Default Volk fitment help

Hi, I have a IS350 lowered on eibachs. I am considering the Volk SF Challenge wheels. The rear is 19 x 9.5 +36. If I run 265/30 back there, will I have any rubbing issues? Anyone know if the wheel is too aggressive? I don't want to roll any fenders. Appreciate any feedback.

Thanks. I was just worried about the offset because I did a search and found posts where the +36 seemed questionable.

With 265/30 you're good. Anything larger and you're rolling the dice.

I have 19x9.5 +35 out back with a 275/30/19, lowered on Tein S-techs with zero issues. You'll be fine.

30 sidewall seems kinda low, you might want to run 35 sidewall. I had 265/35 on my Works with +38 offset. No rub what so ever.

You are going to have a good amount of wheel gap with eibach springs. I would go with thicker tires to fill the fender. I havent any issues in the rear at all. The wheels camber nicely under compression. The front is where most people have issues, but if you are on eibachs you will be fine.

I was rubbing like a champ with Eibachs, 275/35 Nittos, and +36 19x9.5 Volks in the rear. Maybe it was the brand of tire or the way it was mounted, but I still wouldn't chance it.

Just FYI.

275/35 is too thick. I would go 265/35. Thats what I have and a +36 offset on coils.

I really appreciate it. I have been debating wheels for a while now and narrowed down to the Volks or the Linea Corsa Dyna. Just waiting to hear back if the Linea Corsa Dyna still requires the spacers. If they do then Volks it is
