Default 19"x8.5" & 19"x9.5" Wheels

Anyone know what offset of 19" rims should I get for my IS250 RWD with F-Sport Suspension and F-Sport Lowering Spring? (Think around 1" drop in front and Rear)

My plan are 19"x8.5" in Front & 19"x9,5".

I'm need the offset and tired that will not rub my fenders without roll or any modify.


Thanks for sharing!

Like RadicalRev said, +35 all around is a good starting point. For tires, look at 235/35 in the front and 265/30 in the rear (or 275/35 if you like your tires beefy).

Don't forget the drop!

Note: OP doesn't want tires to rub.

Will a 275/30/19 rear tire fit with 35 offset without rubbing?

What about FR 215/35/19 +20 and 235/35/19 + 25 ? I also don't want to roll the fender or do any mods to the plastics. If that doesn't work then i'd can get a higher offset. Thanks in advance.

I'm interested in knowing too, I might go with 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear without worrying about rubbing in the rear and back.

For those who has the same set-up, what offset and tire size do you guys have that doesn't rub at all?

I have the 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 SSR Type-F's and they are offsets of +22 in the front and +30 in the rear and I rub like nasty. So don't get them, I'm also dropped on coilovers and pretty slammed. I have 245's up front and 265's in the rear

okay here's the deal guys... go for +35 all around.. yes you can.... the fronts will need 225/35-19 for no rubbing.... and... 265/30 for rears.. no fender mods.. no nothing..

you guys should have an official offset thread and have Javy make it a sticky so people dont have to read through all the pages and can get an idea of what offsets will work with or with out the fenders rolled/shaved.

eric R ho - I would say the 245 is a pretty big tire to be dumped with that offset IMO. 235 or even 225 would be better.

9.5 in the rear with a 275/30 will work. you can go 265/35 or even 275/35. Specs call for a 35 series tires in the rear on a 19" rim. Its really preference from here. I wish I had pushed mine to 285/35 but I didnt....I personally was 19x10 with a 275/35 but the offsets required me to roll my fenders. I could have went more conservative and not.

g/l with everything.

Unless you are slammed I would go 235/35...if on springs go 245/35. Javy did it and it looks more balanced with the rear tire and fills in the slight gap in the front from lowering springs. The rears are more important assuming you have a RWD car and throwing off the speedo.

The tires were free so I just slapped them on, when they get worn out I'll definitely slap some 225 series on the fronts..it's just ridiculous how badly I rub. I need a fender roll BAD..

I also suggest if you are going to mess with the fenders shave them as they dont seem to like to be rolled on these cars. I was only able to find one place locally that would touch it and found out why in the long run the paint started to crack. I am shaving them on the GS to fit the new rims.

agreed i have rolled over 30+ cars (i have a roller tool) and the IS350 was a PITA to roll dont know why though.

i have te37 19X9.5 34 offset and running 275-30-19 Yokohama Advan Super AVS on the rear and i still rub after rolling
but i think yokos run wider then some tires
