Default Question about offsets on the IS-F rims

1. What are the offsets on the stock IS-F rims?
2. Has anyone put on wider tires on the stock IS-F rims? Specifically would 245's fit the fronts and 275's the rears?

There are a couple of sets of IS-F rims on sale in the classified wheels and tire sections and I'm considering swapping out my 18 inch HRE's for them. I have the StopTech BBK, and considering that the IS-F comes with a Brembo BBK, I'm assuming they would clear mine.

My current wheels offsets are 31 and 37 and are high disk - https://www.clublexus.com/forums/780210-post195.html

1. For the '08-'11 model wheels, it's 19x8 +45 front and 19x9+55 rear. For the '12 model wheel, it is 19x8.5 +45 and 19x9.5 +55.

2. There have been many members running wider tires on the stock wheel. Many go with the setup you're looking for with the 245/275 combo, but I know a few members that are going 285, which they all have said safely fits with the '08-'11 wheel choices.

Hope this helps!

What kind of big brakes do you have? Because they clear stock F brakes yes, but that doesn't mean they will clear other big brakes. ISF wheels don't even clear IS 350 brakes without a spacer. Or stock LS 400 brakes, I know because I tried.

Oh sorry didn't see that. I would test fit in the front before buying a set.

So the only question is whether the rims will clear the StopTech BBK or not.

I have wider tires on my stock IS-F 2008 rims. I have 255/35/19 on the front and 275/35/19 for the rear. This is basically my current set-up right now. Check out the picture.

Next time I'd go for 285/35/19 for the Rear!
