Talking QUESTION on FITMENT. I could search...

So I'm thinking of going the affordable route, taking everything into considering I have a 2006 IS250, has 104,000+ miles on it.

Ive contacted Varrstoen and they offer the ES 1.1.1 in 19x9.5 and 19x11, would that work? Asking all the wheel pros in this forum.

suspension: WILL BE, Megan EZ street coils, gonna order next week.

Do you know the offsets? it will help

You're going to need fender work though!

I think it might be too much work to make them fit.

getting an 11" to fit in the rear will be tough. like killa said it'll depend on offsets, tire choice, and how low you plan on going that will determine how much fender work you'll definitely be needing.

11 will fit easy with no fender roll if the offset is high enough.

you could have used the search function and at least find the "Will those wheels fit? Start here." thread.

i can tell you how you can make it work, but i've already told others what needs to be done in that thread, so it's already been addressed.

you just need to search for it.

Am I reading the size chart wrong cause the 1.1.1 only come in 18's? The 1.1.2 come in 19's and the offsets for 19x9.5 are 0,12,22,30. The 19x11 are 0,15,25,30

Yeah, but at 11" wide, It might hit the suspension bits inside the wheelwell.

Yupp . +25 to most is considered aggresive haha. You need like a 38 or higher to clear an 11. Colleen was running an 11 on her iforge wheels awhile back

the rear is not as complicated in terms of fitment. there's a lot of room in there to spare.

the offset itself isn't an issue.

the offset AND width of the wheel, is.

sizing chart reads correctly.

maybe the OP does mean 1.1.2.

Reason for 19s, i have a pair of 245/35/19, Michelin Pilot Sport 2, i don't wanna let them go to waste.

so the question, after looking at their sizing chart, what would be the "best" setup to go with considering i will get the coils and lower approx 2 inches.

maybe a "semi-aggressive" look, if that makes sense.

so much info out there to fish through. lol.

It's going to be hard to fit those. I am running 9.5 F and 10.5 rear +22 and I have rolled and pulled fenders, shaved parts of fender tab in the rear, relocated tabs front, and remolded fender liner in the front. After all that I don't rub anymore. I am still going to go with a 245 in the rear and get Megan camber arms and figs toe links so that it will be ok in the rear when i have people riding with me. I also may want to drop it a little more.You have to know what your getting in to. It's worth it if you want the look but you have to pay to play so to speak.

P.S.- I am on Megan Ez's running full stiff all the way around. If you want to go really low(tucking tire), you may want a stiffer spring rate than what the ez's come with.

Heres what he texted me " 19x8.5 front +15 and 19.9.5 rear +20, front 1.5 step lip and 2.5 rear step lip, 73.1 mm bore"
