With the 19x9.5 +35, it's right at that borderline where the right rim and tire will clear, and the wrong rim and tire will rub. Specs aside, sometimes it just comes down to the final design of the rim and the tread width of the tire.
If you already have the Downs installed, then I say give it a try first and see what happens. Even if it rubs, it should be minimal, so it will give you a chance to explore options.
You could raise the vehicle on Half Downs, or switch to a 255/30/19, or install SPC camber arms and camber in the rear just enough to clear.

Looking into running a square set of 18x9.5 +38 OR 19x8.75 +35 on my 200t w/stock suspension. Any issues with rubbing or poking? Any tire recommendations? Thank you!

For the front, in the event the tires did touch the suspension, a small spacer could be added...3mm or 5mm.
If you want to flush the front, then a quality 10mm spacer will bring the wheels out to a more flush stance.

The spacers were needed as the rims cleared my original 250 front brakes, but not the upgraded 350 brakes.
Effectively the front is now +29.
Pics in my build thread if you're interested. See link in my signature below.

Hey guys, been a while but finally got an IS350. 2014 Gray /black 48,000 miles. Current situation. Selling my 06 TL, and I have 2 sets of wheels. 18" Motegi 18x8.5 +35 hyper silver w/245/40-18 on them and a set of P40 style wheels hyper silver from ebay 19x8.5 +35 w/245/35-19 on them. Factory wheel specs for TL was 17x8 +45, and both sets of wheels sit perfectly at the fender with no rub with H&R springs. I went from the 19s to the 18s because the 35 series tires rode too rough, but I had Koni struts also. I want to go 1/2" to 1" wider on the IS wheels and go with a 245 tire in front and a 275 tire in back. I want the wheels to sit as even as possible from the side view and sit close/flush to the fender without rub. Dont know if I should keep the 18s and use 2 of them, and then order 2 more matching. Would a set of 18x8.5 & 18x9.5 35 & 40 offset wotk with the size tires I want? ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!! 19s and 18s pics reference below on the TL

I got a quick question, this is for an is300 AWD 2016 I just bought yesterday.
Is it necessary to run staggered on this car? I plan on going RSR down springs with this setup 18x8 front and rear. I just wasn't sure if i should run staggered or not.
Right now I have stock wheels, i can't even tell if they are staggered to be honest, lol
