Default whats your wheel specs? 2014 IS

Hello, this is my first post and i am new to this! Glad to be apart of this. I want to get a set of 20 inch wheels for my 2014 is250 F-Sport but i don't want to lower my car just yet, but i don't want to rub or have to roll my fenders. what do u guys think would be the widest i could fit? 9.5? 10? 10.5? and also the wheel width. thanks hope to hear what you guys have to say. Also if any of you have wheels for sell let me know what you have!

I inquired to Vossen about some new 20" rims last week. This is the reply:

We offer the 20x9 +38 and 20x10 +45 for the 3IS. This fitment is available with our CV2/Cv3/CV7/CVT and the new VFS2

This setup will require a 235/30/20 front and 255/30/20 rear to avoid any rubbing issues.


Now, I dont plan on lowering the car either, so mentioned that to them in my message.

I have 20" Vossen CV5 and I am lowered on RS*R Down Springs. I have not modified my fenders AT ALL and I do not rub at any point. My specs are:

F - 20x9 +38 225/30/20
R - 20x10.5 +45 255/30/20

Wondering if 19x8.5" with a 25mm offset would fit without issue all around.

25mm sounds a bit too low to me, especially in the rears. I think that they would poke out too much. 18x8.5 +50mm is OEM FSport rear wheels. 18x8 +45 for front.

I'm just trying to avoid playing it too safe with 35 mm offsets as that only moves the wheels out 10mm back and 21 front. Less than an inch, so I wonder if it would be noticable enough.

We have people running 10" wide wheels with a 45 mm offset which is the same as an 8.5 and 25mm.

WIth 8.5 and 25mm offset - the rear will stick out 20mm further and the front will stick out 31mm. Perhaps too much, but that is why I'm asking since I've played it too safe before.

I had rubbing issues with 265/30/19 19x9.5 +35 in rear

But then again, I was on TEIN S-Techs....
