Default aggressive wheel fittment

ok so im looking at a set of rims someone is selling, do you guys think this will fit without any fender mods and rubbing? and not sticking out too much? oh and one more thing, will 38 clear the front caliper without a spacer?

first off i have a IS250 with a s-tech drop. 1.6 inch front/ 1.2 inch back

18x8.5 Front ET38 (approx 1" lip)
18x10 Rear ET42 (approx 2" lip)
245/45/18 Front
275/40/18 Rear



Thanks in advance.

i know the offsets are not that aggresive, but I dont see many people running 10'' widths. Does anyone with a 10 inch rears wtih about a 1inch drop in the rear here need to do any fender mods? also its 10 inchs with a 275/40/18, im not sure if that will fit in our wheel wells

Actually, a lot of people do run 10" width. A +42 will be fine. I'm running 20x10 +30 in rear and it rubs even with rolled fenders. So I'm about to swap out the tires from 275's to 255's.

10"s still aren't going to look anymore aggressive with 40 offsets than 9.5s or 9s with 20 offsets....btw there are TONS of people running 10" rears on this site.

but to answer your question:

your drop isn't substantial enough for modding your fenders and

you wouldn't rub with that tire on that rim with the s-tech drop.
