HI! i'm new here. My question is what is a good staggered size for my 01 IS300? I'm thinking about getting 18 inch rims but i'm am not sure about what would be the best offset without changing anything or running into rubbing problems. I also want it to fit flush. I plan on dropping it about 1 inch in the future. This is the kind of thing i'm talking about....

18's is a good size, but it wont look like that pic. That's about a 2" drop.
Get +45 offset for a flush look.

Apex84

A +45 won't give you a flushed look.

endleesss

I meant +42

Apex84

Not trying to bash or anything like that, but you do mean flush to the fenders right . If thats the case you would need to roll the rears to get that fully flushed look.

I guess you can interpret that many ways.
To me flush is the tires being flushed with the fender, or close to it without rolling the fender

Apex84

Oh ok cause flush to me is as close as possible to the fender to include rolling.

This is the "flush" i'm talking about. sorry for the newbie question but could someone explain the +45. Sorry i came from Integras where staggered rims werent an option

Here is the "flush" I'm talking about.

That is a sweet *** ride but its a bit too wide for me. I'm looking to put 40 series tires on the rear if possible which is why i want 18 inch rims i was thinking 18x8.5 on the rear with 235-40-18. I live in NC where dirt roads are a must and i really dont want to hit a pot hole with my tires that close to the fender. I wish i could go with that setup but not sure i want to risk it.

Hello!

I want to purchase new rims, I am thinking about getting 18" (18x9.5 rear and 18x8.5 front) but I am not sure if 9.5 will fit??? I don't want my wheels 2 stick out 2 much

Apex84

A 9.5 will fit, it just depends on the offset.

LEX-IS300

the offset is +35mm will that be ok?

Apex84

It will be fine depending on the drop. I have 19s with an 1 1/2 drop on the front and it clears fine. You may have to roll the rear though.

LEX-IS300

Phew.... That's good 'cuz I already ordered them...and everyone told me that they will not fit....
Thanks for your help
