guys I'm going back and forth on some wheels for my car and I am leaning towards these.

I found some in these sizes: 19x8.5 +29 & 19x10.5 +43, will this fit on an IS350?

I'm not too sure about the offsets.

19x8.5 +29 & 19x10.5 +43 will rub assuming you use 235/35R19 and 275/30R19 tires (common setup here on CL)

19x8.5 +38 & 19x10.5 +55 with 235/35R19 and up to 285/30R19 will fit without problem even lowered 1" on Eibachs all-around. A member here has done it but with a different wheel albeit with the same specs

Well I called around and was told for an aggressive setup:

19x8.5 +35 F and 19x9.5 +36 rear.

The only sizes in stock are 19x8.5F +29 and 19x10.5 +43. I was told this would fit but, the rear fenders would have to be rolled.

Any of this make sense?

how much are they asking for the set? i think the 10.5 in the rear is over kill but i love it. you may over tire the car with that wide of a tire. i would go with a 10" in the rear.

if you could PM me the info what you find out that would be great.

Thanks! & Good Luck!

With the 29 and 43 you should be fine, minus the front. You just have to roll the front fenders. The 35 and 36 Im pretty sure that should fit too. Im going off my offsets, Im running 29 and 34 but its different with every wheel. I have the TEs.

I think those are on the edge, which will depend on tire choice.

FWIW, I would order the one's you're comfortable with. Sure it takes a while but wheels aren't something I would compromise on for the sake of convenience/expediency.
