Default Rims size

What is the best fit rims size for my 2012 Lexus IS 350 I want to go 19x9.5 in the rear and 19x8.5 in the front, I was told I would need spacers because of the big calipers and that I would need to roll my fenders and stretch out my wheels? I don't like that camber look!! I just want a clean flush look! Pls help what will work tire size? Off set? And width? What a good tie size to? 19 ? 40? 45? 245? I don't know what I need! need help

Tons of members run these sizes without any modifications to their fenders. You may need to do a little work on the fender liners but nothing crazy. Look at the wheel thread sticky at the top of the page and also browse the “ will these wheels fit” thread and you will find all your answers. 35-38 offsets are pretty conservative and will sit pretty flush.

Those tire sizes as mentioned are very common and you shouldn't need any modification depending on how low your car is (if lowered at all)

I run a 35 offset front wheel with a 45 offset rear and the front is flush and the rear is just slightly tucked - but doesn't rub when i hit dips
