Default Scrub Radius

I just ordered a set of new wheels for my 07 IS250 RWD.

These are the specs:
19x9 (+41) planning to go with 225/35 tires
19x10 (+37) planning to go with 255/35 tires

How will these affect the scrub radius on the car?
I've been reading about scrub radius and how it can cause some instability and wheel bearing issues with wheels with lower offsets.

Not sure what you mean by scrub, but I'm thinking rub? This setup will be fine. You MAY want to roll your rear quarter panels...MAybe. You should be cool though.

no, that's not what the OP was talking about. he's talking about this.

and given the wheel specifications and the desired tire size, i think he should be okay without fender modifications.

/OT

to the OP, i don't think you should have any issues w/ the scrub radius for everyday driving. there should be enough tolerance built into the 2is suspension system to compensate for this.

The scrub radius will be almost the same as stock. You've only moved outwards 4mm per side on the front, which is not even noticeable.
