I finally found some rims I like for a decent price.
the online store offers them in standard or staggered options.
other than the staggered offering more contact patch with the ground, but more rotating mass, what other pros and cons would I be looking at if I went staggered?
or should I just go with the standard setup, being the same size all the way around.


standard: 19x8.5 with 235/35/19
staggered rear: 19x9.5 with 265/30/19


I think the center hub for the is200t is approx. 60, but the hub size for these rims is 71, is that going to be an issue?
same bolt pattern with a low offset of 25 and 30.


any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks ahead of time.

Im not too sure what the benefit is. I have 20x9 vossens all the way around and i wouldn't mind having a custom offset. which vossen dose not offer. But if you go staggered expect to go through tires faster because you cant rotate them. I like the look of staggered tho. thinking of a 20x8.5 and a 20x9.5 are you gonna drop the car?

vossens seem to be the rim of choice for lexus is owners. they do look very sharp, but I wanted to go with something a little different.
that is a very valid point regarding the tires. thank you for bringing that up.
I like the look of staggered as well, but I wanted to make sure I did my due diligence in regards to researching the best option.


do you have pics of your vossens on here?
I don't think they will clear on my vehicle.
I wanted to see how they looked before I decided to drop it.

well if your going for a drop i would def go 19s. It seems to me the preferred size for a drop. I have a buddy on here who has a sick set up. 235/30/19 265/30/19 front +32 and rear +42.

I only have my vossens on my lexus because they fit over from my mazda 6 i had. vossens are cool unless you go forged your not gonna have much of a custom offset. Ive learned alot on here a few days. Check out some posts i put up recently could help you out...
You could go with a 20x8.5 and a 20x9.5 from vossen i think that would look a little better than my setup if you wanted to staggered it. but ive been lazy and haven't rotated my tires anyway haha.
