Sorry projectdna~ I forgot to mention works brombacher wheel offers 5 x 114.3 now. I contacted Workwheel USA and confirmed the chart I linked has same offset as 5 x 114.3 bolt pattern.
Please help me out projectdna~ Also should I get 225/35/19 and 245/35/19 tire size? Thanks alot

since you have to run a 10mm spacer to clear the is350 front brake calipers, you'll be better off with lower offset-spec'd wheels in the front.

2nd choice:
F: 19 x 9 + 34 with 60mm lip size or +21with 72mm lip size (L disk)
R: 19 x 10 + 21 with 85mm lip size or +8 with 98mm lip size (L disk)
given these options, i'd run 19x9 +34 and 19x10 +21. you can run even narrower sizes without the need to stretch the heck out of a tire to get the proper clearance. you might not have the maximum lip size, but you can safely run narrower sized tires, and you shouldn't need any more fender work.

Do Konig Hotswap wheels fit on a rwd IS250, 2009, with the 18" wheel option?

http://www.tiredealersites.com/konig...ails&wid=12098

I'm in love with these, Konig's website seems to list them when I search for everything and input all my vehicle info, ammy doesn't think they will fit... tried searching the forums, didn't find any information on these...

seems they almost don't fit, but they did pop up under their search for my vehicle...

they're narrower than oem 18's, with about the same offset.

just because they should bolt up and might clear the brake calipers doesn't mean you should consider them.

Hey,

I am wondering if these will fit? I am pretty new to the whole offset business and I am wondering what kind of fender modifications will I need? This would be on my daily driver.

I am trying to get the VMR V710 rims here : http://www.velocitymotoring.com/wheels_v710.html

F: 19x8.5 +35
R: 19x9.5 +22

I understand that I will need to get hubcentric rings to fit the 73.1 to our 60.1.

Does anyone know any other rims that look like these, since it sounds like the IS requires higher offsets?

depending on your ride height and tire sizes, you may or may not need fender modifications.

typically on lowered 2is's, you should be able to get away w/ no fender mods in the front, but you will need fender mods in the rear (rolled fenders). also consider shaving the fender tabs.

did this come off an IS-F? typically IS-F's run 40-series up front w/ oem treadwidths. 2is's run 35-series based on oem treadwidths.

try 265/30-19 in the rear.

yes they did, bought them off another cl member, the tread on the fronts is still 50% with the yokohama advan sport, the rears came with 265 35 19 but low on tread. I've never bought rims before so im a noob at this stuff

225/35-19 + 255/35-19.

i recommended 265/30-19, but i can't guarantee that you won't need rolled fenders in the rear.

I will have the rears rolled just to be on the safe side! with 255 35 no stretch ? last question 265 30, since the sidewalls will be thinner will the ride be harsher then the 255 35 ?

255/35-19 on a 10"-wide wheel is safe.

change in ride quality between 255/35-19 and 265/30-19 won't be noticeable.

Default 19 x 9.5 +12 Front / 19 x 11 +15 Rear

So my IS250 has been bone stock since I have had it (2008). It's time to give her a makeover. I found some used Varrstoen 1.1.2 rims with the following size. Do you think I will have a problem running the rear specs? I plan to get BCR coilovers and perform fender mods.

Front 19 x 9.5 +12 offset
rear 19 x 11 +15 offset

any insight would be helpful.

Thanks!
