hey guys what would be a good tire size if i plan to run 18x8.5 all around as I have an AWD, dont plan to go stagger route with a +35 offset and a mild drop maybe 1finger gap without any fender mods???



also would going 18x9 all around be possible or would it be too wide for the front??

thanks a bunch!!

I've got an 07 IS250 Xpack. Right now running the x stock rims. I'm wanting to fill out the fender wells, but not go huge. Either 18's, or maybe 19's, but no larger. DD with really crappy roads. Should I go with a wider rim? or just change up the offset? Thanks guys!

thanks acefalcon but thats what i am asking... i was wondering which tire sizes would suffice and if a +35 offset all around is good for a 18x8.5 and if a different offset is needed if i go 18x9

8.5+35 all around or 9 +35 all around would work well with 225/40-255/40, depends how low you wanna go. or no drop at all.

18x9 +37 on Potenza G3's (255/35/18) around 70% tread left
18x8 +29 on Potenza G3's (235/40/18) around 70% tread left

dont worry about the tyres
will the wheels be flush?
and will they clear the IS350 brakes?

you'll actually only need 5mm... i have a 10mm spacer and have a good 8mm space between the calipers and the closest part of the spokes
