What kind of tires should I be running with 19x8.5 and 19x10? I'm lowered/rolled/shaved...

I'm planning on getting my fenders rolled but is a pull necessary? The wheel shop told me I should really get a fender pull which I feel a little hesitant with. Or can I get away with some camber.
Also how would 255/30/20 for tires work out for the rear?
your fenders will have a very light pull from rolling. any pulling beyond that shouldn't be necessary.

255/30-20 should be fine in the rear with rolled fenders.

I know I am gonna need a fender roll and maybe a pull. Just want to see what my options are. I would have lowered it today but I heard all the scraping. And I am sure you can't return tires so I am stuck with them. I know you gonna hear a little scraping but I don't want to damage the tire or anything I am hoping it just fender lining under there and not a sharp edge of sheet metal
yes on the fender roll, no on the pull.

and you can tell the difference between when the tire rubs against the fender versus the fender liner. also, a visual inspection can reveal tell-tale signs of what the tire is rubbing against and where the damage is being done.

it would depend on what kind of offsets we're talking about.

I think I'm buying some 18x9.5 + 35 wheels for my 06 IS 250. All the way around. Will I have issues in the front. I'm sure the back will be fine but the front might pose a prob. Anyone know if 9.5 and or the + 35 will rub on fenders. I'm.stock suspension. Btw

I found one of my answers in this thread. in which you need to roll front and real fenders to fit
19x9.5 +24 and 19x10.5+24 but would this require a pull as well for both front&rear? don't plan on tucking if that would make the difference.

Also would this wheel spec fit over stock brake calipers?

most likely.

also, it'll look awkward at stock height.

yes, even if you don't plan on tucking.

brake caliper clearance will depend on wheel construction and design. you will need to contact your wheel manufacturer to determine how much brake caliper clearance the wheels have.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you get away without pulling as long as you go low enough for natural camber to clear? Also rolling also give a slight pull to the fender too.

There is a ton of great information here! but does anyone know if the ISF has the same wheel clearance as the 2IS? (I'm talking tires not offsets)

Bottom line is I have a set of 20" wheels that I want to get thicker tires for, but I'm not sure if it'll clear. 245/35-20 on 9.5 wheel up front.

my main concern is clearing the suspension components and fender liner. I'm on Coils so things can be adjusted if it needs to be.

i think the IS-F does not have the same fender/wheel clearance as the ISx50.

^^^??

It's funny i spent a couple weeks researching on what wheel specs I personally thought would look best. which was 19x8.5+28 19x9.5+26 Then recently found out that they discontinued the wheel I want anyway. so know I found some for sale with the offsets i mentioned which I'm not to thrilled about, but I'm determined to get these wheels!

The only make or break is that I really don't want to pull if I don't have too. I've read that it never looks clean, and looks wavy up close.

with the bolded wheel specs, you will only need rolled fenders.

however, in the process of fender rolling, the fenders will be lightly "pulled". it's simply a by-product of the eastwood fender roller applying pressure onto the inside of the fender edge.

My wheels are coming in soon and I'm going to run it with stretched tires, my concern is since I am somewhat fairly low in the front, when I get up/down driveway angling, will there be a possibility that my rim will actually hit the pavement/driveway? Or should I try to angle it straight. This has always been a concern since my last setup, but I'm planning to run an even more aggressive setup.

I couldn't find an answer to that specific question so before I create a new thread I guess I'll give it a try here first.
