Default MRR GT-1 Wheels owners Plz help me with this

Hello

I just ordered the wheels and tires for my 07 IS350

19x8.5 35 offset 235/35/19 HanKook VentusV12
19x9.5 45 offset 255/35/19 HanKook VentusV12

Is this going to fit?

Is this goind to rub?

My car is lowered with Eibach Pro Kit

And What lug nuts should I get?(size, brand, etc...)

I'm running same wheels (diameter/width/offset).

Those will fit fine, you can do a 275/30/19 in back and still not rub. The slightest rub might happen with fronts, but not enough to worry about.

Sorry, can't advise you on lug nuts since they came with my wheels.

The Hankook tires in question were very highly rated by C&D magazine.

The tires will be fine unless you plan to autocross or track the car on a regular basis.

Per C&D:

"Deceptively quick” is a good summation of the Hankook Ventus V12 Evos because they often didn’t feel as strong as they actually were, particularly in the dry. Their fourth-place autocross time wasn’t spectacular, but they did outlap the benchmark Michelin PS2s.
