You may have to relocate the fender tab. Other than that, you should be fine.

Is a 255/35 a similar stretch on a 19x11 as a 245/35 is on a 19x10? I know offsets but not tires lol :X

I know people have suggested 245/35 or 265/30 for a 19x11, but I dont like the sounds of either and still need somewhat of a stretched tire.

I found some BBS LM REPS here are the specs;

19 x 8.5 +35 FRONT

19 X 9.5 +35 REARS

5 X 114.3

I have 06 is350 do I need 3mm spacers upfront? Also I am not lowered and do not plan on being lowered, will these wheels work no issues? The tires are at 90% tread, missing the center caps, but for $800 they are a steal right?

Thank you for your help sorry for the newbie questions....

Front 19x9.5 +20 with 3" lips
Rear 19x11 +25 with 4+" lips
225/35
245/35

Will this setup fit on a IS350 with fenders rolled? I can buy a camber kit if that's needed.

I've searched through this thread a lot and haven't seen much mention of people running 285/30/19 tires. I'm not much for the stretched tire/stance look.

My question is with a minimal spring drop (H&R or Tein) will I have any major rubbing running a 285/30/19 tire on a 40 offset on the rear of an 06 IS350? If not what is the max offset I can get away with running a wider tire?

my wheel specs aren't really aggressive 9x19 offset 37 225/35 19 and still this happened when i hit a pothole:



this just sucks.. i thought with those specs i was safe.. how the **** could this happen.. the car is lowered to a "no gap" between tires and fender.

what can i do to avoid this, besides not driving through potholes? :F

I have this exact same spec. My tires are 235/35/19 Front and 255/35/19 Rear. Lower about 1.5 inches front and back. Front gets very very slight rubbing. Happens only when hitting extreme bump or running over big traffic bumpstop without slowing my car. 98% of the driving, no rub. The rear is ZERO rubbing. You can even go 265/30/19 in the rear without having to modify/roll/cut your rear fender. For the spacer, I have IS250 which has tiny front calipers. For IS350, if possible, you better try fitting it before buying the wheels.

SCWB

Obviously, the answer is to raise the car up OR roll the fender out. You can't get away with "no gap" with the wheel spec that you have, even you consider it not aggressive but it is approx 1 inch poke out compared to factory wheel. This combined with "zero gap" shall result in bent fender for sure. I have 19x8.5 +35 with 235/35/19 running 1.5 finger gap up front and I have no problem at all. I guess 1 finger gap is about a border line of hit or no-hit on fender.

This will work with rolled fenders, pulled rears, relocated bumper tabs and you might need a camber kit. Tire sizing is perfect.

DocFreud

thanks for your answer.
i thought i am pretty safe, because here at CL are many car owners who lowered their cars much more then mine and have wider/pokier wheels.. so all those drivers have the risk to bend their fenders..?

another question, is it possible that better coilovers (i am on D2 coils) will avoid the tire meets fender situation?

Hi, Will 18x9 +37 offset with 245/40/18 tires (front) and 18x10 +44 offset with 275/35/18 tires (rear) cause rubbing issues? Lowered 1.5 inches. Thanks

2013 IS250 awd looking to put on the TSW Nurburgrings 19x8.5 45 offset in front in rear. Will 235 35 19 tire work?

SCWB

You are not alone. They all have run into the situation over the course of their drives, sooner or later. Thread below can comfort you. Just read through, you will find some guys just repeatedly got the fender bended. They have learned to solve the problem by getting the fender rolled.

Other options you might look into:

1. Running stiffer spring. You don't need new coilover. Just change to stiffer spring (Higher spring's "K" constant). Those who have aggressive wheels and slamed ride height (tires tucked) run 12K or 14K on the front coilover.

2. Get the front camber arm kit. With more negative camber, you can reduce the risk of bending your fender. This is because the top of your wheel will slant into the wheel well, providing more clearance between tire and fender

3. Running smaller thinner tire. Such as 215/35/19
