What Size Wheels Should I Get For My IS250
Hey guys, i just bought a 06 IS250 and i was wondering what would be the best way to go with wheel size
i was thinking of goin with 19x8.5 +30 front and 19x9.5 + 25 rear with a 2" drop. . I was wondering if i will need to do something so they wont hit my fenders? Would they hit by the way

Welcome to CL as a brand-new poster.
I usually don't recommend going this route. Keep in mind, before you do a height-drop, that you may not only have the fender-rub problems you are concerned about, but that the 19" low-profile tires and shorter suspension/shock-travel will also stiffen up the ride quite a bit from its already-firm factory-level. Depending on the outside rolling-diameter of the new tires, it could also affect speedometer/odometer readings.
Normally, it could also void at least part of the factory-warranty, but your car is old enough that the non-powertrain components (and maybe the powertrain too, with its 6/70 warranty) are no longer covered.
