7 posts and your telling us how things are here?

There is information in this thread but some of the IS owners can actually tell you if the setup your planning on running will have issues.

Post count has NOTHING to do with knowledge of how things work on ANY forum or the material in a thread, if you believe that the guy with the highest post count is the most knowledgeable then I STRONGLY advise that don't go modding your car based upon the person who spends more time posting on the internet than actually dealing with the topic that you're interested in...

[QUOTE=javyLSU;5369410]Want to know if your wheels will fit? Will it rub? What's the best offset? What sizes and widths should I buy? Start here.

This thread is the result of merging over 100 threads on the same topic - will these wheels fit on my IS? Feel free to ask any questions you may have on whether your specific wheels will fit on the 2IS, but please search this thread first - as you can see, there's plenty of information here already.

EDIT: For those of you searching or IS250 AWD fitment information, this thread should yield some great information.

This is the first post!!! I'm not into arguing on the internet or going back and forth but it seems as if most people these days don't take time to read through threads to get the information they're in search of, they want to scan through for a quick answer..Another word of advice for those modding, YES the forum is full of GREAT information however, you should always verify and check fitment yourself before purchasing any wheel and tire combination before you get burned.....I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE if I hurt anyone's feelings

35 for an aggresive fitment pushing wheels further to the outside of the fender, you may have to roll the fenders depending on what you carry on your backseat at times and the weight of items in the vehicle along with your rear spring rates/coilover setup, you should be fine though, 40 will tuck in a little, difference between stock and 40 is .118" which would move the wheel in a hair while 35 will let it sit .079" closer to the fender than stock.. Hope this helps, as I said before, make sure to check all clearances when suspension is fully settled...

Your post count had nothing to do with wheel knowledge it had to do with how the forum is ran.
Pretty much 90% of this thread is people asking what will fit because some of the older members have run those setups and can say what will fit.

Next time don't start a reply post that sounds like this!!

^^^^ DROP IT!!! If you can't tell by the post above your's that we are well past this point then I don't know what else to tell ya, I simply reiterated what was stated at the beginning of the thread...how many guys come in the thread asking questions and then get frustrated or discouraged when they don't see a response to their question..just saying... AGAIN, I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE for those whose feelings have been hurt and those who took what I was saying the wrong the way...END OF STORY, MOVE ON AND HAPPY MODDING!!! LET'S GO, Back on topic...

And will I have to worry about any rub when I put F-spring springs & shocks?

will they fit on my car (is350) without rubbing

these are the tires on the rims
245 35 19 and rears are 275 35 19

The rims will work but the tire size in the front is to meaty..you need 225/35...same for the back 255/30

For the fronts its gonna be
18x8 but possible offsets are either 48 or 35
Tires I would like to go either 225/35/18 or 235/35/18

Rear will be 18x9
Offset will be 38
Tires was looking into 265/35/18

I'm not trying to be aggressive but I don't want the factory high offset look
Any advice on offset and tire sizes would be helpful

Rich
You would be good with a 35 offset in the front and 225/35

The rear tires are good get a 225/35 for the front

I plan on going with Foose speed wheels (really like the machined look). 18x8 up front and 18x9.5 in the rear. IS350 lowered on F-sport springs.

I will be running stock tire size 225/40/18 front and 255/40/18 rear.

The lowest offset they have for the front is a 40 (OEM is 45) so that is what I am going with there. My question is in the rear. 1010tires suggests with a 18x9.5 to go with a +37 offset, the problem is the rears only come in +40 or +35.

So, do I go +35 or +40 in the rear? I don't want any rubbing or other junk. Will the +35 rub? Will the +40 look to sunken in relative to the front?

You will be fine with the 35 in the rear

Thats a serious stretch but it sounds possible.. Some fender modding definitely required but it will work.

Goodluck fellas

Daily driver. I'm looking for no rub, no fender mods, and maximum tire wear (while eliminating some wheel gap).

I was thinking about BC Coils (maybe adjusted for a 1+ finger gap) + 19x8.5/10 Linea Corse LC818 + tires (maybe 225/35 Front and 255/35 Rear).

Edit: Here are the offsets I see according to the wheeldude website. - +30F, +38Rmm

Thoughts?

What this guy says ^^^^^^^

I have 19x8.5 +30 in the Front and 19x10 +38 in the Rear. They are LC818s too. Car is AWD.

Tires are 235/35/19 and 275/30/19. I have Road magnet springs (~2") Am I going to have problems rubbing?

I can't find anyone with these on their AWD. Please share your knowledge MIA LEX

18x8 +38 offset ssr comps. 18x9 +44 in the rear. Planning to run 265/35/18 and 235/40/18. What would be the best size for comfort yet at times grippy. Keep in mind car is lowered on eibach pro. And rolling is possible. I have access to one. I just want comfort up front and no rubbing. Its my girlfriends ride. So a size chick friendly. However she's a crazy driver.
