ya it is, this is usually because you sit on the driver side. you just have to cut the tabs away until you stop rubbing, mine was fully removed because there was always rubbing.

Didn't want to make a whole thread for one question,so thought I'd ask in here.

Okay,currently I own a 2008 RWD IS250.I was wondering how wide I can get the rims and tires without modding.

Then how wide I can go with certain mods.Also,I want to go with a really aggressive look.I found some pics of how I'd like it,I'm pretty sure it's JDM IS250's car.




So any ideas on what I would need to get or do to get my car to look that aggressive?

no fender mods = no aggressive offsets, unless you're riding at stock height - which will look ridiculous.

answer these questions first:

how low will your ride height be when you opt for replacement wheels?

what type of set-up do you plan to run - square (same wheel widths all around) or staggered (different front/rear wheel widths)?

are you willing to run semi-stretched/stretched tires?

the two most important things that you need to figure out are how wide of wheels you want to run and at what ride height.

when you figure those two out, feel free to ask what offsets and tire sizes.

btw, no fender mods = no aggressive offsets.

Well,the thing I was wondering,is what I need to run to have aggressive fitment.I honestly don't care about the process,more focused on the results.

I apologize for being so ambiguous,but all I know as of now is that I want Advans.

Thank you for the help though!I'll try to research more and come back with the newly attained knowledge.

roll your fenders, figure out how flush or how muhc poke you want and ill tell you what to do..... until you find, widths, height, and some what how you want it we cant help
here is a start
most aggressive without mods
19x8.5+30 215/35
19x9.5+32 235/35

without pull
19x9.5/10.5+22 225/35 245/35

after those sets the mods become heavier and needed/

I couldn't find any clear answer on vehicles that weren't lowered, but does anyone know if - on a stock setup - a 245/35R18 will fit on the front of an '06 IS 250? Stock offset and stock wheel (18x8).

My buddy has a pair of some great Continental tires of that size and has no use for them and asked if I wanted them, and my current tires about need replaced. I'm thinking they might rub, but only on extreme corners (U-Turns, hard overs, etc...).

I am sincerely sorry,I honestly don't know anything about wheels.Could you explain to me what the numbers mean.I know what the first 3 numbers mean at least.

Also,I'll try to supply more info.But could I run F:19x9 R:19:10
I would like to get the Advan RS and those are the only sizes with the right bolt pattern.

making sense of the numbers:

19" x 8.5" +30
(wheel diameter x wheel width, wheel offset)

215/35-19
(treadwidth / aspect ratio - wheel diameter)
