if you read isthrizzy's post correctly (obviously, you didn't), i don't think he meant that it's his tires that are rubbing on the coilovers, but that he's got tire/fender rubbing issues and he's on coilovers. if that's the case, adding 3-5mm spacers would cause even more rubbing.

there's nothing wrong with running 275/30-20 tires on 20x10 +40. theoretically it should fit (though i haven't really thought about it... yet).

btw, not everyone is or cares to jump into into the low-offset wheel game. if you have to resort to insults ("homo offset"? really?) because others' choices of wheel specs don't sit well with you, don't bother posting in here. this thread is for 2is owners to ask questions about fitment, not for 2is owners to be praised or bashed for their individual choice of wheel specs.

and if you're not offering helpful advice (3-5mm spacers when he's got tire-fender rubbing? seriously?), deuces.

OEM or aftermarket?

OEM i know the RWD have wider rear tires then the front, and the AWD are all the same size so would they work?

Anyway i can get away with a 19x9.5 +22 all around without fender mods?

Front 19X8.5 +35 235/35/19
Rear 19X9.5 +36 255/35/19

Lower 1.5 inches all around or about 1.5 finger gap

Do I need to roll or shave fenders?

no you shouldnt have to mod your fenders. run a 225/35 up front so you dont catch the fenders on driveways when un even.

That was my previous issue and thanks to all your help I was able to solve some issues, now I have a different route but ill make it short, you told me I could run 265/30 with the 15mm spacer but that I would need COILOVERS.... guess what... picking up my coils TONIGHT ... now this is the new dilemn, honestly my 245/40 have a lot of thread left and I dont feel like selling for 265/30 right now. so my question is...


running 19*10.5 +42 on a 245/40 ON COILS, whats the biggest spacer I can comfortably run??


Thanks alot guys!!

you could run a 15mm with a 245/40 with completely rolled fenders. you could run a 20mm with 235/35. or a 265/30.

mv thanks again, your the man brotha


its crazy tho cuz right now on springs I feel like if I go any lower in the back I will rub the tire against the top "fabric"

EDIT: now I see you say COMPLETELY rolled fenders, does that mean pulled too? mine are a little pulled....

so then I COULD run 245/40 on a 15mm as long as I am on coils? I only ask again cuz I thought I HAD to run 265/30 to run the 15mm, which would put me at +27 in the rear.

Hey guys I'm new to the forums but searched the thread and didnt find what i needed so heres my question! I'm planning on buying some Vossen VVS-083's 19x8.5 (32 offset) and 19x10 (38 offset). I have a 2006 IS250 riding stock height. What size tires would be best (to still keep some performance and not be a bumpy ride) and would they rub at all at stock height and if not could I possibly lower it a little without having rubbing issues? Im going for this look but in 19's (http://www.vossenwheels.com/CarGalle...VVS083-81.aspx) Thanks in advance!

225/35-19 + 255/35-19.

be prepared.

DY3K1D

so i could just run stock size tires on 19s? some people were saying to go up to 235/35 and 265/35. is that something to look into? or would I rub if I dropped my car with those tires. thanks for the quick reply dna!

yes, you can run OEM-width tires on your proposed wheel specs.

i recommended 225/35-19 + 255/35-19 to give you ample clearance if/when you decide to lower your 2is, though 235/35-19 + 265/35-19 may work as well.

if your a little pulled its only gunna give you more clearance. and the only way to truly truly know is to put them on and lower the car. cause all tires are different. but i ran a 245/35 on a 10.5+22 without any rubbing. and my guess is the taller sidewall will cause less stretch, and fill in the 5mm difference in the offset.
