should be fine, but i'd try 225/35-19 in the front.

you'll need a serious roll + pull for those widths and offsets, not to mention the tire stretching needed to prevent tire-fender clearance issues.

not recommended.

I have done a lot of searches and haven't found a definitive answer yet. Any help is appreciated.

I have a 2011 IS350 AWD and I just put on Avant Garde wheels. They are 19x8.5 +35 all around with Hankook V12's in 235/35/19 all around. No rubbing right now that I can tell, but it gets super close in the front when turning.

I want to put on F Sport springs, but I'm worried there will be rubbing and I don't really want to deal with any mods to fix any rubbing. I don't even want to do the heat gun mod if possible. The place in the wheel well where it gets really close when turning looks like it would free up some space a bit when lowering about an inch, but I'm not sure.

Anybody have this exact setup and if so, is there any rubbing?

Thanks!

i'm not sure what you're asking.

but everything that's bolded in your post will work fine.

i would've suggested that you go with 225/35-19, but seeing as to how you have an IS350 AWD (the stranger, not-as-popular cousing to the RWD variant) you should definitely get as much treadwidth as you can for it.

having said that, have you considered 245/30-19?

Yosbd117

I didn't want to go with a 225 because I don't like the stretched look. Since I just bought a 235/35, I'm not going to buy something different now. I'm primarily curious about rubbing issues after an F Sport spring drop with my setup.

225 on 8.5" doesn't have a "stretched" look, but that's a moot point.

here's the thing; you're running a tire size (235/35-19) that's over 3/8" taller than them oem size (225/40-18). if you're going to be running taller tires, you're bound to have rubbing issues with the tire and the fender liner.

since getting different-sized tires is not an option, you either heatgun the liner or let the tire rub a hole in the fender liner.

your choice.

You are right, it wouldn't be as stretched as a lot of setups on here, but i decided it is still more than I would like. Just letting you know my basis for my tire size decision.

I might be ok to heat gun the liner, I just don't want to have to do more than that. Is that as bad as it would get? Are you speaking from personal experience? I really appreciate your feedback, it's just really hard to get straight answers on here because there are so many posts and so many opinions.

you won't need to do more than that. your wheel specs are fine for the fender mod-adverse, while your tire specs are... well, just that.

F: 19 x 9.5 +24, R: 19 x 10.5 +23 with 225/35/19, 255/35/19.


Will it fit with fender rolling?


Thanks,

235/40-18 in the rear will give you more clearance. you might be able to run 245/40-18 in the rear.

you'll also need to shave the fender tabs (front and rear).

245/35-19 is a better fit in the rear than 255/35-19.
