i jus bought my is250 a week ago and im lookin into getting 19's with some killer offset so my ? is for those who has them is whats the lowest offset and width that most guys run i know that i have to pull etc. jus really looking into offsets cause i really want my car to have a good stance thanks
i recommend looking around/searching for others' rides and then asking how you can achieve that stance.

Ive been good with the modding lately so its time to get back on track.
Trying to order some enkei nt03 right now.
18x8.5 +38
18x9.5 +27
For the front,
Looks like I will be fine up front on the rims(correct me if wrong please!), wondering..
1.If tire size 235/40/18 would be too meaty?
For the rear,
1.Will stock 255/40/18 tires be fine?
2.Will I need to roll the rear fender regardless of tire size?

Hi All, new member and just got my new 2011 IS 350 AWD last month. Love it...except the ride hight and the 17" wheels. 
Thinking of getting either an Eibach or F-sport spring set to lower the ride height and am looking at getting some Linea Corse 818s 19" x 8.5"w.
I have seen a lot of discussion on this forum on what tires to get for a staggered set-up but not much on non-staggered. Other than looks, I don't see the point in running a non-staggered set-up on an AWD system designed for non-staggered.
just my opinion...
So question is what is the ideal set-up for AWD non staggered if one wants to put on 19"?
1010 tire calc. says the closest diameter to the stock 225/45/17s are
- 255/30R19 (.02% diff) or a 255/35R18 (.02 diff). but 255 is pretty thick...Would the tires be too meaty upfront? will I be getting rub? Thinking of getting the 8.5" wide rims.
Second best would be 245/30R19 at .77% diff...
thoughts, comments would be greatly appreciated

so you could fit 8.5+38 9.5+45 but idk if you actually want 10+38 and 12+45. widths of the wheels would help

borbet XA
Hi,
I plan on buying these used Borbet Xa rims tomorrow.
all of them are 8,5 x 19 - ET 35 and come with tires 245-35-19
I know especially the front is not the best tire size, but can I just put them on and run them until the tires need to be replaced? Or will they rub?
(i am not lowered)
