I have a 2006 IS350 and wanted to see if my brothers wheels from his Acura TL Type-S will fit. They are Work 18x8.5 +30 on all 4 wheels.

 

+29 will fit, but its gotta clear the brake. just roll all your fenders, and run 225/35 up front, 235/35 out back. the +31 will fit without any problems also.
If rolling them isnt a problem you can fit either spec you want in the rear.
as long as they are "R" Disc, if not youll have to run spacers up front to clear the brakes. but yes those will fit.

 

Can I run 225/35 and 235/35 on 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 +22 all around on an AWD?

 

So i ordered a set of wheel and tires from wheeldude.com and they finally came in. Well the sent me the wrong tires (Ordered V12 evos, got piece of **** FK452s) Waited 6 weeks~ for them to get here. Asked for 225 fronts, got 235s and obviously now I am rubbing on the fender lining. Im dropped on Fsports so I know it is an easy fix, but because I am not too aggressive (+30 offset front) I shouldnt need any fender mods? I hear the rubbing when I make a slow left turn more then 45 degrees....

I just hate the fact I sent them countless emails/PMs and they even told me they would switch the tires. The day after my order ships they finally reply to me on CL and say what name was your order under we can reserve a set for you.... I ALREADY PAID LOL

 

1. suspension modifications + ride height?
2. willingness to modify fenders?
3. why run a staggered set on an AWD 2is (vs. square set)?

no, you won't need fender modifications.

the rubbing noise you hear is most likely the tire against the fender liner. since you've only provided partial information (vs. full wheel + tire specs), it's a best guess.

btw, imo for daily driving fk452's are not as bad compared to v12 evo's as you might think. i run a semi-stretched size (215 on 8.5" wheel), and they're worlds better compared to the other 215's i've ran.

(slightly off-topic, but i'd rather do my own sourcing of tires than depend on another company. that way, i can get the brand, model, and size of my own choosing and not have to go through the hassle of trying to correct someone else's mistake.)

 

Yea next time wheels only no tires until they arrive.

My specs are 19x8.5 +30 in the front. tires are 235/30/19

 

shouldn't need fender work.

 

1. Megan EZ and I'm shooting for no finger gap
2. Yeah I'm gonna have to mod them
3. I don't know lol. Is it a good idea or is 235/35/19 all around a better idea?

 

* 5x114.3 | Hub bore: 73.1 | Hubcentric | Staggered or Non-Staggered
* +12 +0 clears Factory Brembo
19x9.5 +0 Hyper Black / Hyper Silver
19x9.5 +12 Hyper Black / Hyper Silver
19x9.5 +22 Hyper Black / Hyper Silver
19x10.5 +0 Hyper Black / Hyper Silver
19x10.5 +12 Hyper Black / Hyper Silver
19x10.5 +22 Hyper Black / Hyper Silver

I Would like to run staggered. But idk what offset to do.
Would I have to do fenders mods?
I have a 07 is350 x package. I'm new to this

 

roll + lightly pull fenders, shave fender tabs.

235/35-19 would be perfect for the 9.5 but a very considerable stretch for the 10.5.

being that you have the AWD system, i'm not sure the proposed wheel specs will work for you since the rolling diameters would NOT be the same.

you're better off going with a square set-up and/or less-aggressive specs.

w/ 9.5/10.5 wheels, you'll need fender mods at +40-something offset.

at +22 and lower, you're looking at considerable fender work. roll + shaved fender tabs. the lower the offset, the more you'll have to pull and run stretch tires. it'll take more work than most people would be comfortable with.

btw, those look like varstoenn specs. they're more suitable for G35/37 coupes, since they can run more aggressive offsets than the 2is.

 

Yeah they are the varrstoen specs. So i would need aroun +30s to be clean. I want to be flush.

 

for a 9.5"/10.5" set-up to be "flush", probably high 30's to low 40's.

 

I just contacted them at varrstoen and what about 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 +30 all around. So fender mods or no. Would turning radius be a problem if it's 9.5 in front? Also what tire size should I run on these. I'm going to pre order these sets

 

you realize that the difference between +22 and +30 is 8 mm, right?

anyways, before answering anything else, what ride height do you plan for your 2is to be or would like to be at?

 

Called up Modbargains and talked to Alan about getting my hands on some MM6 wheels, which are LM reps in a different color, since Wheeldude only has them in hyper silver. He said he'd be able to get me the wheels in 5 x 114.3 wheel pattern, so hopefully, in a few months, that'll still be true. :P

I'm a little tucked in the rear, and about a little less than a pinky gap in the front.

Wheels:
19 x 8.5 ET 40 (Maybe 35? Which do you rec?)
19 x 9.5 ET 40
Tires:
225/40/19 Fronts
255/40/19 Rears

Will I rub? I'm open to rolling my fenders.
