Question 19x9.5 wheels need help!!!

I’m looking to put some wheels on my 06 is250 awd. I was running 18x9 on stock suspension but I was wondering if I would run into any complications if I put 19x9.5 wheels on. Also looking to install bc coilovers as well. I understand I might have to roll my fenders but was curious to see which tire setup and amount of drop would prevent me from doing the least amount of extra modifying if possible. Thank you in advance (:

What’s the lowest offset you would recommend?

9.5 in the front is a bit too much and will be rub on the hard turn event with high offset

I have 19x9.5 up front and 19x10.5 on rear with bc coil overs. Yes you will have to roll the fenders and depending on how meaty the tires are you will definitely rub on the front. I had to reduce the bumper tabs and instill rub here and there. But that is the price you pay when you are lowered so it is to be expected.

he is also AWD so keep that in mind. I agree that 9.5 is wide for the front no matter what offset. you can run it but will have to compensate for tire sizing (smaller), where ride height comes into play as well.

I am about to purchase some shoe's this weekend or the next. I wanted to go 20's as I have been accustomed to the look. Would I run into any issue's with 9.5's in the front and 10.5's in the back w/stock suspension? I don't plan on lowering her as she will be becoming my daily while i'll be purchasing a 3is by this time next year.
