I'm trying to learn as much as I can with wheels and offsets and I think these will fit, but want to be sure. Not sure why I can't find an 3is with these wheels and only GS.

I have a 2016 is350 f sport RWD and would like to put

TSW 19 Bathurst both in 5x114.3
19x8 et35 235/35/19

19x9.5 et39 265/30/19

Any help would be appreciated. Car isn't lowered at the moment. I tried all the calculators and it looks like it will clear but just want to be sure.

You should be fine. I'm lowered about 1" with 235/35/19 8.5" +35mm in the front and 255/30/19 9.5" +35mm in the rear with zero rubbing. If you're going super low, you may have issues in the back with 265 unless you go negative camber.
Seems like a pretty safe setup IMO.

Those will fit. But if your ordering wheels and can choose the size and offset, I would recommend:

F19x9 +32 225/35/19
R19x9.5 +40 255/30/19

Most guys run the following if they can:

19 x 8.5 +32 with 235/35
19 x 9.5 +40 with 265/35

This is a super safe set-up at stock height, and dropped.

You are literally 6.4mm outboard of that on the front wheel, but your 225 makes up for it by being a bit skinnier and shorter than the standard 235/35.

I'd say you'll be absolutely fine at stock height, or lowered, but with such skinny/short front tires you're not doing your wheels any protection favors for sure.

@zhieson : What springs are you using, and can you post a photo of your setup? I'm tempted to run the same setup.

the Bathurst faces are not bbk friendly. the fronts (8 35et or 9 32et) will probably not clear the 350's calipers without spacers.

edit: found the post about the guy who put them on a gs350 (same front caliper setup as the is350) they didn't fit until he put a spacer on and ground down the caliper a bit

True. It is important to realize that its not just size and offset that matter. There were several wheel designs that I liked, but after contacting the manufacturer direct, quite a few of them has caliper clearance issues, but just like stated above, a spacer will sometimes remedy the matter. I ended up finding some exactly how I wanted set up... 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5 +45, with 245/35 and 275/30

19x9 and 19x9.5 will keep the stagger ratios closer, but its not a big deal if you go 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. I would just +1" on width equally front and rear if possible.

19x8 +35 will bring your wheel in about 15mm more than 19x9 +32. So you wont have as much of a flush look as you probably would want.

Swift Springs Sport. About 1" front and .6" back. I went that spring because they're not too firm. Doesn't feel much different than stock and I have no issues with clearance (wheels and front lip).
Here is a quick pic of my setup. Just took one yesterday since I got my side skirts installed

Ok, ordered a set of wheels/tires from tirerack and they guaranteed fitment. I'm kind of concerned if I can lower my car to RSR halfdowns or fsport springs later on.

Ordered 19 OZ Leggera HLT. 19x8 et38 235/35/19 and 19x9.5 et45 275/30/19.

If I go with a mild drop, would I have any issues. I explained to them when doing calculators for diameter, 265 rears were closer to stock. They said that it's better to match to front diameter, since I'm going with a 235.

Thanks for the help.

Your rear wheel will fit no problem, it's all about the tire.

Maximum for the rear is 19 x 10 +40 with 275/30 without doing camber adjustments. You're 11mm inboard of that on the wheel, BUT it's all about which 275 tire you choose. If you go with a wide-running pure Summer tire, like the AD08R, then you could rub when dropped for sure.

thanks VisualEcho, tires I got were the Conti's DWS 06. Heard anything about those rubbing?
