After advice on whether I would survive with 275/30/19 on 19x10s with ET 30 and 1.1" drop. I don't carry passengers but there are road bumps.

Running 19x9.5 +35 with a 225/35/19 up front, and 19x10.5 +22 with a 245/35/19 out back.
Currently natural camber with shaved bumper tabs up front and rolled quarters in the rear.
Camber kit is in route so I can tuck the rears in a bit more without so much rubbing!

How much of a stretch is the front, I don't think it was safe to do it and ... stay away curbs much?

Imo you should get wider tires in the rear.

Pretty aggressive stretch all around. Definitely have to steer clear of the curbs!
Absolutely love the look, and the way the setup came out so I'll be sticking with these sizes.

Has ANYONE upgraded from 265 wide to 275 on 19s AND on the IS250?

I read that someone on this thread said that 275 was too wide and that they couldn't the car to move. How true is this, is 275 too wide for the 250, I'd imaging the 350 would be fine cos it's got more power?

She will look racey! Bc racing seem to popular here. I'll probably be going with fortune auto coils next summer. They're made a few miles from me and have an awesome reputation.

Just had a good look through here and my setup isnt installed yet, but...

19x9+25 fronts on 215/35s
19x10+25 rears on 235/35s

I dont really want to go route of this whole "bumper tab" relocate as I have no idea where it is or how to relocate it ?
don't mind getting rolled fenders though as I do plan on tucking a bit all around.

Its going on extra low bcr's with 14/12k rates,

sorry guys I don't have an IS, I have an LS, but I was hoping to get some of your expertise on a set up I'm attempting.

Do you think I will be able to get away with just a fender roll or shave? I really DO NOT want to get into any fender mods, like pulling or cutting of any kind.

Rear has at least a full inch of poke, front a little less, but these photos are taken with the suspension on a jack, a few inches higher then stock, so it should tuck in somewhat when the car is at ride height.

Also I will be lowering the car on tanabe lowering springs, which should help a little more (or make it worse lol)

I'm in the process of refinishing these wheels now, so I'm wondering if I should bite the bullet and try to relip them or continue as is

Thanks
