I have pulled front and rear fenders and shaved rear fender.

I am looking at

Front

19x9.5 ( + 13 or +15 )

Rear

19x10.5 ( + 15 or 17 )
or
19x11 ( + ?)

Wondering if I am in the right numbers for aggressive fitment and where I am wanting to sit..
you're in the right ballpark for aggressive fitment.

given the very narrow range of offset choices (2mm), it's almost like splitting hairs between the two. most people won't be able to tell the difference between +13 and +15 (or +15 and +17).

Wheels geniuses, will these work with NO fender mod's (I am not lowered, although I will be.... someday )

Work Rezax
19x9 +26
19x10 +26

Closest help I found in this thread was the following, so I'm leaning towards they wont work...

Thanks for the input. Is a 225/35 on a 10" an extreme stretch? Either way, i think i'd rather roll my rears than be stretched, but need to find someone/some place eventually to do that for me.

Why not just ride on rims? Don't get the whole stretch tire thing

"hellaflush".

and you don't have to get "it" (tire stretching, low offsets, etc.) if it's not for you.

I was planning on getting the 19x9.5 and 19x10.5+22 but they said I would have to wait 2-3months but they have +12. I already had the front and back rolled and pulled how much more of a pull or rolling would I need to do for the +12? too much camber and tire wear?

At first I questioned it, but after being an IS owner for a couple months now I wanna go for that Hellaflush look/feel haha!

So my question for those who run at least somewhat aggressive fitment is, do you think I'll get that flush look with what I may be planning?
F: 18x9+25
R:18x10.5+20

I'm on RoadMagnet springs and F-sport shocks front and rear so I have a pretty generous drop for not being on coils. Haha I might have the lowest non-coil IS on CL, so would running a 18x10.5 with a fat *** lip cause too much problems in terms of rolling/shaving? Your help is greatly appreciated!!!

Abusing the system and asking for help again

Vossen CV1
19x8.5 +32
19x10 +38

Tire sizes? No rubbing issues?

Vossen sales guy suggested tires, but i like getting multiple opinions/suggestions. I believe he suggested:

235/35
275/??

Dont recall seeing many people running 275's if I'm not mistaken either. I'm stock height, fyi.

Thanks for the help!

Ive read through this entire thread... almost 175 pages, took about 2.5 hours skimming but i couldnt find anything similar to what i would like to run....heres my specs and from the information i have gathered, what i think would work. Seems most people with an IS don't like running 9.5 in the fronts.

volk rims,
19x9.5 +17
19x10.5 +24

and i think i should run 225/35 on fronts, and a 245/35 on rears. Correct?
What fender mods will be required?
(and im not as slammed anymore as my sig, i raised it to get over the inevitable speed bumps in LV)

Also, here is a good website for references that helped me before and with other cars that may help some people.

rolled fenders + light pull. relocate the fender tab bolts if you need extra clearance.

unlike the calculator that you have to pay for in your link, this thread is free.

275/30-20, i'd think?

you should have no issues at stock height.

roll and light pull + shave the fender tabs (or "relocate" them altogether).

9.5"-wide wheels up front is do-able, but the wheels would need to have the right offset to clear the suspension arms and the brake calipers. after that, it's just a matter of working the fenders to make the wheels fit.
