(i question the use of 30-series tires vs. 35-series tires, but he's on coilovers and his ride height is low.)
so you think i can use 35 series front and back for my set-up since im only lowered on stechs?? thanks again.

yes, but only for 225 and 255 for front and rear, respectively.

if you plan to go w/ 265 in the rear, you will have to run 30-series.

Default Front Wheels 18x9 offset +40

Does anyone know if 18x9 - offset +40 will fit on the front of a 2006 IS350?

Hey guys could be getting some rims for a good deal. I'm running an AWD lowered on F-sports. I don't want to do any fender mods, the offsets aren't too aggressive but just double checking to make sure they'll work out.

They are
18x8.5 +35
18x9.5 +41

plan on running with
225/40 front
255/35 rear

How bad would 225/35/19 and 245/35/19 be on an AWD. The rolling diameter difference is 3.03% in the rear. Could I get away with it without screwing anything up?

free wheels?

i'd pick them up in a heartbeat and worry about what size spacers to run later.

(btw, 15mm spacers, all four corners.)
