Hey guy, recently I am thinking getting the F14 wheel from Forgestar but I am not sure what offset I should go for. Therefore, I am hoping to get some ideas from you guys. My car is 2008 IS 350 and I am thinking getting 19X8.5 for front and 19X9.5 for rear. Thank you for everyone attention.

Depends on if you want to tuck the tire or not. If you want to tuck the tire it would be best with some strech say a 215 or 225 on the 9" wide wheel and 245 on the 10" wide wheel. The offsets are semi aggressive which will give you some wiggle room on clearance so the stretch is really only needed for turning purposes not needed to clear the body work. If you plan on running a finger gap or more you can run 245 fronts and 275-285 rear's without an issue. Out back you have ton of inner clearance to the suspension so if you wanted to go wider and they had the option too you can go 19x11, 19x11.5, etc just need a slightly different (higher) offset than +30.

^ this is only my first set of wheels so I guess j can always change it. For now I'd like to keep full turning capabilities and like a finger gap. Tucked would look hella sick just don't think it's practical right now.

Sounds good. Just go with the specs you have now then and the wider tires. If they have a 19x11 or 19x11.5 option it will take no more work to fit than the 19x10 as the extra width is under the car not towards the fender.

What would be the best tire size ? Im looking for the best stance I can possibly get. The car is a is250 AWD lowered on Road Magnet springs which drop 2" all around . Rolling the fenders wont bother me at all. Please help me choose the best tires for the most aggressive stance.

Wheel Sizes:

2(19X8.5) With 2.0" Step Lip 20MM Offset
2(19x9.5) With 3.5" Step Lip 25MM Offset


or I can return them back and have them ship
2(19X8.5) With 2.0" Step Lip 35MM Offset
2(19x9.5) With 3.5" Step Lip 25MM Offset

which one should i go with?
Can anyone help me I'm loss.

I'd keep what you have. If you roll the fender you can push the rears out a bit with a spacer. I'd run a 215/35/19 on the front which you could use on the back as well. not 100% sure on the lexus awd but most awd cars are fine with tires being different heights up to 3-4% of each other which if this is true for lexus you could run a 225/35/19 out back.

Thank you man, I will keep these wheels it was good they shipped the wrong offset afterall. With the 2(19X8.5) With 2.0" Step Lip 20MM Offset using 215/35/19 will it rub in the front?

On the rear with 2(19x9.5) With 3.5" Step Lip 25MM Offset is it possible to run a little bigger tire.
245/30/19 or 255/30/19 ?

Really depends on how low you are more than the wheel specs. If your at a decent right height no however if your tucking tire then it will depend on your suspension setup and tuning.

Yes if you don't run a spacer or as big of spacer as I listed and still roll the fenders either would be fine.

Thank you for the prompt answer , Will it rub using these tires lowered on Road Magnets( 2" drop)? Of the top of your head how would you describe the stance? I know it will not be tucked for sure .
By any can I run a 255/30/19 or 265/3019 or I'm limited by the awd system?

07 awd Is250

your road magnet springs won't lower your ride height enough to affect fender-tire clearance. if you do, it'll be on extreme suspension loads.

i also would not recommend running anything wider than suggested.
