I am rubbing with my current setup with stock suspension 174k miles on the front shocks and about 70k miles on the rears (rears replaced around 86k miles at the dealership):

235/35/19 +35 F
265/35/19 +35 R

The front I am slightly rubbing on full lock turns. Need to hit the liner with a heat gun. The rears rub on big dips. I see the marks on the side walls of the rears from rubbing. Is this normal or are my rears shocks bad? I have already ordered my fender roller and I am going to roll my rear fenders soon.

My setup and NO rubbing.

235/35/19 +42 F (I recon 245/35 would fit)
265/30/19 +30 R

Lowered 1.1" F and 1.0" R. On big dips I hit rear but NO marks on tyres (very livable).

What are your wheel specs, 19x??. With your tire specs with 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5 +35 wheels (or smaller width), you should not be rubbing at all at OEM ride height, nor need to roll the fenders.

19x8.5 Front +35
19X9.5 Rear +35

I am rubbing slightly, not a big deal but didn't think I would with stock suspension.

It's not the fender he's rubbing it's the inner well at full lock and only very slightly.

Planning to get the following specs.
19x8.5 F +38 Tire 235/35
19x9.5 R +38 Tire 265/30 or 35
I know these specs will fit but wondering if I will be pretty flush or not? Not trying to poke or be hellaflush. Let me know!

Mild drop 1" all around.

Will I have the same issue as XSV with slight rubbing in the well?

You'll be pretty flush. I have +35 all around with the same specs and I'm flush. As for rubbing, it's not a big deal. the front only rubs the plastic liner on full lock turns and the rear rubs on big dips if I'm going 45+ mph.

Thanks XSV. I'll probably go 265/30 for the rear since I'm lowered. Trying to avoid fender rolling but if needed I will.

Guy i was wondering if these wheels will fit on my 08 IS250 awd. Just need some wheel to get by for a few months.

18 x 7.5 5 x 114.3 bolt pattern (5 x 4.5)
Hub Bore 67.1
Offset 49.5
Thanks for your help in advance and sorry for posting here buy its looks like AWD thread is dead.

ldc

The offset 49.5 will hit the suspension arm (99% sure). You might need 3-5mm spacers to clear (safer with 5mm). You then need hub rings (60.1 to 67.1).

I know I said I was planning on getting 19's but now I'm considering 18's because I can't find the exact wheel design that I really like.
Will the following fit with no issues on Fpsort springs?
18x9 +30
18x10 +25
Tire size recommendations?

You might be poking a little in the rear.

May require a tiny bit of modification due to the negative offset but I'm not 100% certain, itll definitely be close. As for tire size Id do at least a 235/40 in the front just because 225 on a 9 inch rim isn't ideal, you may be able to fit a 245 as I've heard some people have done it without issue. As for the rear at least a 255.

ldc

@deestyle28, i'd go with 235/40 and 265/35. Your rear will be outside the fender abit and you will rub if you go lower than Fsports.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Is it bad to run a square setup on a RWD? (I'm new to the wheel/offset game) I was thinking to be safe and run 18x9 +30 all around since the rear might hit the fender/rub and I don't want to stretch tires for a 18x10 +25. Or will rolling my rear fenders fix this problem? Don't want to pull or shave.

@Idc if I go with 265/35 for the 18x10 +25 for the rear and I'm on Fsport springs (1inch drop) will the 35 series increase my wheel gap? Fsport drop has enough gap as is lol.
