but in the event you do have clearance issues...

raise your 2is up w/ the wheels and tires, and then incrementally go lower until you are satisfied w/ your ride height and/or can diagnose what's rubbing.
Thank for fast respon !!! If I do have some clearance issue after install. Would it be the front or back ? Do you know.... I am totally new with the offset thing. No knowledge sorry

depending on how low you go.. your problems will be in the back. it'll be close, but the front is fine. it's just the rear that'll be a close call. you might need a slight fender roll.

yes, and yes.

oem 18's come 18x8 +45 and 18x8.5 +50. the fronts won't look any different, but the rears will be sunken in.

but as long as the wheels clear the brake calipers, the tires should mount up, but aesthetically speaking it won't look great.

depends on your ride height.

but for the most part, you're going to need modified fenders.

LoL I am getting the same wheel as you buddy.. did you order your yet ? just place my order with NL motoring. What color are you planing on ordering ?

I was hoping to use my stock tire too. ProjectDNA, you think is possible to used the stock tire setup ( 225/40/18 font and 255/40/18 ) with my current fender mod already would be better so i could save money on tire ? or is it better to go with 225/35/18 and 255/35/18 ? would there be any different..

thank in advance

save the money, stick with the factory 40-series. i wouldn't go w/ the 35-series only because it will mess w/ your speedo, odo(meter), and possibly your traction control.

tbh, the rears will be a close fit w/ 255/40-18. you may need to raise your ride height, if your fender mods aren't spot-on (fenders rolled flat).

but if you're looking to replace tires, try 245/40-18 vs. 255/35-18. the former has a rolling diameter closer to 255/40-18 than the latter.

Thank for all your help ProjectDNA I am probably going to check my fender mod see if all 4 corner are flat enough to go with 255/18. But most likely i would get 245 to be on the safe side. plus need new tires soon anyways

I have a set of SSR Koenig (17x17.5 +28 offset) sitting around at home and was wondering if its ok to install them onto my IS250 AWD. Currently it's running OEM 17" rims and planning to drop it with some Teins. There is one issue tho, the after-market rim's bolts pattern are 120.65 so I'm gonna need a adapter to convert it to 114.3. The adapter is gonna be 1" thick so I'm wondering if its gonna rub? Please help, I know nothing about wheels and set ups!

you mean 17x7.5 +28, right?

if so, you'll definitely rub w/ the adapters.

Does anyone know if 18" Tenzo-R Type M (18x8.0 +45) will fit on my IS250 RWD 2009?
It has 225/40/18 wheels both front and back.
I know I'm supposed to get 245/40/18 for rear wheels, but I'm thinking of sticking with 225 for now.

Any insight that this will fit?

Yes. Those are nearly the same size and offset as stock wheels.

I am looking to get some XXR's that are 18 x 8.5 +25 all around. I am currently at stock height, however; I am planning to get the F-Sport springs and shocks/struts. Will I be rubbing and need fender work?

Has anyone tried these on an IS350?
I emailed them to ask if it clears the calipers and they said yes on IS250 but haven't tested on an IS350.
