I'm thinking about running the 19" genesis wheels on my 07 is250 awd. The rims come staggered 19x8 and 19x8.5. My car will be lowered on H&Rs so I'm wondering what would be the ideal tire size for this set up. Any advice is appreciated!

Hey guys I'm a noob to the staggered set up so I need some advice. I'm dropped 1.25 on meagan springs. Had 20x8.5 all around before 245/30/20 tires off set was 35 no rub or anything. I'm getting ready to order two sets of wheels. I'm getting ready to pick up two sets of wheels and need to figure out what tires and off sets to go with and not have to stretch my tires roll my fenders or anything crazy

First set
19x8.5 front
19x9.5 rear
Second set
20x9 front
20x10 rear

Thought I would bring this thread back up. Here's my set up. Avant Garde M310. Front 19x8.5+35. Back 19x9.5+40.....I know I know "drop it". Will be doing that soon. Just got these wheels yesterday.

Concept One Vision; Black with Polished Lip
Front: 19x8.5 +38, Nexen N3000 235/35/19 Minor rubbing front passenger on tight turns
Back: 19x9.5 +45, Nexen N3000 265/30/19 No Problems
Dropped on H&R Springs

No difference on gas milage, car feels a little heavier, never had a lowered car on rims (im a newbie lol). Any thoughts on what could be causing the rubbing?

How are the Megan springs? Are they soft compared to stock or other competitors?

How's your tire wear? Are your tires stretched?

Thanks

I don't see many people running 18s! Or I just didn't look hard enough...

Anyways, anybody got stagger 18" setup on their IS250 AWD?

I'm dropped on H&R so just wondering if there's a safe staggered setup for 18", stretched

Front 19x9 et 24 215-35-19

Rear 19x10 et 24 225-35-19

dropped on road magnet springs with no rubbing.

Can't wait for my BC coils so i can go low!
