Default Aftermarket wheel specs

I’m in the market for aftermarket wheels I’m looking at 3 piece wheels but not sure what specs to get since I don’t know how to figure all that out. If you’re running 3 piece wheels and don’t mind can you help or drop a pic with your specs? I’m on air suspension and I’m looking for a fender to lip look. Any help is appreciated thank you guys!

Welcome to the forum!

We might need a little more info to provide some answers.
  1. Do you want to run 18, 19, or 20 inch rims? (suggestion would be 19's)
  2. Are you going to run staggered or square? (suggestion would be staggered)

I want to run 19s and I was thinking a squared set up but if I get the look I want running a staggered I will. I’ve only seen one car on figment industries with the look I want running a squared set up.

I'm gonna be blunt on that fitment in the link...it's absolutely ridiculous. The tires are so undersized and unsafe it's not funny.
An 18x10.5 rim should have at least a 275 tire, and they are running 215...that's a 60mm difference (over 2 inches).
Never mind the offset is so low the rim is outside the fender.
The fact they said there's no rubbing or modification is a little misleading...since it's on air they can set the ride height high enough so nothing rubs, which would mean it's likely stock ride height at least.

If you want 19's I would suggest a staggered setup.
Something like front 19x8.5 +35 and rear 19x9.5 +42...that way you can air out all the way and not worry about hitting anything.
Tires would be 235/35/19 and 265/30/19.
You could also do a square setup with the front rim sizes and run a spacer in the rear...maybe 5mm or less.

im looking to get the work t5r2p in 19's with stock suspension. I have a '14 IS350 f sport awd
1- would be the best setup for flush look front and rear staggered rim and tire?
2- square setup size?

1. If you're looking for a flush setup, it would be easier to achieve with staggered rims/tires as you can vary the offset...something like F: 19x8.5 +32 or 9 +35 and R: 19x9.5 +38 or 10 +42 (these setups will clear even if you lower the vehicle later...depending on tire size)
2. You could try 19x9 +32...this would be super flush, so if you decide to lower the vehicle later it may or may not rub depending on tire size

Awesome thanks so much! I'm going to have all seasons on. I'd get the most meat between NYC roads and my precious rims as possible without rubbing haha. Any suggestions for the staggered 19x 9 +35 & 19x10 +42?
I'm looking to get the work t5r2p.

19x9 you can use 235/35/19
19×10 you can use 265/30/19
If you could get the rear in a +45 offset, then you can bump the tire up to a 275/30/19
