Default IS300 on 18x10.5 wheels ??

Hey guys I'm looking to buy some wheels for my car . I like wheels with lip . Now , is 9.5 in the front good or should I go 9 ? Is 10.5 gonna clear or will it be too big for the rear ? If you guys can help me out I would really appreciate it . Also , what offset would they have to be for the rear if 10.5 can work and front 9.5 if it can work ?

9.5 is going to work for the front with a pull and 10.5 for the rear yull need to run flares unless its a higher offset.

Awesome thanks . Now , question , what are flares ? The wheels I'm looking at have +20 which I'm assuming isn't high enough ...

flares are basically overfenders. you put them over where your original fenders would sit. you may also need to cut your original fenders. it also depends on how you plan to camber and your tire setup for the wheels.

Oh man ! So pretty much highest I can do without doing that is 10's in the back ? I already got my fenders rolled in the front so 9 should be fine in the front . The wheels I was looking at don't have 10 so that's why I'm asking about the 10.5 . I don't want much camber , I have slight camber now but don't want to much more .

Not true... I've ran 18x11 +0 in the rear with no problems without flares. Running 17x10.5 +20 right now and they're perfect. They'll fit, but not with 0 degrees of camber. Roll em, pull em, and drop it they'll fit!
