Default Which of these offsets will clear 350 Brakes?

I can get an ok deal on some barely used 5Zigen 19" SC3000s for $800 w/ 70% Falkens. They are coming off a 1998 GS400, the guy does not remember the offsets so I am curious which of these will clear the IS350 brakes. I am almost positive he said it wasnt highest or lowest offsets when he chose it so I'm assuming its going to be +38.

+25 / +38 / +45

depending on the width all of those offsets will work I had 19x9+25's up front and they were fine... some people are running in the low teens I believe

Its 19x8.5F, 19x9.5R

So I'm guessing he has +38F and either +38R or +45R

Another question.

lets say I want to try on these wheels to see if they rub and what not, and my tire light comes on. Will they go away after I reinstall my stock wheels on with the tpms system? Or will they need to be reprogrammed at the dealer?

See if your TPMS will fit in the new wheels. If not, search the 2IS forum for solutions - there are several:
  1. TPMS "pipe bomb"
  2. Place TPMS in spare
  3. etc.

Yes, it will go away again.

Nice looking wheels, btw.
