How big of a rim can you go on a is250 awd... I wanna put bbs 19" 9.5 on.. Can I??

short version is "yes."

but... that's given that 1. you have the right offsets, and 2. the wheels clear the brake calipers.

What are the offsets? Are you doing 19x9.5 all around since its AWD?

May have to do a little fender work in the front, not 100% sure though....

Post up the offset and what tire size(s) you plan on running.

Thanks fornur help guys.. What imma do is just put some badass bbs's on instead of dropping it.. I've been seeing here if u drop a awd it starts the shakes so to eliminate that gap just go bigger.. What do u think

IMO, aftermarket wheels without a drop looks odd on the 2IS.

I agree

I had 20x8s all around before.



I got 20x9 +35 and 20x10 +40 on the way


current set up
19 x 8.5 +38F & 19 x 9.5 +45R
dropped 1.25 on Megan springs. No rub. Fenders aren't modded either.

you CAN lower the ride height of the awd 2is and NOT get drivetrain issues.

and even though you could go with larger wheels, you'll need lower-profile tires to retain oem rolling diameter, which means you won't be eliminating any of that "gap".

btw getting bigger rims will not eliminate the wheel gap, my car is dropped on springs no issues at all. I'm even running a staggered set up right now but as long as the overall diameter is the same or very close to stock you wont have any issues
