I've been wanting to get 19" rims on my awd but dont want to lower it because of the problems i hear with vibrations. Do you think 19's with no drop will look stupid. Should I just get 18's? anyone have pictures of this setup?

The gap will look weird. But to each their own, some don't care about lowering their cars.

19's with low profile tires and a 5 finger gap will look BAD! Sorry to say

just lower it, the vibrations aren't that bad at least not on my car or maybe i just got use to it I think the 4x4 look is hideous

You will definitely be monster trucking. Just do a casual drop. I dropped mine only 1.25

Car will look sexier if dropped

depends on your taste. some might say it looks stupid some likes wheel gaps. it's your car, you decide how your car wants to look!

Lol I have the same dilemma. I want a set of 19" weds and dont want to lower my car. But i also dont want to look like im monster truckin lol. What does a set of decent coil overs cost anyways?

If it's a AWD, it will have the 4x4 look. Then one may consider dropping but possibly may run into issues for it by affecting the drive train.

Now if one had RWD, that would not be much of an issue.

^^^ Megan EZ can go from 600 to 800 depending if they are used or new...
to OP, just do what you want bro... it is your car and quality over looks ;-)

I have a is350 RWD, what is the exact ride hight difference between that and the is250 AWD?

I'm not sure but the ride height differences are however the front has a smaller wheel gap compared to the AWD besides the staggered tires and aggressive stance.

I looked at the Lexus Canada website since it lists ground clearances but I'm not sure where their point of references are.

120 mm - 250 AWD
120 mm - 350 AWD

135 mm - 250 RWD
125 mm - 350 RWD

Hmm Im not sure if the ground clearance or ride height is even relevant then. I did a quick search and cant find anything that compares the 2 wheel gaps. Just by looking at pics it looks like the RWD is just a little less than the AWD, maybe by 1/4"?

Lowering is function and form!
