Well depends how flush you want. I mean if you want hellaflush like any of the other guys like calviin and chris250 or johnny boy, you need to be pushing offsets in the mid to lower 20s.

Do what isuxel said if you doing on 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 22-25 would be flushed or you can do 19x9 and 19x10 offset 27 front and rear which will be pretty flushed, someone correct me if im wrong

oh yea and to answer your question OP, it won't be flush, you'll need far more aggressive offsets for that.

I think it will look good. May not be as "FLUSH" as others like but you will likely need no fender modification.

one thing this thread has neglected is... tire size... i know how you mainland guys like the big tire NASCAR look, you CAN put +22-25 offsets on the 2IS but you'll need to run a vipstretch IF you dont want fender mods.

Default IS250awd rim size/tire question

would 18x8 +30mm with 225/40/18 tires fit an IS250awd with Is350 front BBK ?

the 18x8 seems okay, and the 225/40/18 all around seems to fit into the diameter okay seems Diameter Difference: 0.44% so thats good.

I'm just not sure about the offset with the IS350 front brake kit ?

any help would be great..

if I'm wrong about any of this please let me know.

thanks in advance.

^Agreed, those offsets are no where near being flush, however it'll look good if you go air runner and just DUMP it to the ground with it
