Need Help With Modulare M3 Wheel Offset
I'm thinking about buying a set of 19" Modulare M3 wheels for my IS350 sport in the near future. I want to run 19x8.5 (235/35YR19) in the front and 19x10 (275/35/YR19) in the rear. Can someone help me determine what offset I need to avoid rubbing? Does offset depend on the manufacturer/type of wheel also? Basically, I don't want to do anything to the car, such as rolling fenders, to achieve that. I noticed that some people have been going with 19x9.5 (265/35/YR19) in the back, which is fine with me if that's what it takes. Anyhow, please offer any advice you can. Thanks!

You will rub in the front no matter what. I'm talking about slight rub against the fender liner when your steering wheel is fully turned.
With 235 in the front, I would go with +35 offset with High Disk
For the rear, +45 is safe, but you can go lower. Depends how "square" your tires are.

How much were you quoted for those wheels if you don't mind me asking? I'm looking at very similar Zenetti's.
Read the Wheel sticky for the 2IS front to back. You can figure out what works and what doesn't there.
I would suggest a 30 Series Tire in the Rear for the whole diameter thing and not having to re-calibrate your speedo.

I've been dealing with the Modulare manufacturer/distributor for a couple of months because I was planning on buying those wheels myself. The answer to your question is that you don't need to know the offsets
why? because they are custom made wheels and all you do is tell them what you want, and they will make the wheels with the proper offsets 
The name of the company is www.wheelexperts.com. Just call them at 817/416-9748 and ask for Peter Lee. He should be able to help you with any concerns/questions you might have about the wheels. He also offers some pretty good tire/wheel packages as well and can help you with selecting the right tire for your car. Now go and get those wheels because they're really awesome!!
