So if I use 235--265 without lowering/rolling fenders, it shouldn't rub right even with a full turn?

I know I should lower it too, but that won't be for a while.

at stock height, those widths and offsets won't really matter in terms of wheelwell clearance.

you shouldn't be rubbing anywhere, though if you do (the chances of it are slim to none) it might be the fender liner.

I have a 350 with a half finger drop all around. On the front I want to know if 19x9.5 et 42 would fit. Id use a spacer probably and was wondering how wide a tire I could fit? I don't really like stretch so im hoping I can get away with 245/35/19 or 245/30/19. Is this possible?

They actually said I couldn't run O Disk all around. I had to get the A Disk +32 in the front for clearance. Lost a lot of lip

Oh well. Now the 3 month wait.

the backspacing on a 19 x 9.5 +42 wheel is 5/8" farther in (and thus closer to the suspension shock/spring than the oem wheels.

without knowing what kind of clearance oem wheels have, i can't say for sure whether you proposed front wheel specs work.

however, you can "get away" with 245/35-19 on a 19 x 9.5 wheel. i run that exact tire size on my 9.5" wheel.

245/40-19 is almost an inch taller than its 35-series counterpart. you'll have clearance issues w/ that size.

Works VS-XX
19x8.5 +32 (A) disk, 2.5" lip
19x9.5 +29 (O) disk, 3.5" lip

How will these fit?

assuming that you're referring to the set of gold VS-XX's listed in the wheels/tires classified section...

the wheels will fit.

btw, it might help if you ask specific questions.

Yes they are. Will this require any fender mods when lowered 2" or more with coils. Will these fit stock IS350 brakes without spacers? Any rubbing issue when in full turn?

actually, i'm now not sure if those wheels will clear the is350 brake calipers. some have said yes, some have said no, but here's something an approved CL sponsor (and probably someone w/ more expertise in the VS-XX A/O/R disk dilemma) posted a few pages back:

But for IS350 or IS250 with F sport caliper, R disk are required for the front and R disk rear are required.
not sure if that made any sense, but i would contact RavSpec to determine caliper clearance to make sure they actually fit.

in terms of tires, 225/35-19 and 245/35-19. plan for fender work but don't do it until you know that you absolutely have to. do plan heat-gun some of the fender liner out of the way, though.

I think I understood enough to get by. Thanks for the input. I'll look into it more.

front gunna need probably a 15mm spacer and run 215/35 roll your fenders. yes 19x8.5+17 will be just fine.
rear run a 10mm spacer just for looks of having the front like that and run a 225/35 or 235/35, roll or shave and your set.

good luck!

I would just wait for a set of wheels that don't require spacers IMO. I don't see why you would want to do that to your car.

Can you fit a square set of 19x10.5 +15 all around? I'm pretty sure the rear will just take a minor stretch and more negative camber. But can the front get that aggressive without being obliterated?

rear will need a pull just so you know. if no pull you have to tuck the WHOLE tire and run -6.5* camber with the addition of megan camber and toe links.

the front will NEED A PULL and removal of the bumper tab. you will need to stretch a 235/35 and itll fit

this is a very aggressive setup but will turn out great if you go ahead with it
