Wheels with 45 offset: What size spacers for most aggressive look without rub?
I have an AWD IS250 and I'm getting Five Axis wheels shortly which have a 45 offset all around. What size spacers do you think I could get away with for the most aggressive stance in rear/front without rubbing?

Thanks... but I don't have the wheels just yet. I'm getting set to order and trying to figure out what size spacers I should go with...
Being its AWD I prolly have to go 45 all around, which I don't mind... just need to figure out the spacers now.

Actually I just saw youre now looking for 8.5 +45mm?
With 25mm you are 1mm more aggressive than me, its cutting it close.
20mm would be my best bet if you don't want to do fender mods.... personally though, I would go 25mm because once you see how aggressive you can get, its addicting

No I dont rub at all right now. I am planning to go with a 10" wide rear with +38 offset and super thick 275/35 tires, its going to be so close I think if I over inflate the tires will touch the fender haha... but it will look very sick

Yes, I plan on going 9" front and 10" rear on the awd, there are quite a lot of people doing it on their daily awd IS so as long as the diameter is the same, its a very trivial risk. I would rank it as risky as running spacers, or as risky as using coil-overs.

Alright, so I can tell you guys know this offset stuff MUCH better then I do. I took some measurements (now I mind you the measurments were taken with whats on the vehical now which is 19x8 w/ 235 tire, offset is 40 all around).
From the sidewall to the INSIDE of the lip, here is the room I currently have.
Rear Left: .7" to inside of lip
Rear Right: .6" to inside of lip
Front Left: .5" to inside of lip
Front Right: .6" to inside of lip
I'm now planning on moving to 19x8.5's (.5 inches widder all around and I'm not exactly sure how that effects offset and tire stretch). The new wheels will also have a 45 offset.
SO PLEASE HELP A BROTHA OUT!!! All the math starts to confuse me. How aggressive can I go without rubbing?
EDIT: I also head that when dropping a car you get some negative camber which adds 3-5mm worth of room to play with? Is that true? The car is not dropped yet, but will be shortly.
