Question Fitment question.....and yes I did search.

Picking up a set of Vossen 085's but not sure if they'll rub on my IS350. Would I need to get slimmer tires for the fronts. I looked up offsets and from what I could find +38/+50 would fit on the rears. Any help would be aprreciated!!! Thanks guys!!!

Fronts 20x9 +38
245/35/20
Rears 20x10.5 +40
275/30/20

Wow I was unaware that you had cognative powers. Thank you computer guru. I just asked for some assistance. Since you looked into your crystal ball and saw me not doing a search could you check again and see if the fronts will rub. Thanks brother!

Yes they will rub, Im just saying that you need to post this in the right section. You need to run a 30 series tire to not rub. Next time search a little longer

def didnt search

go with 20x9 38mm offset and 20x10.5 45mm offset.

You're DEF not fitting 245/35's in the front, more like 235/30/20. The 275's might be ok in the rear, but i went with 265/30's to be safe and I have no rubbing issues

^^^^+1 275 will be ok if you roll the fenders but like he and I said, the 35 will rub up front

OR... you could go with way smaller tires then go way more aggressive offsets and slam it

Ok guys the rims are used from another member. So it is what it is.
Secondly the purpose of this forum is to let inexperienced guys like me to as the "experts" a question/advice. So instead if coming back with "didn't search" help a brother out. With some intel. Oh and I may not be computer savy but I can field strip my crew-served blindfolded and upside down. We all have our talents.... Just saying!!! But thanks for the help guys.

So the rears should work out. But need 235/30-20's up front. Awesome! Thanks again

your going to rub with 40mm rears if you use 275/30/20's, unless you roll/grind the fenders. And yes, 235/30/20 will be fine but might rub the wheel wells a tiny bit when turning on deceleration (ie: turning into a driveway)
