That 275 looks so good on 9.5. It's how my 285 is going to look on my 10" once I get my rear camber adjusters.

Hi everyone I'm new to Lexus I have '15 Is350 F sport AWD
I have a set off 19" Volk Racing SF-Winnings that I had on my G35 sedan
I dont know if the tiers on them will fit.
8.5 + 38
9.5 +42
Tires are 245/45 all around
not on any lowering springs

@ARi85 The rims should fit just fine...the tires are a different story.
Overall the tires are just too big.

Got new shoes for the IS300 awd. Went with 18x8 +35 with 3mm spacers in front 18x9 +32 in the rear with factory tire sizes. Picked them up at Unleashed Wheels they were great in helping me out.

Not super flush, but not poking out. Now just want to get her lowered a bit.

What's the lowest offset I can go with on a 19x9.5 wheel in the rear lowered on super downs on my 2014 IS 350 F Sport RWD? I want to make it as flush as possible. I've been looking for a 19x10 wheel with an offset close to +42 but I can't find anything I like. There's a lot of wheels that come 19x9.5 though.

You should be good with a +38.

19x9.5 +40

Getting 19x10 +47 will be the same flushness. But there is no reason to add cost and weight.

Thank you, I think I've decided on Vossen HF-3 wheels in 19". With that being said I can get whatever fitment I want so what would you suggest in terms of width, offset and tire sizes being lowered on super down springs and rwd. I'm leaning more toward the 19x10 or whichever setup will look more concave but I'm open to everyone's opinions. Thank you guys so much for all your help.

I think it really comes down to your own preference really at this point.
You could got with 19x8.5 +32 with 235/35/19 on the front and 19x10 +45 with 265/30/19 on the rear.
That should give you a decent concave with no fitment issues.
In the rear you could also do a 19x9.5 +38 with the same 265/30/19.

With the Superdowns the factory struts are already going to take a beating, so keeping the unsprung weight low will help them live a little longer.
Rims and tires would be considered unsprung weight, so like TOPENDMS suggested, the slightly smaller 19x9.5 would be better.

If you don't need a lot of sidewall, then you can do 19x8.5 +30 225/35/19 and 19x10 +42 255/30/19.
Pretty much a this stage you're shifting things in terms of millimeters...so really how much difference will you notice...I don't know.

Is it possible to do 19x8.5 +30 with 235/35/19 on the front and 19x10 +42 with 265/30/19 on the rear?
