@will_gs400
i dont exactly know how low you are on your coilovers(maybe post some pics of your setup???), but yeah a 25mm spacer will get you sitting very close to flush with the fender... And it is highly recommended on here to cut the rear fenders and pull instead of just rolling them. The 2gs rear fenders are a b***h to roll in the back. And even after fender mods, its quite likely that you will still be rubbing because your tires are so big.

Best bet is to actually go outside and measure your current wheel setup to see what kind of spacers you'll need

hey all,

I am looking at 19 x 8.5 in the front and 19 x 9.5 in the rear for my 2010 IS250 RWD......

what offset would you suggest if I plan on lowering the car to no wheel gap (flush with fender), and minimal camber?

I do not plan on going extremely low, but low enough to have slight tuck.

A friend suggested +25 offset......is that too much poke?

It's gonna fit, but your rear tire is huge compared to your front tire.

How about a 255/35 and the offset's going to look good you think?

How it looks is a matter of taste.

Going to do a staggered wheel set up with 20"s on my 99 gs3 also going to roll the front's & cut the rear's fenders what offset will bring the wheels out flush with the fenders.

Front 20×8.50 Rear 20×10

Check out rimtuck.com, you should be able to get an idea of what offset your looking for to get the look you want. Good luck

Up and coming setup.
18x9.5 30 offset
18x10.5 15 offset
obstacle: LS400 calipers and 15mm spacers in the front
15mm spacers in the rear
Question: will the front poke more than the rear?

No. Your front will now be +15 and your rear will be 0
