9.5 is too wide for the front. Itll fit in the rear but the fronts would have to be rolled. Not to mention 235s will be really stretched onto a 9.5 inch rim. Which I mean to each their own but I'd avoid it.

Yes, you can run staggered tires on same size of wheels with no ill effects.
225/40/18 255/35/18
235/40/18 265/35/18
Even 225/45/18 255/40/18 will work fine

This little tool will help you decide what size of tires you want.

Hey guys I’m looking for wheel setup and tyre size recommendations for a flush setup, preferably without fender work.

Will be getting it lowered on BC racing coilovers or might keep stock ride height depending on how the wheels will look on the car.

This is what I’m planning to do, but I’m open to suggestions and recommendations. Thanks!

F: 18x8.5 + 38
R: 18x9.5 + 38

Heres what my ride is looking like atm

Hi guys, I'm planning to buy a new set of wheels for my 2008 lexus is350 from Circuit Performance, model CP25;
Front: 18 x 8.5; et 18 on tire 225/40/18
Rear: 18 x 10.5; et 22 on tire 255/40/18
I bought the car used, it was lowered using Tein coilovers.

So my questions are:
1. Has anyone used this wheel brand? are they good? I can't find any review for this brand anywhere.
2. Will the above set up fit my car without any rub or require modification in case the car was lowered?

Thanks

So I purchased four ESR SR05 18x9.5 +35. The wheels don’t clear the front brake calipers on the 08 IS350. I will be selling the wheels & keeping my 245/40 tires.

What wheel specs should I run that’s close to flush & will 100% fit on the car without spacers or a camber kit?

I don’t want to go through this again haha.

245s will likely still rub. But for wheel size just go down an inch in width. Offset and diameter are fine. So 18 × 8.5 +35

Thatll look like this

Hi I'm looking at getting some wheels for my 350

Front
Diameter: 19
Width: 8.5
Offset: 35

Back
Diameter: 19
Width: 9.5
Offset: 38

Will these fit on stock suspension, also a tire size recommendations if possible
Also also this will be my first time buying tires for this car is anyone has any tire brand/type recommendations?
Thanks!

eric08

Yeah that'll work fine. If you dont want to rub you can run 225/35r19 in front and 255/35r19 in the rear. But you can go up a tiny bit if you prefer to. As for tires. Obviously Michelin with their pss and ps, Select Bridgestone (really research models with Bridgestone cause some are just awful and others are really good), the new Goodyear Eagles are appearing great. Lots of other great options.

I want to get some new wheels for my is350. I am thinking about getting ESR RF2. Currently my car is on stock suspension but thatll change to coilovers soon.
Would 18x8.5 +30 fit the fronts and 18x9.5 +35 fit the rears without modification to the fenders? I only want to drop my car like 1" maybe 1.5".
Also, my front tires that are 225/40/18 that are on my stock 18s are basically brand new. They have less 1000 miles. Would I be able to fit those on a 8.5 wide wheel? Although my 255/40/18 rears are getting worn out, would I be able to use them on a 9.5 wide wheel?
That'll be great on the expense if I could reuse those tires for their remaining life instead of having to buy new ones before using the new wheels. I am afraid of stretching them and having the wheel poke out of the tires and run the risk of scratching them.

I just ordered Koni shocks & Eibach Pro Kit for my IS250 rwd, and wonder if there would be any fitment issues with my current wheel set up:

Enkei TMS wheels
-Front: 18x8 +35 (tire:225/40/18)
-Rear: 18x8.5 +38 (tire: 255/40/18)

Eibach pro kit lowers the car about 1.4 inch (front) and 1 inch (rear).

I do not think there will be any rubbing once the car is lowered with eibach springs as my wheel set up is pretty close to stock. Any feedback? Thanks!

Hello, I have spent the better part of my day looking to get some new wheels that wont break the bank but I want to get as close as the 2015+ F sport 18" wheels without actually paying 2k for them. https://www.fitmentindustries.com/bu...S250&trim=Base I found these on fitment industries and I was wondering if I got these for my AWD 2008 IS 250, will the front sit flush with the fender? I think the back might be a little too pushed in but please let me know! They are 18x8 with a 35mm offset and a 5.88 backspacing. I don't really know what back spacing is but I just want a flush fit with no rubbing issues etc. I am on stock suspension thank you guys !

Hey there, have you put on the 18x9.5 +38 square setup? i had ordered a set of wedsport sa15r in the exact spec, just wondering if you had any issues especially with the fronts

winter

My car is all stock.
I am sure the rear will fit but want to make sure the front is ok. If anyone has these wheels would love to see pics also.
Just talked to discount tire and they said 245/40/18 are recommended. Maybe I should just go with that?

What's the largest wheel spacer I can put on the rear without having to change the stock studs? 10 mm?
