Vossen wheels on this Bagged IS300!

cliffhokie

I tried searching, but didn't recall seeing this combo on an AWD, but would 245/35R19 front and 275/30R19 rear work on an AWD? Not asking about spacing, I'm relatively certain I can clear this without any issues, but wondering about the 1.2% difference in diameter between Front/Rear, which is slightly more than the 235/265 FR combo I'm currently running. I seem to remember someone saying 2% and below shouldn't affect the AWD system.

Looking to put some 19in wheels onto my 2018 Lexus IS300 F Sport RWD (Post Facelift IS)
Will lower it on AirLift Performance suspension or Coils soon as well.

Looking to get some wheels that are
19x9.0 +33 with 235/35/19 Tires (FRONT)
19x9.5 +38 with 245/30/19 Tires (REAR)
Will they rub?

I think you need to decide first if you're doing air or not...cause if you want to air out all the way down, then the front could be an issue...i would suggest an 8.5 inch rim in that case.
And the rear you would want a little more offset if you're doing air as well...maybe +42 or so.
Also, is the rear tire size correct, or a typo? Cause a 245/30 is too small for a 9.5 inch rim...unless you're purposely trying to really stretch the tire.

Sasnuke

Likely you haven't gotten any responses on this as you did note that no one has done this combo on AWD.
When i look at the tire sizes, I look at circumference rather than diameter.
The stock F sport tires, even being staggered have a circumference of 25.1 inches.
The setup you are proposing will be 25.8 inches front and 25.6 inches rear. Also consider that variations in tire brand will have variation in exact circumference...could be a variance of 0.2-0.3 of an inch.
Given that they are not that much bigger than stock sizing, I don't foresee an issue.
With the AWD you're trying to keep the front and rear circumference the same...in this case it will be very close.
The speedo will be off, but not a tremendous amount.
I say go for it!

Appreciate the feedback. I didn't think it would be an issue, just thought I'd get a second opinion. On some other forums, people were of different opinions.

Hi Sasnuke,
I appreciate your time to respond to my question!
So I have decided to go with Airlift 3P with Performance Adjustable camber plate Struts.

I don't plan on airing all the way down, my choice to go with air suspension is really the streets in LA are horrid + my driveway, i would also like to keep comfortability into play while also getting a 1.25 to 1.5in drop max for drive height.

My front and rear I went with a minor tire stretch on the minimum tire you can run on these widths(Source: https://www.tyresizecalculator.com/c...rim-size-chart) just to due to look due to as im going with some Leon Hardiritt Ordens and personally want to stretch just a bit.
Following that response if i were to do a
19x9.0 +33 Standard Disk
19x9.9 +38 Low-Disk
Would these type of faces cover my brakes? I noticed the front on my car are huge and my rear are small.
Thank you again,
Alex P.

Does anyone know if this fitment will fit? These wheels are currently on 2IS lowered on coilovers with camber kit. I have a 3IS stock, but will get down springs.

Work VSXX 19x9.5 +24 and 19x10.5 +29.

Thanks

Sasnuke

Unfortunately they will not fit.
The fronts are too wide and the offset is too low.
The rear offset is way too low...it would need to be +45 or higher to fit.

Sasnuke

I'll assume that rear rim is supposed to be a 19x9.5 +38.
By the numbers the rims should fit, but it's difficult to factor in spoke design.
Because it's a 3 piece rim, and the design of the face is fairly flat, it really depends how thick the backplate is. The backplate is the piece that will fit over the studs and sit directly on the rotor.
The rear won't be an issue, as you noted the brakes are small.
The front is where the concern is. If the backplate isn't thick enough, then the rim will hit the rotor...however, adding a small spacer will usually correct that...like 3mm or 5mm.

Thinking about ordering up a set of black Enkei TS9's for my Atomic Silver 16' 3IS. Was planning on switching over to a square setup, with a 18x8.5 +35 wheel with a 245/40r18 tire.

Looking at either a General GMAX AS-05 or a Goodyear Eagle Sport A/S. Any thoughts on fitment or recommendation on tire before I pull the trigger? Used for commuting, gets cold and occasionally get a light dusting of snow where I live, commuting about 100 miles a day. Factory ride height and no plans for lowering it.

Sasnuke

The wheel specs looks like they should fit no problem.
You can up-size the tire to a 255/35/18...which is the stock size for the rear of an F Sport.
I'll leave the tire rec's for others to chime in on...over here we have winter, and not-winter lol...so my tire rec's won't be any good to you.

Will the 255/35r18 work on the front without rubbing (square setup) if I went with a 18x8.5 +35 wheel?

Right now my car is staggered 255/35's in the rear and a 225/40 in the front.

Sasnuke

It will be fine, especially since you don't plan to lower the car.
Since you have the F Sport wheels already, the rear specs will basically be the specs for your new square setup, minus the offset.
Imagine adding a 15mm spacer to your current rear wheel, that's what the new wheels would look like for spacing.
To get more of a visual, you could also take your rear F Sport wheel and mount it on the front...just to give you an idea of what the new wheels would look like.
Keeping in mind you have to imagine it 15mm more towards the outside of the vehicle because of the difference in offset.
