looks good, what if i decide to go lower maybe with some s-techs or road magnets? would the fender roll be sufficient?

I am thinking about going with the following set up and was hoping if someone can help me answer some questions:

19x8.5 +32
19x9.5 +35

What would be a good tire size to go with for this size?
Would I need to do any fender mods?
Would I need any spacers to make the wheels flush?

I plan on having some megen coilovers in the next month or so. Thanks

1. how low do you plan or want to go?
2. how much fender work are you comfortable with?
3. what's your definition of "flush"?

I plan on going about a no finger gap. Really don't want to do any fender work. As long as the wheel lines up with the fender as much as I can without rubbing would be good for me. I hope that answers the questions. Thanks for the help

225/35-19 up front and 255/35-19 in the rear should be fine for your posted offsets and zero finger gap ride height.

no fender work = no spacers. those widths and offsets are at the limit in terms of not needing fender work.

Will Work XD9 18 x 10 +38 with 275/35/18 for the rears be a good fit without rubbing on RWD IS250. Planning on lowering slighting as well.

And the fronts 18 x 8 225/40/18 , +45 or + 35 better fit?

Thanks

i put on my LE's 19 8.5 and 9.5 +22 all around, 225/35 and 245/35. I didn't put coils on yet and im on s-techs and had my fenders rolled. my front left tire is rubbing when i turn left (not even at full lock, maybe 3/4 turn). i found out its rubbing against the very inner well. anyone have this problem? rubbing is where the yellow circle is.

DoTheDrew, it's pretty common for people to rub right there, all you have to do is get a heat gun and heat it up then push it in a little then the problem should go away.

Im getting ready to buy LFA style wheels and the sizes are 19x8.5 with 38 offset all around and lowered on f-sport springs. What tire size should I use and will I have any rubbing issues?

Will th wheels be close to flush to the fenders or would I need spacers?

yes.

go with thinner, 35-series tires.

consider fender modifications as a last resort for clearance if your tire size causes clearance issues.
