Hello CL,
I have a quick question about tire sizes. I'm about to install Vossen VLE-1 on my car, but debating whether or not to get 245/35R20 or 245/30R20 for the front of the 3IS RWD. I know for the rear I'll be using 275/30R20, but don't know if the front will rub with 245/35R20. I just wanted a little more rubber to improve ride quality. Also, I will be lowering my car with RS-R Half Down lowering springs.
Thanks!

i'd probably go
front 245/30/20
rear 275/25/20
similar to what this guy has set up

I Just purchased Niche 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear for my 2015 Lexus Is. The front offset is +35 and the rear +40. Tires are the Toyo T1-R 245/30/20 front and 285/25/20 rear. No rubbing thus far but I intend to lower. I do not think we will have an issue once lowered. These wheels are very similar to the Vossen VVSCVT wheels.
