i've read some of these threads but I need a definite answer Now I'm about to order a set of wheels and tires the wheels im looking at are:
19x9.5 front +30
19x10.5 rear +30

I will be running a coilover.

Will I need a Camber kit
What size tire will I need
And what modifications will i need to make to the rear wheel well

And If I can't get away with the 10.5 in the rear can I run 9.5's all around?

OEM sizes. My Dunlops are almost brand new, so I'll have same sizes, same offsets.

I ordered the Foose Speed F136 in black/machined. I went with the 18's since my tires are still 85%, ride should be a little softer than with a 19 and I am an accountant, can't make the car look TOO modified.

I think the machined wheels on the SGM should look good. I've got the F-sport springs to go along with it.

Wheels are 19x8.5 38 offset front and rear was thinking 235/35/19 front and not sure on the rear. I hate the stretched look and since 38+ is conservative possible to run 265/30 or 275/30? Dropped on BC coils and pretty low, no gap. Do not want to do any fender modding.

Question:

Will a 20x9.5 and 20x11 be too much for IS350?
Willing to roll fenders, but don't want to pull.. is a pull needed?

From what I've seen, this guy is the fitment king and doesn't hesitate to answer a question without any flame behind it. I believe in giving credit where credit is due!

Any of you guys running 235/35/19 (x 8.5 + 30) in the front and rubbing at 80-100% wheel turn? Or is it just my tires. I've heard on other forums that Nexen N3000s, while still within spec, run slightly bigger than other brands.

Planning on getting 18x9 +32 up front and 18x9 +20 in the back and will be on BCR coils. Any clearance issues? Would I be able to run a 40 profile tire? Thanks.

I was giving you props for using that. its a great tool for anyone trying to figure out how far their new wheels are to stick out compared to their last set. again great find sir!

nexen runs a little big, general's have super stiff and rounded sidewalls, Toyo proxes 4's run square and smaller(from my expierence) and falkens stretch very well. you might have to bump down to a 225/35 which wont be much of a stretch. but i would look for tires that run smaller over all if you wanna keep 235/35 up front.

you can run 40's, roll your fenders and you should be ready to rock. i would run 235/40.
