Default 19" Wheel Offset ???

Hello All:

New to this site...Just picked up a new 08 is250 and im ready to swap the wheels. Im looking at getting some used work rezax II 19x8.5 Front and 19x9.5 rear...the offset for the front and back are +32. Will I have any issues? I looked thru the wheel tread over and over...found a few peps running less offset.. Also..im going for the stretched tire look

thanks

I just got a set of 19's with 35 offset in the front and 1" lowered with f-sport springs and I have rubbing. If you aren't lowered and don't plan to be you might be okay.. if you lower then yes you'll probably rub a bit with 32.

thanks for the reply...i most likely will be lowering it with the same springs or teins. Is it rubing on the fender linear? Also hows the ride with the springs?

linear? not sure what you mean by that but it's mostly when I make U turns. Not sure exactly where it rubs yet. I just got my rims yesterday. Have to diagnose it later... The ride is fine feels close to the same compared to before i got my rims. I think because when I was on stocks my tires were all worn down and they felt crappy. When i switched to the Bridgestone re960 all seasons they feel about the same. One side effect of getting 19's are that now I dont accellerate as fast or stop as well. Feels like the car can't roll as good anymore either I think it's because of the big 10' wide tires in the back. Handling doesn't feel as good either. Not sure I know exactly why.. I think cuz it's low profile slightly streched tires instead of the meatier stock sized tires. Oh well at least they look real good now! heheh
