What is the biggest diameter of wheels I can use on my IS 250 AWD? Is it gonna be OK if I use 19" wheels for my car? I went to my lexus dealership and asked to a guy over there about the wheel size. He said that I can only use 18" for my car.... Is that true? O ya, Moreover, he said that I'd better not to use spacer also.... Is that also true?

Thanks

I'm using 19"s on my AWD and it's fine. Take a look at this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...45-wheels.html
The specs on the wheels:
19x8.5
+50mm offset

I don't have any spacers on at the moment, but I will need some, especially in the back, the wheels are too tucked in.

another indo eh? hahaa... we'll be glad to help you out... i've seen members doing 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 Front and rears... do it once do it right... try to get perfect offsets so you won't need spacers... intake is not my forte... but i've got F-sport Exhaust...and sounds close enough to an injen IS... so yeah

Hahaha... yaph, I'm Indo.... Stuck in MinneSNOWta.... That's really sucks... I should have bought the IS 350... T_T.....
Btw, About the wheel size.... I though that I can't use staggered wheels for my IS 250 AWD, can I?

What's the best offset that fits my car the most?

@radicalrev: Are you Indonesian too?? Where at?

Gua di LA.

Btw just get 19x9 all around but different offset for front and rear so you won't need spacers.
