what's up CL...I have a set of workmeister S1 3p wheels I'm currently having rebuilt. wondering on fitment as I'm looking to drive these as a daily with correct fitment as close to flush as possible.
my current set up is 18x8 +36 and 18x8.5 +37 which I'm changing to 18x8.5 +30 and 18x9 +31
QUESTION: for the rear will a 18x9.5 +25 be an issue? please help ASAP my order is in but need to know if changing to 18x9.5 will be an issue (obviously I rather go 9.5 over the current order of 9)
thanks in advance for you help

Hey guys, new to CL here, thank you for this thread. I've read through a whole bunch of other threads as well, from what i gathered this setup should work but wanted to get a confirmation. 2012 AWD IS250 lowered on H&R springs, I want to run this setup with Enkei Tenjin's:
Front 18x8.5 +35 225/40/18 or 235/40/18
Rear 18x9.5 +30 255/35/18 or 265/35/18
I'm worried about rub in the rear with the +30 offset, wouldn't mind rolling but rather not. Thoughts?

Rear 18x9.5 +30 255/35/18 or 265/35/18

what up CL, ive been reading alot post and cant to find the same set up i was planning,
i got 18x9.5 +22 all around with h&r springs.
thinking putting 225/45/18 in front and 245/40/18 rear or 235/40/18.
do i have to roll or shave linings?
im trying to avoid any fender work/mod, and keep a good quality ride.
if anyone can suggest a best tire sz for 18x9.5 +22 prefer beefy tires than stretched
thanks appreciated

maybe 215 in the front and 235 in the rears. Not sure what H&R drop is but I rub with a 2" drop. check out the is wheel fitment thread. I posted some pics and specs

I'm almost positive you'll have issues all around. I have 18x8.5 +30 (225/40/18) and 18x9.5 +24 (245/40/18) and barely making it. If I were to guess I would assume camber all around for sure and stretched tires.

its F-1.4" R- 1.3" dropped, 235/40/18 you think will work fine?

UPDATE: Wait, I think they may be Sport Edition SE-14's.

You got it. Make sure you call them and ask for the 35 offset. It will bring out the wheel a little more. Still going to need spacers if you are really picky about stance. Thats the only thing I dont like about the wheels. Im afraid of spacers and they dont offer a wider width in 18''
