Default How will these fit?

Hey so I may be getting some Five Axis rims and tires with specs:
19x8.5, 19x9.5 245/35, 265/35

I was wondering if I have stock body, then would they rub or anything? And ill be getting new springs or spacer.

shouldn't rub unless you go to offsets in the 25 range and tuck tires[Correct me if i'm wrong].

So your going new rather then my used? Sall good, I see how it is! lol.. j/k

yes, you'll be fine. Five Axis designed these wheels to fit the IS250/350 perfectly. Your tires are way off though. Your front is way to huge. The sidewall will look HUGE compared to your rear. Go with a 225 or 235 at the most for the front.

Your rear is okay, depending on what front you pick.

Here, i'll keep it simple. These are the tire choices you should pick.

225/35/19 & 265/30/19
or
235/35/19 & 275/30/19

I would go w/ the 2nd choice.

Well if those 245's are mounted on the front wheels and are a 'package deal', you'll regret it. The front will rub ever single slight bump/hill/turn... basically everything you'll encounter while driving. Our front wheel well is way too small for a 245 tire, trust me. I tried 245's only to return them to TireRack the very next day.

If your on a budget, get the Kumho Ecta SPT from tire rack, 235/35/19 all around (for my wheels) and they will only cost you $488.00 total. They are $122.00ea brand new
