Default Wheel Opinion

Alright guys Im finally going to be buying some rims real soon here probably in January. I currently drive a crystal white IS250 6mt.

As of right now I have the JoeZ gunmetal intake/Lexus HKS exhaust/Blue fog overlays/Redouts. I also plan on getting a Fabulous front lip and the Toms rear lip and black pearl emblems. Just so you have a little idea of what my car will look like and which rims would suit my car best.

Right now Im waivering on if I should go for the Work VS-XX (black or gunmetal) or the Work Varianza T1S (black chrome). I plan to drop it at the same time with the Eibach prokit or the F-sport springs (I assume they'd pretty much be identical)

I plan to go 19x8.5 in the front (+35-40 offset?) and 19x10 in the rear (with a +45-50 offset?). And then running 235/35/19 and 275/30/19. Which would be the optimal offset size for the front and rear so that I dont get any rubbing and would look really flush?

Would a 35+ in the front and 45+ work well? Or should I increase those slightly more to be safe?

Thanks a lot guys

Find a rim that no one has rather then to go with one a few already have. If you like black chrome there are more then a couple rims that come in that style.i know one off the top of my head, wedssport SA-70. ill get you a pics and this is one rim i know no one put on there car in this forum

From what I've seen on this forum, +35 front is going to be realllllly close. Maybe +38 to +40 range to be safe. Not sure about the rear with a 10" rim, but +45 is only a few millimeters from stock, so you'd probably be fine.

What drop do you have on the car?
