I have 19x8.5 +32(235-35) and 19x10 +42(265-30) on my AWD and have never rubbed. I have downs instead of Superdowns. I might even try for 275-30

I am wanting to buy Niche Verona black wheels in this size:

18x8 40mm front
18x9.5 40mm rear

Right now, I have stock 17s, square set up, on the RWD 2014 is250. Would I have to change anything besides, obviously, needing new tires? Also, what size tires would you recommend?

Thanks in advance!

18X8 would use a 225/40/18 (that's the same size as the F Sport front rim)
18X9.5 would be a 265/35/18

You might consider a slightly wider wheel on the front...maybe an 18x8.5 if available.

They have these in sizes a little closer together https://jncwheels.com/products/jnc026-gloss-bronze
TSW and Verde also have a similar style.

Anyone know if a 20x9, +38 offset, 245/35/R20 all around will fit?

Thanks!

The rear you would fine...the front is a little bit of a question mark.
Depending on the rim design you may or may not clear the caliper if your IS is anything other than a 250.
Is there any option for the offset? For example, can you get a +32 or +35.
Is the car lowered, or do you plan on lowering it?

It is a Vossen CV7 so I think it will clear the caliper. Unfortunately there is no options for the offset because I found it on kijiji. The car is not lowered and I do not plan on lowering at this point.

Do you know what car they came off of?

Worst case if the front doesn't clear then a small spacer may be needed.

It is from a 2017 mustang. Sounds good. Thank for your help!

That explains why the tires are that much bigger.
A 245/30/20 tire would have been a better fit, but once you don't plan on lowering it...or only lowering it a tiny bit, then you should be ok.

You should be good...but considering the age and you're going with Superdowns, if funds are available, replace all the struts and install a set of SPC rear cambers arms.
That should give you a nice ride for awhile and take care of the rear alignment issues since you'll have tons of Camber in the back.
With the front it will have some adjustment for Camber because it's an AWD...so cross your fingers it's enough.

hm were already getting the one strut replaced in the rear because of an abnoxious clunking noise, it’s pretty much shot lol... it’s replacable under the extended warranty, should i have all of them replaced at once then?

If the dealer is willing to work with you through the extended warranty to replace all the struts, then absolutely.
If not, then it's still worth to do all of them.
The front have to come out anyways, so there shouldn't be any extra labor.
If one rear is already getting replaced, then it's just a little extra labor to replace the other.
