Quick question. Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I’m new around here.
i have a 2014 is250 AWD (non f sport)
was winding if I could run a squared set of
19x8.5 +35 245/40ZR19 98w with RSR Downs
with no issues?
anyone have this set up. I have a deal on the table for a new set of niche nessem with tires that’s under 1k for the whole set.
The tire would be too big for the car in terms of the speedo reading correctly, and possibly clearance too.
Typical for that rim size on 3IS would be 225/35/19 or 235/35/19.

The wheel width and offset should be fine with the front only extending about an extra 16mm (on standard 18x8" ET 45 front staggered setup) and back an extra 15mm (compared to 18x8.5 ET50). That's basically .6" extended further than stock on all fours. It's the height that will be out of whack. Stock is 225/40/18 front (for 25.1 diameter, 8.9" width, and 3.5" sidewall) and rear 255/35/18 (for 25" diameter, 10" width, and 3.5" sidewall). 245/40/19 will give you 26.7" diameter, 9.6" width, and 3.9" sidewall (close to stock 17" sidewall height). with the approximate 1" drop of the RSR downs, plus the increased height of the new setup (1.7" increase in total diameter), your speedo will be out of whack like crazy, and you "might" rub. You might consider buying the wheels and going with 255/30/19 rubber (if you want to run square setup). That should give you stock width/diameter and sidewall and with the low wheel width of 8.5" squared, you "should" be fine. That should also give you a little more sidewall protection since on 19" wheels, you are running pretty thin tires and not much protection on them. I wouldn't personally go 225 on an 8.5" since that will give you that stretched rubber look where you have virtually no sidewall protection and your wheels poke out significantly past the rubber. The only ones that pursue that option are the ones that need the extra tucked in clearance if they are slammed on super wide wheels, like 9.5" or 10" wide wheelson RSR super downs, etc. But that's my personal taste, and I seem to be in the minority (probably age) of most of the individuals on this forum that like that import tuner form before function look.
You better be right... Or I will make a drive to Canada... lol. The wheels come in this Friday.
Was a good call. I owe you!!!!! Of the 4 threads I have started or asked for help, you are the only one who responded.
Here they are MRR VP5 in matte graphite, 19x8.5 +35 w/ 245/35-19 and 19x9.5 +45 w/ 275/30-19. Car is dirty and I havent put my RSR drop springs on yet, but here are some pics.

Looking GOOD! Glad everything worked out.
It has the OE alternate 350 rim vibe to it.
Can't wait to see it dropped.

Looks good, i am currently on 19 x 8.5 +35 squared setup with 235/35/19 tires. Do you think the front tires at 245/35/19 will rub the fenders at full turn? Thanks...
I have Weds LXZ 18in. Willing to get them rebuilt to be flushed with the most amount of step lip possible.. Any spec suggestions? Please and thank you.
