Im currently in a EVO 9 MR with over 15K in aftermarket mods. Im looking for a thread of all IS AWD rims because im just so lost about to jump from the evo game into the Lexus game. Im looking to buy a Lexus IS250 AWD 2007-2009 with under 20,000 miles.
I just really need to see a bunch of rim setups on the awd, i think id be lowering with F sport springs unless somone tells me otherwise, and there are maybe 2 is250 with navi in my area do you suggest just picking up one without it?

AWD & RWD is the same body style so either one you look at with rims it the same. So you dont have to just look at the AWD. You can look at any 250/350 with aftermarket rims. click here https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ead-index.html

i have always been thinking not to put staggered on AWD and i think i shouldnt do to any warranty issues and such. Im looking into rota Gforce 18x9 and the tires 2xx/35/18 do you think that setup will look good and have no rubbing issues lowered on f sport springs?

If your running high offset i think you should be aite. 235/35 is what your trying to run? As for stagger alot of member have done it and ran 20k plus withoug issues. I ran stagger and my dealer had no issues with it.

I've had 5 evos man, and I'm now in the IS350 lowered on F sport springs and shocks on 20's. I'm so glad to be away from mitsu. They're crap. Fast but just POS's. I bought my 05, 06 and 08 evo's brand new too. My evo 9 was making over 600whp on a dynojet as well. So I know where your coming from. The IS350 has enough power to get around comfortably with a little system and big wheels, its super reliable and very nice. I'd go with nothing smaller then 19's though. Well actually 20's but IDK what your opinion is. I get compliments on my car all the time though.

yea im definetly selling it and getting the IS250 due to the need of awd. So your saying staggered i can do i just gotta put the same size tires and such like if i get 19's front 19x8.5 and rear 19x9.5 i gotta just put the same tires like 245/35/19? i dont think id do 20"s due to rubbing and such. do you 19"s are a good size on f sport springs?

Hey Shrty,
I have 19x8 TSW's w/ 245/35r19 Goodyear GT's. Don't have a problem with the AWD. Hope these pics give you and idea. Needs lowered but still need to drive in the snow.

^Nice car but dislike the rims. Maybe because I don't like chrome?

IS250Rob

No prob. At least you can rule that out. It is hard picking wheels. Good luck.

For the 19s run 235 35 front and 265 30 rear you'll be good. IS250Rob if your new to the AWD IS we dont run 245 35 19 cause it threw off the rolling diameter by what allowed from factory. That a reason why if you look at the AWD thread no one is running 245 35 19 all around or on the staggered setup. But im just letting you know that all.

IS250Rob

What should I run? This is the first IS I have owned.

Your best bet is 225 35 or 235 35 19. If you click on this link here type in your stock tire size 225 45 17 and then your tires now 245 35 19 you see the warning that pops up say your off by 3% http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCal...?action=submit

Thanks! That would have been nice to know before I bought them. Only are 8 months old. Gonna have to look into buying new tires now. Should have done more research.
