just curious, anyone try this setting with 18" wheel in the front but 19" wheel on the rear?? reason is i think 18" wheel can provide better handling in the front amd 19" wheel can provide better grip in the rear for IS350. advantage or disadvantage?

18's in front would give more comfort because of more sidewall, not unless your gonna stretch the tire.. what are you hoping to achieve?

i like 18 in the front for more side wall then 19 but 18 in the rear will be too much side wall for 255 tire than 19. try to find a balance for good looking, handling, and comfort as well.

The 18's will probably do better on the rear too, unless you mean having a wider tire on the rear with the 19's? then I guess on how much wider these tires are. All this is assuming you have the same brand/model tires on both rims. Lets see what ppl say

i am thinkin goin 265 or even 275 on the rear and with 235 on the front. always good to hear more from our fellow IS owner. thanks u guys!

I was thinking of getting two 18 f-sport rims in the front and the 19 in the back. I think its gonna be an advantage. Staggered cant be that bad especially if you have the same tires all around.

VIP > JDM had 18x8+38 and 19x10+38 on his 2is and it looked sick

but on our cars its more for look. you could just do 18x8.5 and 18.10 and get better handling with a 275 on the back and run a lower psi in the rear for better traction
