Question +30 offset

Hi, Guys I don't post much but, I have a question will a +30mm rim fit in the front?? Here's the what i'm looking at 18x8.5 +30mm for the fronts and 18x9.5 +35mm in the rear I also plan on lowering the car will Tein S lowering springs. Will these fit the stock tires 225/40/18 front and 255/40/18 rear?? Oh it's a 2008 IS250 M/T

might be a perfect fit and may experience very slight rubbing up front depending on tire brand but it should be a great balance of aggressiveness and conservative.
yes those will fit the stock tires, giving a slight stretch which will help clear the fenders.

keep in mind not all tire sizing runs true. 225/40 bridgestone may have a different sidewall height than say a 225/40 Michelin.
the different may by in millimeters but that might be all you need to stop rubbing!

I am running the below with just my fenders rolled and dropped 1-1.5 inch in the summer. The setup you have should fit.

FR: 19x8.5 +28 on 235/35/19
RR: 19x9.5 +35 on 255/35/19

Thanks !!! I really thought I had to do some serious fender modification. Since so many people are running different offsets besides the OEM offset, I was a little concerned.

I'm on 19x8.5 +30 225/35 and 19x 9.5 +35 255/35 and no rub, about 1 finger gap from tire to fenders drop wheels tuck just the slightest bit but looks very "BMW" OEM flush

Thanks a bunch BMW OEM flush is fine I was not looking forward to rolling my fenders. I might just go down from 40 series to 35 is fine with me I plan on auto crossing my car so I just wanted to make sure I did not waste money on these light weight wheels.
