Thanks for earlier responses. I have now found a set of wheels and need an update on the fitment.
Completely stock IS250 wants to run 19" Stance SC5 (http://www.getyourwheels.com/view-wh...l/vehicle-2531)
19x8.5 Front 5x114.3 Offset 35
19x9.5 Rear 5x114.3 Offset 35
Doing some searches on the net indicates that the wheels should fit. True?
Do not want any rubbing at all. I am not interested in rolling any fenders whatsoever. I do alot of u-turns and really want a set of wheels that fits well.
So question now is what set of tires will I need? I want to run Continental ContiSportContact 5P
And they are available in the following size as can be viewed in the picture below:
Also how much do you think should be possible to drop the car with those wheels fitted without any mods?

I have 19X8.5 +35 front 19X9.5+36 rear (almost similar to your setup)
I run 235/35/19 front 255/35/19 rear
Dropped around 1 inch on spring.
Front rub very very very slightly. Heat gun and pushed the front liner in just a few millimeters and the rubbing is all gone no matter how hard I drive or turn the car.
If you don't want to heat gun, then you should go 225/35/19 on the front. Should clear without any modification. I didn't choose 225 on the front because with 8.5" width, the ideal tire should be 235/35/19. Also 225/35/19 is too skinny sidewall to me.
On the rear you can choose either 255/35/19 or 265/30/19. Dilemma is, with 265/30/19 it is the right fitment for the 9.5" wheel but the overall diameter will be 3% less than stock. While 255/35/19 is the closest to factory 18" wheel spec 255/40/18 (0.3% difference or something I couldn't remember exactly) but the sidewall will be a little stretched. At the end I decided to go with 255/35/19 to retain factory spec. 265/35/19 is too tall and it will rub the fender with your wheel spec.
Hope you can formulate your spec.

So here's the dilemma:
We have almost everything ready except for tire sizes. Wheels going on the car are LC818's 19x8.5 +30 and 19x10 +38. My suspension's being switched out to BC coils.
The goal is the lower the car to exactly 25" from floor to fender. Being it's AWD, I can't go any lower without risking my front CV boots tearing.
Thus I'm debating between two tire sizes:
235/35/19 and 275/30/19
or
225/35/19 and 265/30/19
How much of a finger gap will I have with these two tire specs? I want to have as close to 0 zero finger gap as possible. Also, would there be any rubbing besides the front wheel liner? We have a heat gun ready for the liner.
Thanks!
Edit: Tires will most likely be either Ventus V12's or Conti DW's.

This isnt really a wheel fitment issue, but I have a suspension question. I current have 18x8.5 +30 rims and 225/40 F and 255/40 R tires. Im planning on getting Megan EZ coils and want to be dropped to between 0-1 finger gap. My question is will I be rubbing if I go this low? Would I need any fender mods? And lastly will this be too low that I would need to get a rear camber kit?

Want to know if your wheels will fit? Will it rub? What's the best offset? What sizes and widths should I buy? Start here.
This thread is the result of merging over 100 threads on the same topic - will these wheels fit on my IS? Feel free to ask any questions you may have on whether your specific wheels will fit on the 2IS, but please search this thread first - as you can see, there's plenty of information here already.
EDIT: For those of you searching or IS250 AWD fitment information, this thread should yield some great information.

and instead of getting a camber kit to correct uneven tire wear, get a spot-on alignment with toe @ dead even ZERO.

and you'll want to go w/ 225/35-19 + 255/35-19.
