Hi Guys,
I am new to this forum and Lexus. Always been and still BMW guy. Just picked 2010 IS AWD for the winter. I love everything about the car except the stock height and wheels. I am a noob at this AWD wheel fitment thing. I am planning to drop the car with Tanabe Springs; 1" drop I believe and planning to get the following setup. Please let me know if this setup will work. I do not want to do any fender work. Setup as as follows:
19x8.5 ET 40
19x9.5 ET 40
Thank you in advance

My summer tire setup for the front is 19x8 +37 with 235/35 tires. You should be fine if you run those tires up front, but the rear may have a noticeably visible stretch.. I would suggest 255/30/19 all around so you can rotate tires. Or, if you want to run a staggered setup, 235/35 up front and 275/30 in the rear will give you the least risk of trouble with the AWD system. Those are the sizes I'm running on my staggered wheels, which are 19x8 +37 and 19x10.5 +43.

Otherwise, run the same spec wheel on all four corners. This will avoid that potential problem and allow you to continue to rotate your tires and maximize their usage.
Also I suggest you check out pictures of a 1 inch drop. Its barely noticeable and most people regret not going lower. H &R springs are a good place to start in my opinion (1.4 inch drop)

For AWD I would go
225/35/19 and 265/30/19
Or
235/35 and 275/30
But you will rub in the rear if you go 275/30/19 with 9.5+35
