Default Wheel size help.

Does anybody know if a 19x8.5+22 front & 19x9.5+22 rear will fit a IS250AWD?

thanks.

It will work with any IS AWD & RWD share the same body. But its up to you to make fender mods either roll/pull.

I had 19x9+40 front & 19x10+35 rear . The rear never rubbed & the front only rubbed on that bolt that holds the bummper to the fender.

+40/+35 is a big diff from +22 will rub and depending on your tire size you go with how bad. Fender mod are a must as there have been a few AWD member that had +22.

need more info. are you on coils? lowered? how much of a drop? do u want to roll ur fenders? do u mind running negative camber? how much would u be willing to stretch ur tires?

with a basic 1" ~ 2" drop, that setup will probably rub a bit on full lock and large dips/bumps with no fender mods.

Yeah I am having the same concern except the set up im looking at are 19x8.5 +22 all around which will give the front 12mm off from front fender, and 7mm off from rear fender. labo told me that i would need fender mods as well. Does anyone have pics of +22 offset on 19s on an awd?? i want to see how they look. cant seem to find em.
