Aftermarket Wheel Showcase - 3ISx Exclusive

I currently have a 2016 IS300 FSport. Will not be lowering it as I need to be able to drive in the snow. However, I want to minimize the gap between the fender and tire. I am avoiding the low profile tire set up as I live in a pothole ridden area.
I am looking at going with a square set up: 18x8.5 or 18x9 +35
Thinking of 255/45/18 tires.
Looking for input from the regulars on here regarding the set up. Will I rub at all?

The front 19x8.5 +30 with a 225/35/19 would be fine.
The rear 19x9.5 +35 would be little bit of an issue. With 9.5 on the rear you'd be looking for at least a +38, but ideally a +42 would clear everything without any chances of rubbing.
The 255/35/19 tire would be a little tall too...you'd want a 255/30/19.
You might find with passengers/cargo and over big enough bumps the rear might rub on the fender.
Maybe if you got a set of Hankook Ventus V12's you might just make it...but's it's a crap shoot since you're right near the borderline of fitment.

Would you say I should probably look for a different wheel/tire combo then?

Ultimately the decision is yours, but in this case you're dealing with literally millimeters.
If the rear rim was a +38, then I'd say go for it for sure...with a 255/30/19 tire.
You could chance it still, but then there's really not turning back.
Although, the Konig rim you're looking at has similar designs out there that may have the correct offset you need.
For instance the Verde Axis is a similar looking rim to the Konig. Not the same, but similar...and you can get it in a 9.5 +38.

Hi all,
Found some TE's and was wondering how these specs will fit with my AWD 2018 IS300
F: 19x9.5+22
R: 19x10.5+22
What size tires would work with these specs?
Will I need any camber, fender roll/pull?
TIA

9.5 on the front is really hard to fit properly without fender mods...9 is the widest you'd want to go.
The rear 10.5, you'd need a +45 to +47 to keep the fender off the rubber.
The rear fenders are already factory rolled...so nothing left to roll. The front you can get a little roll out of, but not much...so I wouldn't count on it for anything significant.

My set up rubs the fender on the inside when turning. (Front) I have 8.5 19” wheels with Falken azenis 235/35/19 I put a 20mm H&R spacer in there and it rubs like a ****. I then try a 15mm Adaptec and it still rubs a little when turning.
Im going to try 5mm then 10mm and see what happens. Seems like I should’ve 225s. Smdh
Btw the H&Rs spacers will be for sale. They’re the DRM for our car specs. Solid spacer thou, along with the Adaptec. I will post em later.

The offsets are way too aggressive to fit.
9.5 on the front is really hard to fit properly without fender mods...9 is the widest you'd want to go.
The rear 10.5, you'd need a +45 to +47 to keep the fender off the rubber.

And the 5mm or 10mm will fix that. The 10mm spacer will bring the wheel out flush with the fender.

With 20mm and 15mm hit the fender liner slightly when fully turn. I read some people are ok with 235/35/19 in the front. So I don’t know why mine it’s rubbing slightly like that. The suspension is stock.
