here's my wheel/tire situation for my 2012 IS350 AWD

rear setup: 18x9.5 +22 with 275/35s
front setup: 18x9.5 +40s with ???

which tire size (rolling diameter < 1%) should I go for to prevent rubbing and heavy steering? Thanks!

I have a 2009 AWD IS250 and was looking to get some 18" wheels. I want them to be flush all around, but I have no idea on what wheels specs to run or what tires I would need. Any suggestions?

Thank!

Default help with new set up

hey guys lookin to order some custom wheels
trying to see what would be the best route to go with 19s, size for wheels , offsets and tire size.
I am static, fenders are rolled. I want to raise my car up as driving low on 18s has been pretty rough. I want to fill the wheel gap, and be flush, and as concave as possible front and rear. Iwant to avoid stretching tires if possible Hope that helps. Any advice is appreciated




edit: I'm thinkin 19x9.5 front 19x10.5 rear
also i do not have bbk and dont plan on getting it

Running

18x9.5 front
18x10.5 rear

What would be the best tires?

was thinking
235/35/18
245/35/18

Rolling Diameter is just above 1 at 1.1%. Would I be able to get away with that?
If not, what better tires to run? I want to maintain the same/similar stretch between the front and rear.

Default Square Tires on Staggered Wheels

Hey everyone! Taking a look at the thread, I’m seeing lots about running staggered tires on staggered wheels for AWD.

But I’m curious if running square tires on staggered wheels is an issue? (235/40/19 on 19x8 and 19x9).

Any input is appreciated!
