Everything depends on not only the rim size and offsets but ALSO... the drop/the tire size you want *big tire or vip stretch*/do you want to mod the fenders or not... everything is kinda interconnected AND cheeper to do it the right way for the look you want the first time.

The 35mm on the rear will rub depending on the tire. if you go stretch you wont rub. like llamaboiz said, it depends on what you want. the point is that those offsets are possible on the IS just play with tres and lowering.
+43mm in the front wont flush at all, you need at least + 36 to be in the flush range

thanks for all the info guys, i don't really plan on modding my fenders but with the offset that i provided on the volks, do i need to? so i need at least +36 in the front to make it flushed? oh and last, what website would you guys recommend that sell volks?

Default I love my MRR Staggerd setup.

The 20's on the back just look SICK and I am OLD. The 19's do not do justice for this car. I did not think I would like the staggered setup, but it looks great. i need to lower it but i love the ride. the tires are just a little bit noisier, but tolerable. I might go lower, we will see. My offset and size are perfect.
Wheels MRR Polished wheels. TPMS compatible, actually just put them in this evening, it was EASY.
Tires F452, the are JUST OK.
235/35/19 Front 275/30/20 Back
