thought i ask since FIGS is running a 305mm tire out back, roughly 11.5-12" wide tire

so i kinda used that to ask about rim specs hoping it wouldn't be too far off.

doesn't matter. the single-digit offset specs along with the wheel widths make your proposed wheel specs impossible to fit under oem sheetmetal fenders without some major work fender and/or new sheetmetal.

there are also two measurements that can be calculated from the wheel width and offset, and it's called the "frontspacing" and "backspacing".

frontspacing is the distance between the inside mounting pad and the outside edge of the wheel, and backspacing is the distance between the inside mounting pad and the inside edge of the wheel.

without boring you with math, what your seller has told you is basically this: your new, wider wheels have the same frontspacing as your old, narrower wheels. obviously, the backspacing of your new wheels will obviously greater than that of the old wheels.

thanks for reading.
Much appreciated for the help

Along with the next question... (sorry I'm in the process of finding my next set)

How to make these fit (common sizing)?:

19x9.5 +22
19x10.5 +22

Can I get away with natural camber or do I need megan camber arms? And will I be able to run it with 225/35 255/35? Thanks

I have a IS250 running on 17" original setup with no mods at all.
I would like to run 19" and am looking on ebay for wheels to ship to Sweden. However, I am a little bit new into this with rims. What specs should I be looking for? I do U-Turns alot and do not want any rubb at all. I will also consider making a 2 inch drop later after I get my wheels and want my rims/wheels to fit without any rubbing.

you can get away with natural camber, easily.

i'd recommend starting with 245/35-19 first, and if you still have ample room, then go with 255/35-19.

copy the f-sport 19" wheel specs (widths + offsets).

225/35-19 + 255/35-19 is also par for +2 sizing.

the 2is uses 5x114.3 bolt pattern. that limits your options.

check w/ Mike@Vossen for your tire size specs.

You will need a pull if you want it too look good and be able to lower it. Here is mine running 18x9.5 +22 and 18X10.5 +22. I am rolled and a good pull all around. I still rub in the rear and On the front bumper tabs. I haven't gotten around to relocating them. I can solve the rear rubbing by running a 245 or running more - camber. IMO you will deff. want to pull the fenders but it can probably be done with just camber.

+1 on what tp350 said.

so to add/summarize:

225/40-18 + 245-40-18. pull in the front, same for the rear - but not as much. relocate fender tabs.

no exceptions.
