EDIT: UPDATE: With the sport suspension I rubbed the plastic liner like crazy. The 225/45 was way too tall. I am currently running 235/35 on the front with my 15mm spacer. I rub slightly on extreme bumps. In the rear I'm running a 255/35 with my 20mm spacer and I'm rubbing at the top of the wheel well on the lip. I'm going to have to shave a few mm off the fender lip or get a smaller spacer to avoid rubbing. I love the look of it though.



Is the rubbing better or worse after you change your rear tires to 255-35-19??

How big (or How wide) is the tire-to-fender interference with your current set up right now?

Would SC430 rims with 235/40-18's fit an IS350 rwd?

Friend has an old set of winter tires on the SC430 rims and I was wondering if they'd be ok on the IS350

I wonder what might cause your lip to rub the fender with the 20mm. I am at 19x10.5+33 rear and a lot lower. I rub tire but not lip.
when I had the 15mm spacers on my lip did hit the fender.

225/35-19, 245/35-19.

fender work is a must in the rear.

you can run +20 in the front but you'll need fender work and 215/35-19.

fender mods are a must. roll + pull. shaved fender tabs.

you can try 225/35-19 + 245/35-19 for the stretched look.

max width is 235/35-19 + 265/30-19? Mv350 should have a better idea.

on springs you're gunna have crazy poke, please dont do it
almost like this


get some coils, and if you are going to still do it, youll have to run 215/35 and 235/35 to get the stretch you need

on coils you can run up to a 225/35 and 245/35 and with pull you can go bigger

It was actually a little worse. Saturday I shaved about 1/4" off the rear lip and I have no rubbing now.

They are the stock 2002 SC430 rims, with the giant covers...

18x8 with the 5X4.5inch

Just wondering if that with the 235/40-18's all around would be okay.

wheel offsets?

not that i don't want to tell you if it fits or not, but just because it's 18x8 w/ 235/40-18 tires doesn't mean it'll bolt right up and clear is350 brake calipers.

^^ I THINK you'll get away with it I run the same suspension and very close offset. It was at +27 that my lip was hitting the fender.

I was thinking about buying the varrstone 1.1.2 they come in 19x9.5 offset 22 front. 19x11offset 22 in the back , would I need any fender work? If so what kind? And what kind of tires should I run?

Thank you

Thank you
the front, needs a slight pul and shaving for the tab. the rear needs A LOT of work. Probably a 1.5'' to 2.0" pull. tire sizes you could go 225/35 front and try a 245/35 rear. if not then 255/35. the 245 for 11" rear might be too stretched but my friend did it and it looked sick.
