Default Can you have a squared setup on a 14' IS350 RWD?

I currently have a 2014 IS350 F-Sport with stock wheels. Was wanting to get some aftermarket ones that were preferably used. Just to save some money. A lot of people don't have staggered wheels that they sell, rather they are all the same size. Am I able to run a squared setup? Or does it have to be staggered?

This would be my first time buying aftermarket wheels so I'm not too familiar if running a setup like this is going to be harmful at all. I've read places that it's possible but isn't the best and I've also read that it is totally fine and that it doesn't matter.

Appreciate any help! Thank you!

I run a squared setup and it's absolutely fine, in fact I prefer it this way so I can rotate tires and get more life out of them, you can't really rotate staggered setups.

I run 18x8.5 all around on 245/35/18 rubber

Good to know! What kind of offset do you have with both of them?

+40

My size combo is not the only squared setup option, I know other people are running different sizes and offsets, some with spacers and some without, but I only have experience with my current setup on the IS

Ohhh okay. Thank you!
Another question, are your wheels matte or glossy? I have gloss black for my car right now and am debating if glossy or a matte finish wheel is going to look better.

Mine are sort of in between, like satin finish I think? Its a flat black with little bit of shine to it, but I see glossy black wheels that look great on our cars too all the time. If mine were glossy i think I'd like them the same

Here is a thread with nothing but pictures of different wheels on our cars, might help you decide on a style
