Default 07 IS250 20" RIMS and tires

My aunt got some 20" Velocity VW910 (20x7.5) rims for my IS250

Now am in the need for tires but unsure of which are the best ones to fit. I do not want a low profile (if I can avoid them with 20") since I dont want to feel the road that much.

I will like to have wide (not too exaggerated) for the rear tires. What series or tires do you recommend for front and rear tires?

You're probably gunna have to go for a xx/30/20 rim... 35 will rub for sure and you should be looking up how to relocate front bumper metal tab otherwise it'll shred your tires.... I would also hold off on lowering your car until you see them on your car first - otherwise you may have to roll rear fenders if they dont clear.

I was the lowest on 20's on this forum. You have to go low profile in order got the tire to fit into the wheel well. I ran 225/30/20 in front and 255/30/20 in rear. I did roll my front fenders and relocate my bumper tab and roll the rear quarter panels also. If and when you lower many of us recommend coilovers (BC Racing, Megan, etc). The reason for this is that you as the owner have full adjustability of the ride height and shock dampening. They cost more than just lowering springs but intimately they work better as a package. Good luck.
