AWD IS2xx. Will I have a problem?
Hey i found someone selling these wheels and my gf has 2010 IS250 AWD. I was wondering if she'll run into any problems with this setup.

Yeah im sure she will. I was asking like since she has AWD, ppl said the wheels specs has to be same up front and rear. But some ppl say it's not a problem. Something about rolling diameter.

front is def going to rub, unless you put a retarded tire on it, then you're going to have to run an even crazier rear tire to match the rolling diameter. Probably like a 225/35/19 in the front and a 265/25/19 in the back.
Then she's gonna hit a pothole and blow out a tire.
Not worth it man. Just get a setup that's good for her. If she wants a serious look, have her get 20's

That's a retarded tire size?
Is it cause she has 19x9.5 up front and 19x10.5 rear?
I was planning to use this set up for 19x8.5 front and 19x10.5 rear..
didn't want to go with 275 cause its too huge, and I probably won't rub as much with 225 in the front. Is this okay or will I "hit a pothole and blow out a tire"?

Yeah it all about the tire. If 245-35 wasn't an issue alot more AWD member would be running that instead of stretching 235-35 in the rear. If I remember rite one member ran it and his vsc light kicked on later down the road. But give it a shoot. Even tire rack won't recommend that for the AWD
