350ISRYDER

I am planning to push out my rear only on my future set up of rims. I need to push it out because my rear will be 18x8 only and not staggered, I am going to try get a bigger tire, but we'll see. But my question is, will I have rubbing issues if I push out the rear with Ichiba II 15mm if my rim is 18x8 and offset is +45 and lets say I run either the 255 40 or 265 35/40? Don't know what set up would look good on an IS 350...btw I am lowered full slam on Tanabe Sustec 5's! Anyone know the answer to this one?!

ChrISF

should be fine with a 255/40. if it does rub (which in not 100% sure it wont) you got 3 options so it wont rub if you want to keep the same ride height.

1- smaller tire
2- trade in the 15mm for a 10mm
3- roll your fenders.

or if none of those sound appealing...then just raise your ride height.

Thanks for the reply...
1- I won't go smaller cuz that might affect Traction Control
2- This might be the answer, but I should measure really well first b4 ordering
3- Negative on the rolling..

the last one is the worst appealing...I would never come higher, "riding low is the only way 2 roll"!!! HAHAHA!

Thanks though...Anyone know how hard it is to change out the stock studs with the Ichiba studs and is anyone rolling on KIC Spacers? Are there any other brands that are comparable?

ChrISF

try to find spacers with built in studs...its just less of a hassle.

ride dirty.

Ok, so I've been doing a little bit of research on some different possible wheel/tire/suspension set ups. The wheels I'm possibly considering are 19x8.5's with a +38 up front and a 19x10 with a +43 in the back. I'm thinking of running 245/35's up front and 275/30's in the back and am dropped on H&R springs. I know javyLSU is running a very similar set up (same drop) with 19x8.5's +38 with 245/35's, but my question is with the rears. He's running a 19x9.5 with a +35 offset wrapped with 265/35's. You guys think there would be rubbing issues with a 19x10, +43 offset with 275/30's instead? It's .5" wider, but 8mm closer to the strut. But the tire is wider, but shorter sidewall. I'm confused. Any wheel/tire gurus out there got any input they can give. I'd hate to spend the money on tires and they don't fit. I'm pretty sure if I went with a 265/30 it wouldn't be too much of an issue, and it seems like a 265/35 is a hard size to find. Ideas?

And here's a pic of javyLSU's ride for reference. See how it fit's perfectly and fills out the front and rear gaps evenly. Will the 275/30's on a 10" wheel with a little higher offset do the same? And maybe more importantly, will it rub? Nice job javy!

You'll be fine with the set up you've specified. You'll definitely have to use the heat gun to push back front inner wheel well. Go with 235/35 tire size in the front.

19x8.5 F and 19x9.5 R is the usual and 35-40 is a good offset without rolling fenders if you want to know more ----> https://www.clublexus.com/forums/search.php

MEX2IS

I dis try searching.. No help.. Im thinking low 30 offsets?

Look at the 2IS FAQ above the thread you made...anyways you might rub unless you roll you fenders and it also depend on your tires. You can find any info you need on our car in the 2IS FAQ if the search doesn't work...
