How in the world are you running 19x10 +23 with 275/35 in the rear without rubbing?? I have 19x10 +42 with 295/30, so the tires are 10mm wider on the outside but the wheel has 19 more offset, so the outer edge of my tires stick out 9mm less than yours. Plus my tires have a diameter of 661mm compared to yours which are 675mm - so they are 14mm taller. I had my fenders rolled and I still rub on big bumps or dips in the road, and there's no way in hell I could get away with another 9mm, plus have a larger diameter tire, and have it remain remotely driveable.

Are you sure about those specs? Or do you have adjustable camber arms running an addition -2 or -3 degrees of camber? That's the only way I could see that setup possibly working.

No all stock suspension, the rears rub going +50 mph with bumps in the road. Yes I'm positive, the stickers were on the wheels when I purchased them.

What brand & model of tires are you running? That could be the difference because tires can vary +/-1" in width (25mm) from brand to brand in a given size.

Nope, born/raised in western WA. Joined the army after high school, got Calvary/veteran window decals. Only college I've done is certificate programs for being a composite technician for airplanes mostly but I'm currently a fuel cell technician on te 787 dreamliner

They will clear the brakes. I have a set I just took off my SC. I fit the driver front rim on and set it on the ground. Just didn't look right to me. So I posted them for sale. Might look better with a drop!

I guess maybe I should put them on my F & post a pic!

That's weird, I have a set of 19in. F-Sport wheels and was going to try them on my F to see what they look like. I started with the rear, and right away the rear spokes wouldn't clear the brake caliper.

I am looking for a set of wheels which are 20x9 +35 and 20x10.5 +45 on my IS-F. I wanted to do a very conservative drop, still deciding on whether I should get springs or coils? What size tires should I purchase, and with say maybe a 1" drop do you thing I would need any fender mods or will be pretty flush?

Rolling your fenders will be a good idea, and with that setup you can run a 245/275. & coils for sure so you can adjust the height.

Thanks! 245/35 and 275/30 would do? I would hate to have a thinner aspect ratio or have to stretch tires!

guys, I got these dpe 19x8 +45 front & 19x9.5 +45 rear. The front has only been lowered, and I m looking to get spacers. Do you guys think 15mm h&r would do fine without rolling fenders or should I do 15mm front and 5mm rear? thanks <br/>
